Fast. Some glare.

I was replacing a previous Garmin GPS that still worked OK, but I wanted the new features in the 2589. I particularly like the "Up Ahead" feature that tells ALL upcoming restaurants, gas stations, etc. And the GPS itself is much faster than my previous one. The only criticism that I have is that the screen glares. Maybe if I put a non-glare covering on it, it would be better. But I don't want to take a chance in losing the pinch-to-zoom, swipe, etc. Overall I'm very pleased with the 2589LMT.

I was looking for a package deal of flash drives to create emergency drives for Windows. This package was cost effective for this. We'll worth the price.

Parental Guidance is a hoot! Maybe it's because I'm a grandfather and can identify with a lot that's going on. Haven't viewed "We bought a Zoo" yet, but if it's similar to Parental Guidance, it will be totally enjoyable.

Great movie to watch with kids. No concerns about language or other offensive aspects. And pretty enjoyable humor.

Very enjoyable video about a grumpy man with a surprise granddaughter. Diane Keaton is a loving neighbor with no children of her own. The ending is a little surprising - not what expected, but enjoyable.

We bought the mouse as a gift for someone whose mouse had died. Daughter plugged it in, and it immediately started working and tracks perfectly. Great product.

I am comparing 2589 vs. 2689. I know the screen size is different. The 2589 has a traffic antenna. What is that.

Part of the power cord receives traffic signals. If you put the wrong cord on it or unplug it to run on the battery, it doesn't receive traffic updates.

How come it does not seem to accept certain addresses as in 655 Watkins Mill, Gaithersburg, MD 20879 ?

That would be a good question for Garmin directly.

Programmable Route Waypoint markers

I am a courier and am having trouble finding the perfect GPS that will take me point to point in the most LOGICAL way possible.

I had a Garmin for a couple of months, and overall I was happy with the reliability, but I was Dissapointed in the mapping pins not being numbered on the map, making dragging hard to view on a route.

Previously I had a Magellan in which the points were numbered making easier to pull stops to where you wanted them to be based on the location it was very easy to know what you were moving where. Is there any Garmin that will display a flag number?
I've not tried to do what you ask. I HAVE put in waypoints, but I don't think that the GPS necessarily routes the fastest way. It DOES present the waypoints, numbered on the screen and asks if that's the order that you want. The few times I've done that (only one waypoint), the 2589 has suggested the fastest way. But I don't think the stops were numbered on the map.
