    Returning. Freezes frequently, shuts off randomly, won't turn back on without significant time and effort, doesn't charge properly. Voice commands doesn't understand anything we say. Emailed Garmin for help to avoid returning...not helpful. When it was on the directions were good and easily understood. We will look for another option...

    This item was not my first choice. But necessity required I get something immediately. Even after updates were applied this GPS has led me ten miles away from my goal, taken me to places that don't exist anymore and failed to inform me of traffic jams even though Traffic is turned on. Just not worth the money spent on it.

    The GPS slow to find a street even if it is within a mile away. Can't turn it sideways like previous GPS's I have owned. Calculator apps no longer on this version. Overall I would have returned this sooner if I still had 30 days to return it.

    Although I bought the 2589 LMT GPS with lifetime maps and traffic which was supposed to come with the Traffic Receiver/charger, the package just came up with only the GPS Charger. No traffic receiver came.

      The traffic receiver is built in to this device and only requires a vehicle power cable. If you are having trouble receiving traffic alerts, Garmin Product Support would be happy to help with troubleshooting. Garmin contact information, including telephone numbers and hours of operation, can be found on our Support page: http://www.garmin.com/support Garmin

    Average GPS - everything else is extra

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After speaking with several reps at my local best buy I decided to purchase this GPS. I am constantly traveling and encounter traffic delays that my phone doesn't always foresee or provide alternative routes to (rarely but it happens). I was told multiple times that this GPS would alert me on traffic updates, and updates that your phone wouldn't receive and let me know when to go alternative routes - what no one mentioned was the cables to allow for traffic updates would cost an additional $100 or so. Very disappointing to learn after you spend hours updating maps on the GPS. If you are looking for a GPS that can take you from place to place this works great - but I wanted the GPS for the traffic updates. I don't want to spend $350 in total to get those updates when my phone works fairly decent and provides updates via Google maps. I will be returning this tonight to my BestBuy :/

    made my trip to San Francisco a peace of cake.

    I had to go to San Francisco and I don't drive in big Cities very often. This GPS made my trip very enjoyable. Traffic updates were great . The split screen showed exactly what the off ramp looks like with clear markings.The voice prompts provide guidance while you keep your eyes on the road . I used the voice command turn down volume find gas station .find parking worked very good. If you miss a turn it quickly recalculates and gets you corrected to where you are going.. I did practice before I went on my trip to make sure I could work it. It is easy to learn. Best buy also price matched my price off the internet. saved 50.00 .
