Navigate By Touch or By Voice With its innovative voice-activated navigation, you can control the nüvi 2495LMT with your voice — allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel. Simply wake up the device with a customizable voice command and begin speaking menu options that are clearly displayed on the screen. When you’re stopped, you can still control the nüvi using its intuitive touchscreen interface. Garmin Guidance 2.0 allows you to easily look up addresses and services and be guided to your destination with voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names. It comes preloaded with maps for North America. It also comes preloaded with more than 8 million points of interest (POIs) and offers the ability to add your own.
Enjoy FREE Lifetime Map Updates With FREE lifetime map updates, you always have the most up-to-date maps, POIs and navigation information available at your fingertips. Map updates are available for download up to 4 times a year with no subscription or update fees and no expiration dates.
Avoid Traffic Tie-ups With FREE lifetime traffic updates from 3D Traffic, the most extensive traffic avoidance system, nüvi 2495LMT can help you avoid delays. We check traffic conditions more than 2 billion times each month, so you can easily reroute around congestion and arrive on time.
Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late Now there’s no more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Available in select metropolitan areas, photoReal junction view makes unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate. When you approach an exit or interchange, nüvi 2495LMT will enter split screen mode and show you a realistic depiction of junctions on your route, complete with road signs and arrows that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
Go Beyond Navigation Point-to-point navigation is just the beginning. Share information and Live Services between nüvi 2495LMT and your compatible Android phone with Garmin Smartphone Link. nüvi 2495LMT also features a microSD card slot so you can store and use detailed cityXplorer maps or download custom voices and vehicles for free from the Garmin Garage. Bluetooth connectivity lets you make and take hands-free calls while dual-orientation functionality lets you hold the nüvi vertically or horizontally for added convenience driving or walking. nüvi 2495LMT’s “Where Am I?” emergency locator provides your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and more, while Enhanced Exit Services tells you what services you’re approaching on the highway.

FireFox 2/2/2013 8:30:52 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: It got me through Pittsburgh, PA without any trouble, 'nuf said! Cons: None so far. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Robbo 12/23/2011 8:15:10 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 3/5Almost Ready for Prime Time Pros: Voice activation and recognition work well Cons: Three main cons are (1) the speakerphone speaker volume is way too low, so speakerphone is basically useless (important for those who travel and use the unit in a rental car); (2) the FM traffic banner ads are persistent and annoying; (3) the traffic feed is not the best available, but is a middle-level service (the higher level service is also problematic, due to signal problems); and the FM receiver cable resembles a boat anchor cable laid across your dashboard. Other Thoughts: I do not go anywhere without a traffic connected GPS. I have owned and used the top of the line from TomTom (Go 2535 Live, dependability issues) and Garmin (1690, 2495LMT, 3490LMT), and even the old Dash system GPS. The best unit in current production is probably the Garmin 1695, but it lacks voice recognition (my familiarity is based on my fav, the 1690) . The 2495 LMT is unusable because you cannot hear the speakerphone in your rental car, and because of the ubiquitous banner ads (add some volume and take away the ads and the 2495 wold be a good unit; the traffic feed is only a middle-level service, but at least you receive the signal). I am still giving the 2495 unit 3 eggs, because the voice recognition worked OK, and the traffic worked as promised, even though it's not the top of the line system. (Note that Garmin's next step up from the 2495, the 3490LMT, gets an even lower rating, because it gets very poor FM traffic reception, so its so-called HD traffic barely works at all.) 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
