Garmin Nuvi 2460LT 5" Sat Nav with Full Europe Maps (44 Countries) and Lifetime Traffic Subscription Product Description:
Product Description
The 5-inch nüvi 2460LT is preloaded with mapping for all of Europe (44 countries), has premium traffic avoidance for the lifetime of the unit and advanced navigation features including automatic speech recognition, PhotoReal™ junction view and nüRoute technology predictive routing.
It’s so easy to operate, not only does it tell you where to turn but it responds to your spoken menu or navigation commands. With innovative speech recognition, you can control this nüvi with your voice while keeping both hands on the wheel. Simply wake up the sat nav with your customisable voice command, then speak the menu option you require from the options clearly displayed on the screen. Tell nüvi "Find Address" and say where you're going to start navigating.
Premium lifetime traffic avoidance alerts you to traffic delays and roadworks on your planned journey and finds a route around. nüvi’s multi-point route planner automatically sorts multiple destinations into the most efficient route. Text-to-speech speaks upcoming street names on your journey for extra route awareness, letting you keep your eyes on the road, not on the sat nav.
Lane Assist shows the correct lane choice for upcoming junctions and motorway exits – so there’s no need to panic, hesitate or make last-minute lane changes, even on unfamiliar routes. PhotoReal™ junction view adds accurate landscape detail and road signs for upcoming exits and junctions for exceptional clarity of detail down to the exact trees and pylons!
nüRoute myTrends learns your driving habits and recognises your favourite destinations to predict where you're going - saving time otherwise spent activating your route. With trafficTrends, nüvi 2460LT automatically learns traffic flow trends reported by other drivers to improve your routes and better estimate your time of arrival based on time of day and day of week. So whether you’re driving to and from work or a regular weekly event, nüvi 2460LT will help you get there on time.
With built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, microphone and speaker, nüvi 2460LT can sync with your mobile phone for safer hands-free calling. Access your call log and phone directory via the sat nav screen and answer incoming calls with a tap of your finger. The integrated unique Cyclops™ safety camera warning system gives real-time, direction-relevant and accurate alerts with overspeed warning as you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile, variable limit and temporary safety cameras. nüvi 2460LT also contains speed limits for all major routes and you can manually correct and update road speeds and share any changes with other users via USB.
Multi-route preview shows available routes on the map for visual comparison before selecting your preferred journey and the ecoRoute™ fuel-saver feature helps you save money and fuel and reduce your carbon footprint with the option to follow the ‘less fuel’ route to your destination. ecoRoute also helps you to develop more efficient driving habits, calculates trip cost and enables accurate expense reporting.
Experience complete door-to-door navigation with nüvi 2460LT’s pedestrian navigation. Purchase optional cityXplorer mapping to include directions for places you wouldn't be accessing while in your car, including footpaths and shortcuts through parks. It also tells you where to catch trains, buses and tubes (dependent on the city) and how long it will take you to reach your destination. cityXplorer even contains public transport timetables so ensure you arrive at the station on time and avoid long waits and delays (dependent on the city). When continuing the journey on foot, nüvi 2460LT uses Park Position Recall to automatically mark and help you navigate back to the place you park – ideal when leaving your vehicle on an unfamiliar road or busy retail complex.
The Where am I? emergency locator is a helpful safety feature if you break down or need a local service urgently. Simply tap the car icon on the map screen to view your exact coordinates, nearest address and junction and get contact details for vehicle recovery services and directions to hospitals, police and petrol stations nearby.
Please note: The In car charging cable fits into the active car mount, not the GPS unit.

Does the job
By Mr. A. G. Orwell
I replaced a 3 year old TomTom One with this Garmin 2460LT. The TomTom was okay for a basic satnav, but the maps were getting old and TomTom wanted the cost of a new device to upgrade them.The Garmin 2460 locks onto satellites fast and maintains a strong signal. The 5" screen makes it easy to see and the onscreen maps are very responsive. With the TomTom it took an age to lock on to satellites and maps took too long to update, casing the odd wrong turn whilst navigating in built up areas.Hands-free calling works well with iPhones, but I found the voice instantiated navigation to be very hit and miss. The cradle is really well designed, making it easy to just insert the device and go.As a tip for those who want lifetime map updates it is cheaper to buy the 2460LT + seperate lifetime maps than it is to buy the 2460LMT with the maps included. Just search Amazon for "lifetime maps".

Having read the previous reviews and comparing them to the 3790LT, I plumped for this one. You do not get the higher resolution screen or landscape/portrait option, but you do get more detour options, and a bigger screen.The routing seems pretty good and I'm getting used to the menu (having used Tomtom for years).I had a problem with the first one ordered from Amazon - a line of dead pixels; the service I received from Amazon was truly first class, I received a replacement within 18hrs - how about that for customer service!!!Before I bought this I researched on the web and must of covered about 15 or so reviews - this one came out top of my list, a little over budget but I think that the benefits are worth it.If I lost this one I would buy the same again.

By grumpyoldman
Having read many reviews of various sat-navs available I finally opted for the Nuvi 2460 LT.The map downloading took several hours and I would recommend buyers leave this for a night time task.The screen is not over-sensitive which means large fingers don't accidentally activate the wrong icon.The large screen and voice are both clear and I did appreciate not being told every 10 miles which motorway junction I needed to turnoff, something my daughter's sat-nav does.I think I have yet to make use of the intelligent traffic option but it was one of the reasons I bought this sat-nav.I would recommend the purchase of the friction pad mount which is available for this model.
