Garmin nuvi 2455LMT 4.3" GPS Navigation System with Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates $107 + Free Expedited Shipping (expired)

seems like a good deal to me, a bit more features for a little more than the 50LM.

Great Find!

Thx

the 30/40/50 series is terrible... this model is a class above those. the 2595LMT refurb is at WM for $119 right now if you like the bigger screen, the 25 is 5" and the 24 is 4", the 95 has bluetooth and the 55 does not.

does anyone know what difference between this and the 50 is? i just got a 50 for the GF, i dunno if it's worth it and return it to buy this.

Nothing terrible about those, just lack a few features. Doesn't really warrant talking about "classes" for $100 Garmins. If the basic level were "terrible," this level would be "bad."

When will American GPS systems be able to compete with the ones in Korea? I know the size of the countries cannot be compared, but still.

For 100$, we bought a 9 inch screen one, that had live DMB TV, and played pretty much every video codec available. As well, had the location of every speed camera in the country and warned you to slow down when necessary, could tell you live lane by lane traffic information, it would also sync with the metro timings (to tell you which station should should drive too in order to catch the next train, or if there were ever delays) and a whole bunch more.

Different country, different needs.
1) DMB TV and video codecs: This is most likely an active decision made by GPS companies to omit visual entertainment on the GPS unit, given the litigious nature of the US. If anyone ever got into an accident, someone will sue the GPS company for providing TV on their unit.
2) Speed camera locations: Speeding cameras aren't used nearly as often in the US as in Asia. As a matter of fact, quite a few cities have started rolling back camera use due to it being challenged in courts, since those cameras don't encourage safe driving, only revenue for the government. There were also privacy concerns.
3) Traffic info: already available, but requires bigger coverage. Obviously, if you don't live in a bigger city, you probably don't have the infrastructure. http://www.laptopmag.com/advice/e...works.aspx
4) Metro times & schedules: Do you actually live in the US? In case you didn't notice, unless you live in a few of the bigger cities, not many people take public transportation. This is an infrastructure problem.

The way I see it, the 9" screen is about the only viable advantage the generic Korean brand has. Not to say I disagree about the lack of features, just that those features either cannot be implemented due to liability or infrastructure limits.

Is this any good for Europe (all of it)? I've been choosing between 1370, 2370LT and 2475LT. The former appears to have been out for longer and reviews are better. I don't need traffic. Maps are the most important factor for me.

Best Buy has this model for $109.99 and free shipping if you are concerned about this ebay merchant.
