This Model 2460LMT Is Really nice. The best part about is the voice command. It feels like your driving in the future talking to the garmin & it giving you back info. I like having it blue toothed to my phone also. It displays my phone book, call history, missed calls.....etc. all from my phone on the garmin screen. The only thing I wish this had was 3 or 4G capability so it could access internet to help find info. Who knows there probably developing that now. Anyway,I definately like the garmin over other gps's due to it being more accurate & reliable. I started with a Model 200W 3 Years ago which, is working exellent still. The updating of these units is very easy online. Also they tell you not to leave them in the sun but, on the model 200W I have for 3 years & no problems. Plus I just updated that one to lifetime maps because, of it being so reliable. That pretty much made my decision for buying this new model 2460LMT. I figured if they last more than 3 years you might as well buy one that comes with lifetime maps.
Oh ya, I didn't mention about the traffic alert. It's pretty neat. I actually came to a situation where I was on a highway & it showed the traffic icon. it changed colors from green to orange & then it gave me a 30 mile warning & a possible reroute. I thought that was pretty cool. I acually waited till I was within 10 miles from the traffic jam to make a decision on rerouting & by that time the traffic lifted & it turned green.
So far I had this unit for 1 month & love it.
