What customers say about "Key Specs"
Garmin nüvi 2595LMT Portable Bluetooth GPS Navigator
  • Fast shipping, works great, nice screen.
  • I was SO looking forward to using this GPS unit with its large screen, lane assist, POIs and especially the voice recognition.
  • The screen is much more responsive, the unit connects faster to the satellites, and it is much easier to find alternate routes.
  • We have had good luck with this Garmin GPS. The landscape or portrait option for the screen is one of my favorites. Works well with my motorcycle and the car.
  • Even though it is a 5" screen, the image of the map is small and not as colorful as the last Garmin I had. Tried all of the adjustments, but nothing helped. However the other features are very good.
Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Bluetooth Portable Vehicle GPS
  • The display is easy to read, and the posted speed limit is always a great reminder tool to not get a ticket.
  • This GPS is easy to use & the display is more helpful then my other TOMTOM. I also really like the Bluetooth function.
  • Upgraded from a Nuvi 550. Wow. Things have changed. Bigger screen, clearer graphics, incredibly detailed voice navigation
  • The touch screen is much more sensitive making it far easier to operate as well as the Voice Command function making it even easier.
  • Very easy to use, the 5 inch screen are awesome gives you variety of advance features likes warning signs for traffic, road construction, speed, time of arrival,and distance for your next turn.
  • The problem for me is the LCD screen. It has poor contrast which makes difficult to see details. I tried to adjust the display, but there is only auto, day or night setting and were no help.

What customers say about "Features"
Garmin nüvi 2595LMT Portable Bluetooth GPS Navigator
  • There are some good features about it, like the ability to use it as a hands-free speaker phone.
  • This unit filled the need of some international travel and upgrades from our previous model. The price was right as well. The bluetooth features are a plus along with the additional features including lifetime maps. The traffic feature works better as well.
  • Love it! Especially the feature that lets you know there's traffic congestion ahead.
  • Love it! I bought it to replace my old Garmin Nuvi that has become unreliable after all of these years of faithful service. This one ls a bit larger and has more memory. I have already used it on a couple of short trips and it works perfectly.
  • The bluetooth feature that allows you to take calls from your phone is an absolute joke. The volume is barely audible and with the sound turned all the way up. I
  • I purchased the Garmin nuvi 2595LMT and was very disappointed. This Garmin was supposed to be a refurbished gps but I think when they erased the original information on the GPS they did not reset the gps therefore, it was unable to receive my location and allow me to enter my location or any address
Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Bluetooth Portable Vehicle GPS
  • I like the Traffic feature with has come in handy several times. I also like the Bluetooth, which works well with my smartphone. I can input my location info in the smartphone app and transfer it to the GPS when I get in the car.
  • All the features I need. Voice is loud and clear. Turn direction notifications are given in time to adjust to correct lane.
  • Works with phone via Bluetooth as outstanding remote console and speakerphone. Delivers traffic so much better than the 550 - tells when and where you will hit traffic and how bad it is.
  • This item showed up at time , I like the size of the screen is big u can see the every thing better, I like the bluetooth cause I can connect my cell phone and speak with free hands also is ez to program any plase you want to go.
  • I like the phone bluetooth feature. Hands free when on the phone. Lifetime maps and traffic. It shows on a small map on the right side of the screen about traffic delays and when on a major highway the ramp shows up.
