Great Navi with free map subscription. Compatible with Apple Mac.

I was looking for a successor for my outdated Navigon. It must be updated via my Apple Mac, which hardware should be up to date, in short, I did not experience the same trouble again that I had with the old Navigon. That was probably already out of date when I bought it and soon nothing could be updated and it disappeared from the manufacturer's website. So I was looking for a modern Navi within an acceptable price range, as I did not use it so often. But if I need it once, it should be reliable (my old Navigon has repeatedly failed to hot spots / system crash, could no longer be on). So a brand manufacturers and Garmin from the United States has as a very good reputation as a pioneer.
The 2445 is from the Nüvi 2012 he Collection, a sufficiently large screen with very good use software, a highly recognizable display and blends easily very well with my Apple iMac. Map updates are in this way easily and, as a special highlight, there are in this LMT model years free updates (Lifetime Map Update). Because you can save a lot of money again and I did not need to worry about getting delivered pre-installed on a old map.
Operation is simple, what makes me happy as her mid-forties who now slowly fall behind technically. Even though it is only a mini Quick Start Guide at, but the owner's manual you can download and that's good.
Operation is via the clear menu pretty self-explanatory. The voice ("Steffi" is the lady) is very good to understand the Navi can also be adjusted according to beautiful. One can (be hidden, so that you find yourself along well unneeded characters) even choose whether it should be a car or pedestrian route guidance to the destination entry via a handy QWERTY keyboard. Super also feature parking search, the "Where am I?" Positioning and returning to a parked car. There are also many features that make navigating pleasant (my old Navigon was a luxury variant, so I was spoiled and quenched according to the lean comfort of various low-cost devices of some brands, which are apparently quite slimmed down), including the important for me lane guidance. I can only say that this Navi for me is just perfect and I am very pleased with the good purchase. Everything you need is already here (bracket for window - fits well, although my Vaneo has a distant slice - satellite receiving / charge cable in combination for the cigarette lighter). Restaurants / gas stations / Hospitals etc. are also quite easy to find. Very good I like how wonderful fast the Navi is ready to place the satellite (it took my old Navigon even a booster antenna because of my darkened windows), the route is calculated (od also in the state. At home at your desk). It's really comfortable and easy to use.
The MyGarmin website with the automatic update function works well. Phone support I've also contacted - 0180 no. costs 14 cent / min, but after 6 minutes of waiting they asked me to call back, which took place two hours later by a friendly lady. I am satisfied and top can recommend the Navi. By the way, for example, if this is the case: Garmin protective bag 10.9 cm (4.3 inches) for nüvi 13xx / 23xx / 24x5 / 34xx / 37xx
