"where am i" feature: does this particular model have the "where am i " feature that lists the nearest intersection of your location and nearest gas station / hospital, which I know the higher end Garmin's have?

It might. The older 250 models do not (although you can touch the car icon to get your present location in coordinates). The last production run of the 2x0 series made changes to the interface that makes them like the newer 2x5 series. Touching the car icon "should" give you the info you seek on these models (I'm not 100 percent certain because I do not own this model).

That seems to be some basic stuff they've taken away. I emailed Garmin as well as Amazon to see if I can get someone to say they are wrong, or maybe amazon can fix their description. A lot of money to spend if it is false. After reading reviews, some say they have the features, and some say they don't. Maybe they are more "previews" than "reviews." I was in particular looking forward to the garmin locate feature, as well as the routing features. I also like the new size of the 1300 series. Thank you for posting this info, I hope to find some answers from Amazon or Garmin.

Sorry Larry, that is well above my level of GPS knowledge. All I can say is that I hate this GPS. Even when I update the maps it often doesn't have things that have been around for quite awhile and aren't obscure places. One thing it doesn't have which I really miss is to filter for a particular type of restaurant (Thai, Mexican, eg.). It will only show all restaurants in a two mile radius of where you are. I wish I'd stayed with Garmin despite its own pitfalls.

That I don't really know. I was considering the Rand McNally but wanted to stay with Garmin

Yes. The screen is customizable to show up to four different categories of data, or you can scroll through data that shows direction, either lat long or MGRS, total distance down to the tenths of a mile or KM, waypoints, home base, elevation, and distance to a waypoint, speed, as well as other datapoints. Best GPS for hiking and such if you don't have the few hundred $'s for touch screen models. Really quick satellite capture, works well in every situation I have been in while hiking around the mountains and valleys and thick forests of the Colorado Rockies. I've never had an issue with sat capture, or loss of signal to show me where I am in the world. Recently used in Germany and Poland without an issue.

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)

Not sure of your question but suggest you search the web for the 2595 LMT. Point-to-point navigation is just the beginning. Share information and Live Services between nvi 2595LMT and your compatible Android phone with Smartphone Link. nvi 2595LMT also features a microSD card slot so you can download custom voices and vehicles for free from the Garmin Garage. Bluetooth connectivity lets you make and take hands-free calls, while dual-orientation functionality lets you hold the nvi vertically or horizontally for added convenience driving or walking. The "Where Am I?" emergency locator provides your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and more, while Enhanced Exit Services tells you what services you're approaching on the highway. Hope this helps.

I recently purchased the Garmin 885 T . I was dissapointed I could not switch to miles to destination on main screen from arrival timeGarmin did make it very easy to find destination distance --simply say TRIP COMPUTER and screen changes to dashboard view and distance to my destination is there.Say back and I am on main screen againVoice recognition on this unit is so good, I can easily accept what could be considered an inconvenience.SincerelyRichard

It is a continuously-updated feature, but not 100% accurate. The updates rely on what has been reported by state/county DOT sources, which are not 100% accurate. Therefore, sometimes you will find traffic jams from accidents, which may not be reported, or delay notifications on the Garmin which are not actually there (no construction on Sundays, for example). Needless to say, this is a newer technology that compliments your own common sense about traffic conditions.

No, and the actual amount of info shown is very minimal compared to competition. Even after the latest map update, serious map errors and POI list is nearly worthless. Buy anything else, it can't be a lower quality product. Large screen is only useful feature. Just completed an 8500 mile trip around the county with this frustrating device!

I believe that if you touch the displayed name of the next destination at the top of the screen, the entire route remaining will show up on the screen that opens. The first item listed is the remaining distance and time to it. If I'm right, touch each item along the route to get a look at the configuration of that intersection. The remaining route may display on several succeeding screens, depending on the length of the route. I have the Garmin 2455LMT.

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

Yep, I just replied to your latest comment on your review. Although I find the lack of detailed street names annoying if not ridiculous, I'm not quite to the point to where I would abandon Garmin all together. Quite a few of their units, like my much older Quest, do show street names. By the way, if you want to check out an excellent site for downloading POIs, icons, sounds, etc go to: http://www.poi-factory.com

Yes, it has GPS function built in. In fact when I hit the GPS switch in my garage before starting it asks me if it is indoors? Don't know why or what the difference is. Perhaps the power of the transmitted signal or the sensitivity of the receiver. Works great and mileage is very close to the mileage on my cycle computer. I'm a bicycle rider.

I do not know if the Garmin has a feature that provides elevations. I purchased this for my son and he had no problems with finding the various locations. The Garmin would only be able to give the information from a database that works in conjunction with the program that comes with the GPS. Hope that helps.

How can you find out if it is a LMT (Lifetime Map + Traffic) or non-LMT?I purchased a re-furbished Garmin and could not use the Lifetime Update feature!When I tried to update, a message appears on my PC: "This device does not have a lifetime subscription tied to it.Please purchase a subscription from garmin.com or contact garmin support."I am returning the device to hopefully obtain a correct one.
