Garmin nüvi 2460LMT 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates
By Diane Erbland
We owned a Garmin Nuvi 760 for years and were very happy with the unit. Solid features and solid construction. Had no plans to upgrade till the unit was stolen from a rental car. I considered other makers but held coming back to Garmin. Reviewed their products, relative features, and written opinions, did my feature and cost comparings and settled on the 2460LMT. Why?
1. I wanted the more prominent 5" screen. When you are driving your attention must be on the road. Larger features are having little impact to read and understand. Even the divergence among a 4.3" and 5" unit is primary and helps when you are driving in an unfamiliar city.
2. The voice command feature allows you to operate the unit hands free. The voice acknowledgement performance of the unit is splendid and the menu structure is thoughtfully formulated. This is a great feature.
3. The routing/navigation feature-sets are the most current available since this is a new unit release. The automati zoom on the map is a nice addition. The lane aid feature that Garmin enforced is likewise very helpful when you are in heavy traffic in an unfamiliar city.
4. The construction of the unit seems solid. Having dropped my 760 onto the pavement on occassion I was very concerned with the vulnerability of the glass screens on the 3760 and 3790 units - an issue reported by a lot of users. If you are going to own a GPS (or cell phone) you are going to drop it, so having a lasting unit is important.
5. The Garmin touch screen has good sensitivity, good luminance and contrast, and fixed glare (a more prominent problem for capacitance type glass screens like the 3760 and 3790)
6. This unit has bluetooth for hands free calling - as did my 760. This is a nice feature that allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and attention on road - where they belong.
7. I chose the LMT potpourri because I travel oftentimes for work, and all over the country. The lifetime maps and traffic are a great deal equated to buying a unit and then paying for map updates and a travel subscription. Map updates do matter. If you are buying a GPS, buy one with the lifetime maps and save yourself a good deal of money.
8. My old unit had MSN direct for online traffic, weather and gas pricing and I had purchased the lifetime access. MSN Direct is ceasing operations on Jan 2012 and only two current production Garmin units have a comparable feature using a dissimilar service provider - called NuLink. If you buy the NuLink unit, after the initial year you have to pay an annual subscription fee to proceed your online access. I did not want that hassle and so picked the LMT for the lifetime traffic. As cited elsewhere, this comes with pop-up adds that appear when the vehicle is stopped. These are little banner ads that appear at the top 20% or so of the screen. They are far less intervening than I dire when I read the alarmist horror stories written in a lot of reviews. I expended last weekend visiting/driving in Chicago and my travel was not impeeded by these adds. The traffic alerts are without doubt or question staged and understandable - but note that they are fixed to major Metro areas. So you ought to look at the coverage area map link from the Garmin web website to assure your city is covered if this is important to you.
So to summarize, this is a well built and very functional unit that matched my needs and performs better than I'd hoped. Certainly 5 stars.
And my final thought. Be sure to register your GPS with your manufacturer and use the locking feature if available (e.g. Garmin-lock). This will prevent a thief from ever being competent to use your unit if it is stolen.

A unfeigned full featured GPS that works so well.
By P. Taylor
I loved my old Garmin Streetpilot 2720. It is old though and I wanted to upgrade to traffic and a battery. After when it comes to 2 years, and various GPS units later, including Garmin, TomTom and Megellan brands, all the units I tried drove me crazy with all having some of the features I wanted but none having all.
The Nuvi 2460LMT has gorgeous much ALL the features of the old Streetpilot plus more genuinely cool stuff, like voice activation. Now I don't even have to touch it to make it work! OK you will spend $300.00 but you will be happy I think. I expended $250 and was very disappointed with all the GPS units at that price point from 3 dissimilar manufacturers. I think the extra few bucks gives you such a big upgrade, you get so much more value at $300 than you get at $250.
Be aware, if you look online at the Garmin manual, it covers the 22xx, 23xx and 24xx series. I initially ordered the 2360LMT and was very disappointed, and returned it instantly. The features that I necessitated and wanted are NOT in the 22xx and 23xx series yet the manual does not tell you distinctively which are in and which are not in each series. Nether does the Garmin website provide sufficient detail.
What I like:
Voice operation works wonderfully.
Loud clear voice, Garmin excels here.
Wonderful screen, automati zooms with speed, the more immediate you go the more in front it shows.
Touch screen is excellent.
Very fast in everything it does.
Customizable main menu screen.
Advanced Avoidance feature - lets you refrain from a specific road or emplacement on a route.
Loads of utile features.
Lifetime maps and traffic.
Cons
Lots on menus that may see you searching for a feature you want to modify but once you get it set up you will be ok.
Traffic is free but uses ads to pay for the service. The ads are a little more spectacular than I would like to have seen but are done in such a way that they are not overly intrusive. They are not there when you are moving or using the menus, and well I'm not paying for the traffic service so I'm happy!
My recommendation is this - if you're a GPS junky, sales rep, professional driver, or like to speak to your GPS, spend the extra on the 2460LMT, it's a outstanding upgrade over the units a few bucks less.
I just ordered a second unit. My wife insisted on the upgrade after playing with my 2460LMT when we went out to dinner tonight.

Love it. Few flaws I may live with
By Jay Diamond
I have owned galore Garmin merchandise from the old Street Pilots to this 2460LMT. I comes in a nice sturdy body and t won't fall apart if you drop it. The customizable Main Menu is great. Up to 15 icons if you wish. I put the Voice Command there as I think it is one of the biggest intensities of this unit. Only in sure circumstances do you have to type except for peculiar addresses.
One of the tings I in truth like is the lack of the word "re-calculating" if you determine to go a dissimilar route. That applied to drive me nuts. Now the unit looks and quickly moves to modify the route. If you dislike the route you are taking, just press the "Detour" icon and it will re-route the entire trip. However, it may take you a way, you would not want to go, just out-of-the-way roads.
Voice Command works perfectly and is very helpful very quickly.. Best feature.
I will keep this unit and highly commend it.
