Love the Hands Free
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is truly hands free with the voice command. You can have it look up places, addresses and much more by voice command which is much safer than what I used to do with my older Garmin. The screen is large and easy to read as well. I love that it shows the exits in real life when you get close too! This is my favorite purchase of 2015!

Garmin - nüvi 2689LMT 6"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this Garmin to replace our older Garmin model. This model comes with free lifetime map updates which is a big plus! The view on this larger screen sized model is great and it is very easy to set up and follow the map routes and/or to use just to search for various places such as food, gas, shopping, motels, etc. wherever you find yourself. We highly recommened this model.

Great Travel Assistant!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Garmin GPS device is a great asset in my line of work. I also got the life time real-time traffic and weather features that work great! The voice command feature works very well in plotting my trips or using the blue tooth feature to make and receive phone calls, hands free! The real-time traffic feature has saved me a number of times, giving me a bird's eye view of traffic jams occurring in multiple counties and rerouting me away from congested highways. The real-time weather feature, provides me with up to date weather conditions of either the local area I am currently in or of my destination, if I have plotted a trip. You can see a map of the region you are traveling in and where the color-coded clouds and storm intensity is, in relation to your location, so you can move away from the most intense areas of the storm! Great device and asset for road warriors, moms and business travelers.

Not Lost Any More
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the GPS about a month ago when I started as a pick-up and delivery driver for a local dental lab. I grew up in this area and thought I knew my way around pretty well. After getting lost two or three times the first day, I knew I had to do something and do it fast. I went to the local Best Buy and had great customer service. The salesperson walked me through the features of several units. I decided on the one I wanted to buy and he provided additional details about it. It still amazes me that I can say a few words providing the address as a voice command and the computer voice will direct me right to the destination. I even started to use it for places that I knew how to get to and found that the GPS knew some short cuts of which I was unaware

Excellent GPS for medium sized RV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't need the features of an RV specific unit as my RV is only 28' long and not overly tall. The 6' screen is easy to see and work within a medium sized RV. Voice command is also very helpful in traffic as you can keep both hands on the steering wheel. This is my fourth Garmin unit.. very satisfied!

Fantastic unit - does everything I need
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NH's hands-free law went into effect and I needed not only a way to flawlessly navigate to show homes, but a way to take/make phone calls while on the road when driving my older vehicle. This unit is easy to use and has a great size screen with fantastic clarity; the best part is online access to updates and little things to tweak and personalize your GPS.

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Garmin. The first one died after a number of years. The new one is big enough to view without taking my eyes off the road. It also gives street names and tells you to get in the correct lane before a turn. It has bluetooth capability but I have not tried that yet.

Another great GPS from Garmin.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this GPS after having our old Garmin for about 4-5 years prior and it started acting up. We did some research and saw this at our local Best Buy and noticed it had a nice touch screen and great size compared to our old one. Since purchasing it, I really enjoy the bigger screen and fast response and recalculating time. The touch screen is much more sensitive than previous version that used capacitive screens. My only small complaints is that since it is a shiny screen, glare can be an issue if angled in certain ways and it does get dusty and dirty with fingerprints pretty quickly and easily. Also the microphone for the bluetooth phone setup is very sensitive so it actually picks up the vibrations of my car that the person I am speaking to hears. Not huge faults in my eyes but something to keep in mind if you are searching for a new GPS. Overall I am and have always been pleased with Garmin GPS's and consider them better than some other brands.

Loved my first GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my first time to drive alone 2200 miles in unknown territory. For a 70-year old's first experience with a GPS, it went great. I couldn't have done the drive w/o this terrific Garmin product. Only one bad experience with my first leg b/c I forgot I had set only the city as my destination, not an address, since I was continuing on to the next city. Wasted 30 minutes getting back on track. The Garmin nuvi is easy to learn and made a wonderful companion on the road. Loved the feature that told me speed limit at all times, and found it to be accurate except in construction zones. The whole 10-day experience with this GPS unit makes me want to take another trip soon!

great GPS unit. only one flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best GPS unit I have had and I have owned a number of them. The Voice Command actually works and the big screen is wonderful. Voice directions work well and the software is really sophisticated. ("Turn left in front of the big white building with the clock tower") You also want to get the smartphone app that links the the two. Greatly increased the functionality and the bluetooth speakerphone on this unit is better than the one built into my car. The only issue is that the screen is VERY reflective. In daylight it's like a mirror reflecting your face, shirt or car interior making the screen unviewable. Also a fingerprint magnet making it even worse. Fortunately this is easy solved by buying a fingerprint resistant/anti-glare screen protector for a tablet and cutting it to fit the GPS screen. A "big phone" protector should work as well but found the tablet ones were cheaper on sale at Best Buy. I noticed that they don't highlight "anti-glare" on the package as much as they do "no fingerprint" but it's the same thing. WITH the screen protector the unit is perfectly visable in all light. So would only recommend this GPS if you add the screen protector.

Great GPS for Travelers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a heavy user of the GPS and it works great! The voice command function works excellent and allows for easy navigation on-the-fly. The Bluetooth speaker phone needs some improvement but I have a dedicated system for that. I would highly recommend this unit.

No problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was replacing my old Garmin since it would no longer charge. This Garmin is typical of the Garmin family and I've had no issues. Only thing that surprised me is the size. I ordered online without seeing it first thinking one inch larger wouldn't really be noticeable. The screen is quite huge but not I'm used to it and it's great!

Best GPS ever!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this new Garmin! I had an older one but this one is so superior in every way. The size makes glancing at it stress free - and it doesn't detract or obscure as I was afraid it might. It has so many useful features! Can't go wrong with this one!

A GPS that is so easy to use!!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been awhile having to use a GPS and to program one. This one was just so easy to use. On the road , I never once had to guess which turn off I needed. The screen would split and show you exactly which road I should take. Thank you so much...

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an upgrade for me after years of having another Garmin that started to freeze up on me. This one is amazing and very easy to use. The one little negative was the amount of time it took to get all the updates as I expected it to come with all the updates but that wasn't the case, perhaps due to so many changes since the package was delivered to the store but it took me hours. The way this GPS works helped me to forget that long time for the updates but I handled it during the time that I was working on my computer and watching TV since it only requires to click on some spots and then it updates.

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GPS is just awesome . It works great my husband just loves the voice activated part ,And the fact that it has lifetime map and traffic updates makes it well worth the money.
