Garmin - nüvi 2597LMT - 5" - Built-in Bluetooth - Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates - Portable GPS - Black/Gray

I purchased this GPS a couple of days before leaving town, driving from NC to PA and back. It worked like a charm, giving accurate directions at the proper times. I LOVE the photoreal and bird's eye junction features that let me know at a glance which lane to be in (especially helpful when taking an off ramp with multiple lanes veering off in different directions). I found it easy to search for different waypoints (stores, gas stations, rest areas, etc.) and the whole system from the main driving/map screen to the menu to be very intuitive and easy to use. The traffic feature really helped me out a time or two with popping up, letting me know of traffic congestion and giving me a suitable detour. I haven't used the smartphone apps or the blue tooth connection, voice recognition or expandable storage yet so I can't speak on those features. The included mount works just fine for me (2011 Elantra) and hasn't given me any problems as of now but I have a back up mount handy just in case. All in all I think this is a wonderful GPS unit at a fair cost for all of the features that it offers and I have recommended it to several people.

This GPS was in the same price group with several others (well under $200) but was the only one with voice recognition. It's easy to use and accurate. The screen has great resolution. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is that I can't get the suction cup on the stand that came with it to stick to my dashboard. It's a very small suction. The previous owner of my car had something on the dash that has left a residue, so I am going to have to find a way to get the Garmin to stick. But the GPS itself is great, and I'm thrilled I got it.

Love it, great features from what I had with me former GPS, also love the Bluetooth feature. Would recommend to anyone.

I really like the Garmin - nuvi 2597LMT 5" GPS with Built-in Bluetooth but my wife loves it even more. With the 'voice command' and bluetooth it makes it easier to 'drive hands' free. The only problem I have is that she (when we are in the car together) makes 'her' phone compatible with the bluetooth. LMAO

good gps for a beginner. easy to set up, good price, lifetime map updates and traffic updates, built in bluetooth. slow in changing routes or picking up deviations from given route

I love this GPS. The directions are very clear. I am able to see if the next exit is almost there. The landmark is a big plus. I would not trade a Garmin for any other GPS. Thanks!!!!

It makes driving easy. It takes you straight to destinations and provides accurate alerts on the road ahead of you.

If you wanna get lost, buy another brand, Garmin has never failed me yet.
