Love it. Few flaws I can live with

Garmin Widescreen Bluetooth Portable Navigator

I now own 4 Garmin GPS with this being the newest one. I will get right down to the point of interest as to why this GPS is one of the BEST out today. I bought this not too long ago and have been testing every aspect of the GPS. I will rectify the Free Lifetime Traffic first due to its mass complain about the pop ads. Will like they say nothing is free without string attached, I have used it on 2 hour destination on heavy traffic areas and the pop ads rarely pops up and it only pops up when completely stop arriving to your destination and when you first start the ignition and the Garmin boots to the main menu screen, all you have to do is click on view map or other buttons to get rid of the pop ups and most of the time the pop doesn't even pop on start ups. I think that it is a very small price to pay for lifetime traffic, Garmin would not be able to support free lifetime service without funding from ads. Duuhh! Really guys the ads are not intrusive at all and if you really don't like the ads you can turn off the free lifetime traffic in the menu and not get the ad and the traffic service. Done and done.

Now the good part; I have the 885T to compare it to and I had the 885t for 2 years now it makes that GPS look like a pile of pooh, I hated that GPS slow at everything no street display on upcoming street, and if there was it would pop up like 4 house down after you pass the street. With the 2460 all the upcoming street pop up a block away even on route to destination. That is a big plus to me.

The annoying recalculation is now gone when you make a wrong turn and it automatically reroute to your destination and with MyTrend feature the GPS over time will learn the route you take from what the GPS suggest. I did have problem with it at first, it would take me around the block to get to my house when you can just go straight but the GPS learns my route and that's fixed.

The Voice Command works great but not the best, on occasio n you have to repeat yourself a few times to get the command but it's no big deal. For some reason it has a hard time understanding the word "UP" in the menu command I don't know if it takes time to learn your speech pattern but it does not sway my 5 star down. It is still a great feature that I appreciate.

The ecoRoute is simply amazing, I love that feature because in the summer I visit lots of national parks on a road trips and the ecoRoute can calculate how much the cost of gas on the total trip base on your vehicle profile and current gas prices that you can update at the pump. It is also helpful on your driving habits and will give you an icon weather you're driving green or pedal to the metal.

LaneGuidance assistance has to be the best feature in GPS history this has a hug upgrade from the 885t which was the flagship back in its time. Lane assistance now shows a photo real of signs on the freeway with arrows to each lane which you can take on an upcoming turn and it is very accurate when it ups pop (not too far or too close to miss the sign) and closes when you pass the sign. Although not all Lane has assistance maybe it will be there on the next map update and yes this has a Lifetime Map Updates on this version and that is one of the reasons why I bought this GPS to server me it's very best until it breaks. This also has speed indicator, letting you know what the speed is on the current street you are driving and the best part for the 2460 version is that you can edit the speed limits as you drive by and if the GPS does not support the street sign yet, you can hit the + button on the screen where the speed limit should be to add manually on the fly.
Bluetooth connection just simply works but I wish you can pair an ear piece for better voice command against wind noise, can pretty much assess your phone book via voice command another feature will appreciated.
A lot of people's gripe about update taking way too long, well they are right but that should not the case to knock a few stars down because Garmin wants to improve your product, any device and software you buy now requires updates so review this product to what it can do for you and does it serve you will.
I think this investment was worth it, I finally have that feeling that this is a real GPS unlike that nuvi 885t that unit suck-out-loud!
