Garmin Nuvi 2445 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Western Europe Maps Reviews
| 39 of 43 people found the following review helpful  Poor route selection, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 2445 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Western Europe Maps (Electronics) I bought the Garmin this year to replace an ancient sat nav from a rival manufacturer.I had no complaints about its route selection. If left to its own devices the Garmin will favour suburbs and inner city roads, in spite of the fact that I have chosen the Faster Time option. The routes plotted by the Garmin nearly always deliver longer journey times than can be obtained by using its trip planner. Using the trip planner requires great care when selecting waypoints on roads with dual carriageways. The Garmin will often choose a more tortuous route than is necessary which results in increased journey time. The destination selection is a wrestling match in all but the most simple of cases, a request for an address as a target destination, for instance, will elicit cities in the USA as well as those in the UK.I have a version with UK and western European maps !

Some fairly recent local changes have not been included, although, in fairness none are on major roads. This model disagrees with my last model as to to quickest route from home to the main road network but soon resigns itself to my desires. The much advertised pictures of road junctions have not yet materialised but I have not yet tried a long journey on main roads.The box no longer includes a plastic disc to fix to the dashboard so that the bracket has to be fixed to the windscreen with the rubber sucker - not the best place on a hot summer day but still, apparently, the usual practice. Nevertheless, all in all, a satisfactory purchase as expected from Amazon., 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful So far so good, By Sums (UK) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 2445 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Western Europe Maps (Electronics) My first sat nav and so far so good. However on Thames Pageant Sunday it managed to take me a weird route from South of the Thames round Hyde Park, North of Oxford Street and down Whitehall before suggesting I cross the Thames again to get to my destination which was South of the river. Still we have seen areas of the country we did not expect to see and still arrive at our chosen destination. |
