Garmin nüvi 2460LT review

There are lots of other features, including the ability to customise the home screen, specify areas and roads to avoid, a photo viewer, calculator and ‘Where am I?’ emergency locator. More importantly, there’s a TMC receiver for traffic information and Bluetooth for pairing a mobile phone for hands-free calling. There’s also ecoRoute which helps monitor your average fuel consumption and improve it through economical driving. A leaf symbol is shown in the navigation view and turns red when you accelerate or brake too hard; it turns green when you’re gentle with the pedals. However, this system works far better when paired with the ecoRoute HD attachment.

We liked the 2460LT a lot, but it lacks the live services of other models such as the more expensive nüLink! 1695 and similarly priced TomTom Via Live 120. Although those services are subscription based, it’s nice to have the option of real-time traffic information and Google Local Search. For this reason, the TomTom is the slightly better-value choice.
