What's great about it: Big Screen
What's not so great: FREEZES UP FOR NO REASON
I bought this one 4 months ago and this unit was freezing from day one; no matter if it was plugged or not... I thought updates would help but nothing did.. Restarting it while driving is not fun. Not to mention missing your turn.. Garmin said they would replace it with refurbished unit? I bought brand new, why should I get refurbished one?? I would not buy this one again.

What's great about it: Screen size and easy to use.
What's not so great: Will not pair up with motorcycle helmet bluetooth
Finally had a chance to use after purchase before Christmas. It worked great and spot on routes. Located satelittes is fast and like how it is easy to use. Compared to the one in my mini-van with one runs circles around it. The only disappointment is it will not pair up with my motorcycle helmet. Should have done more research. I looked at the motorcycle versions but they are 3 times the cost and I wanted a 5" screen not 4.3."

What's great about it: Features! Intuitive! Speed! Durable! Clear Visuals! Free Maps & Traffic!
What's not so great: No complaints.
My first road trip with the 2460LMT was from Texas to Missouri. Loved the nuvi features. I found that the Australian female voice pronounces English words most clearly. Big 5 inch screen is a plus. The included windshield dash mount is durable and so easy to mount/dismount. My older TomTom Go 720 windshield mount was flimsy junk. Love the automatic split-screen view when approaching a merge/turn/veer/exit. Easy to follow the visual hot-pink highlighted road if voice commands ever unclear. Easy to find impulse-decision restaurants/gas stations/hotels etc along the travel path. Love the Gas Mileage tracking and Gasoline usage tracking. Love the time-to-destination and mileage-to-destination visuals. On major highways, traffic jam warning automatically pop-up, allowing bypass navigation. The unit powers on and off quickly, unlike my older Tom Tom unit. Garmin locates satellites much quicker than my TomTom Go 720. If you miss an exit, the garmin recalculates quickly. This garmin unit even warns you when approaching a traffic camera intersection. Sure is nice not to be forced into purchasing new maps every three months from TomTom. I researched like crazy before buying the 2460LMT. For the money, this unit gives you the most bang for your buck. No regrets.

I bought the Garmin nuvi 2460 to replace a Tom Tom that couldn't understand my voice commands. The Garmin worked almost flawlessly.I screwed up the port by inserting the card upside down. Garmin told me to take it to an electronics store to see if they could remove the broken card. When this didn't work. I e-mailed Garmin for their advice and received an immediate response to return it to them for repair or replacement. I mailed it to them on Monday and received the replacement the following Tuesday. This over the Christmas weekend. All of this with several e-mails from them keeping me up to date on the progress. Great service. Great product.

My wife and I had been borrowing our friends' smaller Garmin for several months. After doing our own research we decided that this was the best model for us. I use it all the time and don't go anywhere without it. It keeps me more focused on driving. It does everything I want and more.

I got both the Nuvi 2460 and the new Nuvi 2595. Kept the 2595 for the following reasons: Traffic adds came on more often and across the middle of screen than on the 2595, which are less intrusive and only come across the top of the screen. Also the Nuvi 2595 supposedly has newer chip and more memory. The 2460 is far from bad and was a great price of $200 including shipping from Best Buy, but the 2012 model of the Nuvi 2595 just seemed a better choice. If I could combine the features of both into one unit, that would be desirable.

What's great about it: Screen is easy to see and reacts to commands quickly.
What's not so great: See review
It does a good job and reacts quickly to inputs. I would like to see names of things as you pass them. You can see items like rivers, golf courses, military bases, etc. I would to see the name of things on the screen as well. Other GPSs have this feature.

What's great about it: voice command and speed limit
What's not so great: ac adapter not included. Full written manual not included.
Best purchase I have made in a long time. Voice command is great, however if you can't speak clearly or have an accent it probably won't work for you. I love the fact that it tells you what the speed limit is. I can't count how many times I've been on an unfamiliar road with no posted speed limit for miles. Thank you Garmin.

What's great about it: Features
What's not so great: Slow and inaccurate
First off all it takes a very long time to startup (approx 3 min).
Sometimes, it takes my very odd routes I decide to take the "right" way, it starts to recalculate, and then it is also very slow.
Also I did not pay $300 for ads. Always when I'm stopped longer than a few seconds ads pop up and it is a very uncomfortable interruption.
Locations on Garmin maps seem to be very poorly updated. The device has led me to restaurants that have relocated years ago.
When driving in cities with many streets that lie next to each other(on and off ramps in particular) , it always seems to think I'm on a different than I am on which leads to a very long "Calculating" period.
It serves it purpose getting me from A to B, though it may take me to C first but I feel the GPS device should perform better than a smartphone that is the same price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Bluetooth won't sinc with IPhone4
How many times have you asked yourself "what's the speed limit"? Just look at the Garmin screen. My problems so far is that sometimes it doesn't show the actual speed limit and you have to enter it manually.
A big problem is that it won't sinc Bluetooth with my IPhone4. Customer Service agrees that it does not have that capability.
I also have had a blank screen problem but that could have been my fault since it is new to me.

What's great about it: it's got a big screen
What's not so great: pop up ads, slow reaction times, pop up ads, irrelevant route info, oh,and pop up ads...
This unit replaced an old magellan unit for my vehicle and I use it at work all week. At work I used a smaller Garmin unit. I like the user interface and software on the older Magellan unit. I did first try a newer Magellan unit as I didnt like the Garmin at work all that much. The work Garmin and this one is slow on prompting for turns and freeway transitions are sketchy. The old Magellan would give much simpler directions that were to the point. They have now adopted it seems the same software Garmin now uses. This unit and the smaller Garmin babysit you through the whole route often telling you to stay on a freeway the whole way to the next real turn. ie: if there are 5 other freeways or major streets you will cross that are not part of your route it tells you to stay on course. that is annoying!! just tell me where to get on and where to turn next. A simple 4 or so turn route can be drawn out as long as 20+ steps i've seen.
Also a big gripe I have is that the "traffic" feature FORCES you to agree to pop ups on the screen that Garmin claims "pays for the traffic subscription". They don't have that revealed anywhere on the box. Upon calling them and talking to several people they said the only way to stop the ads is to turn off the traffic feature. that is pure BS!! The Magellan unit I returned didn't do that. For me the price does not reflect the supposed "features" that are advertised. I would not recommend this if you really want a traffic feature. Plus like I stated, it reacts to slow often making you miss turns and transitions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: very fast
What's not so great: too thick
This is my second garmin. The first was slimmer and better for pedestrian use. This replacement is thicker and heavier...so not great for small pockets. But it's got all the great features plus free maps for life. I especially like how it detours you around high traffic areas. Definitely works better than any car GPS - and I have those in my cars but never use them. The Garmin is easier and faster.

What's great about it: The speed limit notification. The size of the screen is good.
What's not so great: Traffic feature is useless, the bluetooth is hard to access, speakerphone is weak.
I am not that happy with it. We upgraded from a very out of date Garmin and expected a lot of updates and upgrades with this one. But really it is mostly a bunch of stuff you'll never use. The traffic feature is a joke. It only works in major cities and it doesn't seem to be aware of the traffic at all! The bluetooth handsfree feature is ridiculous in that you have to go through several screens to get to the bluetooth to turn it on. Try doing that while you are driving! You had better remember to always pair up your phone with it before you leave otherwise, you could get in an accident trying to find the bluetooth. When you are on a call, you can barely hear the other party even when the volume is turned all the way up. It took me 2 full days to update the maps when I got it and it still took us on a wild goose chase the first day we used it. I updated all the voices, and the vehicle pictures both of which were scant. The alternate route feature just keeps trying to make you do a U turn to get back to the road you just came off of. Come on Garmin!
