    4.0 out of 5 stars Garmin 2445, 15 Jun 2012

    This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 2445 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Western Europe Maps (Electronics)
    Compares well with earlier Nuvi models with straight forward setup and updating, although the update is not exactly state of the art. 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.,

    1.0 out of 5 stars Poor route selection, 5 Jun 2012

    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 !

    All of the routes that I currently travel using the Garmin are those... Read more

    A bit disappointed to be honest. I added the free update when I received it, but it has proved to be out of date already. The map view does not seem accurate to the actual road layout sometimes. The voice whilst clear has some extremely strange and irritating ways of pronouncing some of the road/place names (e.g. St. Albans). Not easy to select alternative routes and the time calculation is way out when it takes you through big cities/towns. Other than that, it gets you there, but I always feel I need a map and a bit of knowledge of the area as well as relying on the device.
