I use the Garmin nüvi 2495 LMT already navigation device (10.9 cm (4.3 inch) display, 3D Traffic, total Europe, Lifetime Map Update, Bluetooth, voice control). Thus, the ball head holder and the charger cable to fit my Corsa.
The startup was simple. Only specify country, then specify the dimensions of the car / bus / trailer or truck. Even the device is ready. The latest cards (the whole of Europe 1/2014) are already installed. This I already use a Garmin Navi I find the service very easily.
For route guidance via TMC Pro (via FM or DAB +) I can not say anything yet. I'm so far down any highway.
Schön is the power supply via mounting plate. The cable is then stuck and only the Navi is taken what I also rate at this high-order device. Unfortunately a sort theft lock is missing (pin input or the like).
In my Garmin Nuvi 2495 I can not use it as a speakerphone the Navi. Even after a software update the language of the caller while driving is much too quiet. When Garmin camper agrees the volume finally, just a little scratchy it sounds.
Navigation is used well. As vehicle height I 4m specified and the Navi steers me through the lower railway underpasses. It can not be the only one known in the height of 10,000 inhabitants town Rudesheim am Rhein six navigable underpasses.
These will guide me on a level crossing for pedestrians only the Navi. So stupid is not even my other Garmin Navi.
Similarly, the speed warning feature, as with my Garmin nüvi 2495, a joke. Too fast Even a kilometer, annoying. Since no adjustments can be made on the best off the same.
Now we come to give a preliminary indication of the speed limits.
It makes sense to know that if I go into a city, only 30 kph applies in 250 m.
But I pointed out that applies outside Tempo 100 is complete bullshit.
At any speed change is unnecessarily drawn.
For downhill and narrow streets, I find the Hinweisse but just right.
I can edit sub RV profile switch off the annoying sounds and advertisements.
For Kurierfahrer this Garmin device is not suitable. Each interruption of the drive, a warning clue must (also in RV mode
They are always to be confirmed responsible for safe driving, taking into account height, length, weight and other factors / limitations). That makes it the first few times and then adjusts annoyed by motor home on the Auto mode and then notes that even a warning clue has to be confirmed.
This Garmin Live Services (data connection via mobile phone) are up to the standard weather all costs. So then shows the current temperature on the top line and during severe weather to be then warned in Navi.
The voice control is awesome, just say street, house number and place and already recognizes the Navi the correct address. This has always worked for me in the first attempt. The annoying addresses has type one end.
I loaded my Garmin Express software from the manufacturer's site. After a brief registration I could do a software update.
My Maps Europe 2014.20 but were already outdated. Stand Today is 2014.30.
Before the update of the complete card a SD Micro memory card with 4 GB minimum size should be insert. Otherwise you can not download the update of more than 3 GB. After the update, 3.2 GB of internal memory is free again. So it must not always remain plugged in an SD card.
Who no Internetflatrate or fast internet connection but also has the ability to load and part card at any time to reload. Then also sufficient internal memory.
CONCLUSION:
In Auto mode, a great device
Ingenious Voice Control
Functioning speakerphone
Lifetime maps and TMC pro
and I would be motorist I would, 760 LMT five stars awarded despite the warning clue orgy for the Garmin camper.
However, this is a premium device for campers and trucks. Here it is the erroneous and inadequate maps
Why are there only two stars. I leave the main road and have the Navi knows no longer sufficient? Solder a 40 tonne truck
on level crossings for pedestrians and by 2.30m high underpasses.
ADDENDUM: Garmin has reported fast with me. The cards come from Navteq and are probably incomplete before. I should please report to the Garmin website mistakes. The error in my area, I have now reported and I'm really curious if they will be adjusted at the next map update.
