Garmin Nuvi 2689LMT North America (Electronics)

Screen is very reflective. I have two older units, one still working very well but limited to the SE. The older unit can be seen at any angle. I bought this unit to use on vacation in the SW. It was very helpful but it was hard to see especially in daylight. This unit acts like a mirror when viewed straight on. I have to tilt it quite a bit to avoid seeing a reflection of myself. If it weren't for this one problem, I could give a much higher rating, but this problem is really important. This unit covers most of the country and gives voice directions which my wife says make more sense and easier to use, but the reflection and need to tilt is very annoying: around home I may use my older unit. I may return this unit if I can't find a way to decrease the glare and reflection. I will investigate antiglare protective covers. Any suggestions? I will take some photos and edit this review later to show the reflection on the screen. I can't believe this passed product development testing. amznJQ.onReady('jQuery', function() { amznJQ.available('popover', function() { var widgetDom = jQuery("#R3E15MPV2V9XLR_imageSection_5BC4F98E-D653-11E5-82AB-CEBFBA7E78F3"); var images = widgetDom.find(".review-image-thumbnail"); for (var c=0;c

Had the Garmin 3790LMT, which was a 4.3 inch unit , was the slimmest PND (at 3/16 inch) and Top-Of-The-Line back in 2011. This Unit has been thru frigid weather in Alaska, humid and desertic Mexico, as well the East Coast, West Coast and never failed. One of the gripes of this unit, was that after a complete shutdown, it would take about 2 minutes to find the satellite. The other gripe was Traffic Function was seriously impaired unless you had a 2.5mm Antenna Extension Cable hooked to the traffic receiver. Overall a 3.5 Star Product.The first thing that caught my attention after migrating, when I plugged the 2599LMTHD to my computer and ran Garmin Express to update the maps, I noticed that GPS arrived with the Internal Memory at 1.8GB free and 75% full. After updating to the latest map and other recommended updates, the unit ended with 1.7GB free and 77% full.The old unit, after 3 loyal years of service was almost full as well, but I eliminated all the...Read more

I drive for a living and have used this daily for a few months now. I purchased this gps because of the touch screen and screen resolution. When you compare this to the old style matte screens, it really is much better. The only negative is that there is a glare sometimes, but it does not bother me as I used to use my smartphone for gps. I would say the screen is almost as nice as a smart phone, just not as responsive. The 6" is really a sweet spot for the size of a gps unit. The interface is really easy to use. The voice address input works well half of the time. It it's an easy street name then I use the voice activation. If the street has a hard pronunciation or the address has more than 4 numbers, I don't even bother anymore, I just input in manually. The biggest problem I have with it is that half of the time it does not take me on the fastest route. I will be on a route that I know already is faster, but the nav wants me to take another route that is slower. It will tell me...Read more
