Review: Very Big Improvement - This unit replaced my 4 year old Garmin Nuvi 1450. I depend on GPS frequently as I am traveling in the U.S. all the time. For a long time I had been frustrated with the screen in the 1450 and knew that when I replaced it I wanted something with a screen that responded more like my smartphone, fluidly. I narrowed my search to 5 of the units that Garmin had which came closest to that goal and bought the 2539LMT which was the best price point and offered the features I was looking for. We have been very happy and impressed with the improvements Garmin has brought to this unit. Pinch to zoom works well and the screen responds well to finger movements. Real directions is a great tool. In our old unit junction view only displayed when you were almost a mile from your exit then disappeared before reaching the exit. This resulted in our getting off on a wrong exit in Cleveland due to exits being very close together and then having to drive for miles to get to another on ramp. The split screen junction view helps eliminate that issue. Real directions is something I have wanted for a long time. It helps get you in the correct turn lane when you have more than one choice. It is also more specific regards landmarks and street names. Direct access is something we haven't used yet so don't know how well that will work. The menu on the map screen is a big improvement which allows you to make some changes without having to leave the map screen. Love the "where to" screen now since you can add shortcuts for your favorite searches. For example, we like to stop at Subway restaurants for lunch and I added that search to the where to screen and now just have to tap once for that search wherever we are. This unit calculates so much faster than the old unit. Make a wrong turn and it has recalculated instantly. We are still learning our way with this GPS but are very happy with it. Only two negatives. One is that there are no male voices that you can use with Real Directions, for that matter, no english male voices at all. The other is the glass screen which depending on the angle of the sun and placement of the device gives you some glare. So far we haven't found it to be a major problem but I can see where it could be. I assume you could get an anti-glare screen protector to fix that. That said, the glass screen is what allows for the better touch screen experience so I don't know what the solution would be.
Review: A realy nice update for my old unit - I replaced an old (like 10 years old) Tom Tom with this Garmin 2539LMT. I expected a world of difference what with new technology and all but this unit is really amazing. It takes a bit to learn it for this old senior but boy is it sharp. Even alerts me for school zones well in advance. Like that the speed indicator glows red if I am above the speed limit (amazing how it keeps track of speed limits all by itself!) Easy to use points of interest that takes me right to the door. Recommend an LMT model like this for the free map and traffic updates for life. Screen is easy to read. I mounted it on the windshield in the low center position and it does not block view. I am getting used to the touch screen which the old Tom Tom did not have. The unit snaps on and off the windshield mount easily but mounts solidly and does not vibrate. I'm still learning all the various functions and may change it to a male voice as I hear male voices easier (wear hearing aids). A nice unit that gives clear, ample instructions well ahead of time and gets me to where I want to go. Did a lot of research before buying this unit and I am well pleased with it. Recommend it to others.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It says Lifetime Maps, does that mean they are available for a cost, or for free? Is it tricky wording to make you think its free updates but its not?**
A: I have one as does my husband. There is no charge for the maps update. Some people say that they can't get it to upgrade, but we have had no problems as long as you upgrade every few months. We do ours about every three months or when we have a trip planned.

**Q: Does it speak street names?**
A: It does in an English speaking setting.  When we set it on a Spanish voice, it didn't give the street names, only the turns.

**Q: Does the 2539 show upcoming exits with food and gas info?**
A: Yes  Can be accessed from the map screen

**Q: Does this model have custom avoidences?**
A: Yes it does

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and understand. Works great.
*by D***1 on June 23, 2015*

Very sharp bright screen. I wish it was anti-glare in that is some instances you see reflections in it but the screen is still readable in those instances. The voice has inflections that help in following the verbal instructions. Amazingly, it knows where stop signs, lights, bridges etc are uses them as additional instructions that really help (i.e. Turn right at the stop sign). You still get the actual road info, but then the additional verbal. If it has to recalculate it states in on the screen but does not annoy you verbally. When coming to an exit it splits the screen so you can see the main road on the left and exit road/lane info on the right. It will also gives you traffic delay info on the right when needed. The on/off button is large and in the rear. Pressing it once turns it on, or puts it into sleep mode. Holding until you get a prompt is how you actually shut it off. I bought the optional dashboard weighted mount instead of putting in on the windshield as that it cannot fall off and you won't get a ticket in some areas which have laws on sticking stuff on windshields. I bought this model in particular not to get the Bluetooth for the phone because I already had that in the car. Updates are VERY easy with their downloadable software (it did need an update when I got it). Garmin KNOWS it has free lifetime updates so even without registering it can be updated, all you have to do is add the device within the program. I took off one star for not having an anti-glare screen. This is my 4th Garmin GPS over the years, all are still working great, though each one is better the previous one. PS- Be smart and buy models that come with lifetime map and traffic (like this one), it is cheaper that way in the long run and you really need the updates. This GPS's directions with the current maps is WAY better than google so far in my tests. The manual you download. Although it is pretty obvious how to use it, I suggest reading the manual, for instance that is how I realized how to actually power it off with the power button (when used in car it automatically counts down to sleep).
