Garmin nuvi 2450

April 9, 2011 By Rich Owings 1 Comment

The Garmin nüvi 2450 is one of Garmin’s recently released 5” ultra-widescreen navigators comprising the nuvi 24xx line. In addition to the big screen, these navigators bring many other high-end features at a relatively reasonable price, including several not found on the nuvi 37xx series, such as custom route avoidances.

Garmin dezl 560LMT review

Hands on trucker review of the Garmin dezl 560LMT

UPDATE: A new 7″ model is available, the Garmin dezl 760LMT.

The Garmin dezl 560LMT is a new top of the line navigator designed for commercial truckers (though it is likely to be quite popular with RVers as well). It has an ultra-wide 5” screen, preloaded maps of the US, Canada and Mexico, and comes with lifetime map updates and traffic.

Garmin gets Exit Services

March 31, 2011 By Rich Owings Leave a Comment

Garmin just keeps rolling out new features. I’m currently testing the trucker-friendly Garmin dezl 560LMT and came across what Garmin is calling Exit Services, similar to Magellan’s Exit POIs – a very useful feature indeed. Basically, it displays points of interest (POIs) for the next 10 exits or so, when travelling on limited access highways. I’ll be surprised if this feature doesn’t show up in the next generation of nuvis.

Garmin rolls out driving recorder in nuvi 2575R

March 22, 2011 By Rich Owings 6 Comments

Thanks to the FCC, we’ve got a sneak peek at the Garmin nuvi 2575R, a forthcoming model that offers a driving recorder, so you can capture the crash on film when you’re watching the big game. Which you can do because the 2575/2575R includes a TV receiver! And of course that means that this device is probably not heading to the US market, especially since the manual says it’s an analog TV receiver and they spell it “analogue.”

Garmin nuvi 2400 series hits the market

March 15, 2011 By Rich Owings 4 Comments

UPDATE: In addition to my hands on review of the nuvi 2460LT, I’ve now posted pages for the Garmin nuvi 2450, nuvi 2450LM, and the nuvi 2460LMT.

The 5” Garmin nuvi 24xx series has hit the market, and I suspect they are going to be quite popular. I was certainly very impressed with the nuvi 2460LT I recently reviewed. The custom avoidances and advanced detour features are welcome additions, and I expect many folks will consider the 24xx models the top of the line, since they seem to focus on function while the 37xx is more about style. Here’s where you can grab one:

In addition to the big screen, these navigators bring many other high-end features at a relatively reasonable price, including several not found on the nuvi 37xx series, such as custom route avoidances. Which makes the 2460LMT one of, if not the best, nuvi yet.

Garmin nuvi 2350

The Garmin nüvi 2350 is one of the recently released models in Garmin’s 2300 series, which brings the best features from the 3700 series, minus the exorbitant price tag. These include a historical road speed database for improved routing and the ability to learn your preferred routes over time.

Custom avoidances and advanced detours

February 23, 2011 By Rich Owings 15 Comments

While testing the Garmin nuvi 2460LT, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has the custom avoidances feature heretofore restricted to the nuvi 5000 and the 8xx series. I believe that another feature, advanced detour functionality, is entirely new for the nuvi line (and I’m sure a reader will correct me if I’m wrong!), so let’s start with that one. Oh, one other thing to prepend, and again, correct me if I’m mistaken, but it appears that these features are limited to the 24xx series, and are not found on the 22xx and 23xx models.
