    This is supposed to be better for $10 more: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Garmin-Nuvi-2589LMT-GPS-Navigatio…. Have to use the C10AU code.

    M… okay, my bad. left out a letter. Thanks mod.

    I bought a Garmin Nuvi about two years ago.

    The UI is terrible. And it's very slow to begin your route. And the battery life is appalling. I'm lucky to get an hour or two even with the brightness turned down. And for some reason it won't let me enter my own address! It simply refuses to accept my house number, instead giving numbers before or after.

    Just my experience. But I won't be buying another Garmin.

      do you have any recommendations. I'm in the market for a one

      • jackspratt on 27/12/2016 - 14:15

        I've had 3 Garmin Nuvii's (260/255W/52LM currently), and now on the lookout for an updated 4th - hence my interest in this thread.

        I would not buy another major brand (ie Tom Tom or Navman) ahead of a Garmin.

        My brother had a top of the range Tom Tom, and changed to a Garmin after seeing my lowly model.

        My previous GPS was a Garmin as well. It was very old but the things I hate about my current one we're fantastic on my old one.

        I can't recommend another brand. I bought my GPS online. In future I'll go instore and try them out.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2016 - 15:21

          I guess like a lot of things it comes down to your experience.

          Glad to hear yours was good.

        you have 5 options really.

        but, really, test the GPS before you leave the store. the demo units aren't updated, but they come with preinstalled traffic and POIs so that you can just start driving, without updating. this is rather necessary, so if the demo sucks, just use your phone instead. if the sales asst. says "it will improve once the box is opened/ updated over the internet", this is a conceit and a deceit.

        The store demo GPS should work just the same as if you bought it since australian maps have 200-250mb of map data and another 200-400mb of presets for traffic, lane indicators, POIs, voice recognition, and these are updated every 3-6 weeks with 2-50mb of incremental updates from the time they leave the factory, including gps sync updates (ephemeris / sync data)

        1. garmin ( nuvi 25/26/27xx series is 2014), (drivesmart 5x/6x series is 2015/2016. DriveAssist includes a dash cam and auto records with distance sensors. LM is lifetime (of the gps) map upgrades, LMT adds a traffic radio RDS-TMC into the charging cable.) only one feature is different, route shaping, and driver alerts for long driving periods, which is almost an afterthought.

        comparison chart for nuvi / drivesmart and dezl (trucks) http://www.gpscentral.ca/products/garmin/nuvi-comparison.htm

        1. navman (doing well, but doesn't have the same traffic or routing systems). can export a driving log, which is more difficult to do for tomtom/garmin.

        2. tomtom go series (a total wreck of an OS, mostly unusable), or the Via (limited, but useful. hard to find). Go 50 requires updates over usb, go 500/520/620 has wifi updates ? okay. 510/610 and 520/620 have speed camera updates you used to pay $80/yr for, 5200/6200 have a 4g sim card for live updates.

        3. Google Maps / Waze (uses 2G/3G or 4G data to cache maps, grab live traffic/weather, photos, etc.)

        5 Sygic / tomtom for offline maps on your phone/tablet (preinstalled maps, limited live traffic/weather, ie costs extra, can use data if needed)

        In terms of UI, google maps then Waze.

        Waze will give you alternative directions to avoid traffic, or even the hint of traffic, often leading you to take bush roads, drive around bridges, 3 blocks from a school to bypass a roundabout, etc. If you have it open, and ignore the waze determined directions, and drive your own way, it will remember your preferences and store it for later use, giving you your preferred "shortcut" . It's also useful for getting live reports of speedcams as everyone contributes data and it gets forwarded on to the Google Maps system.

        The best would be google maps for 90% of city use, due to tunnel/skyscraper obstructions and GPS signal loss. google location can pick up wifi from buildings and approximate your location, but it's rubbish during tunnels.

        tomtom and garmin have "inertial" guidance, ie don't stop or slow down, and it will guess your location in a tunnel or city area based off entrance speed.

        both compete gradually with each other in features, but tomtom is technically newer. it has severe downsides though.

        If you want to test a GPS,

        find a store you know well enough to drive to, and check the navigation it takes without the benefit of internet / traffic services. i.e. look up your home address and see if it can find your house, or if privacy conscious, a nearby pizza store or petrol station.

        Most, won't have a good POI database to locate stores without foursquare / google lookups using your phone data. some gps units will get hung up over a street that exists in 6 suburbs (tomtom), and wont be easy to use, unless every favourite is stored or looked up on google maps, then exported to the gps.

        if testing navigation and simulation see how fast it responds while driving to open the menu, find a petrol station or mcdonalds nearby on the current route, and how far of a detour it would be, how much time it thinks a trip to work should take at 8am with it's inbuilt route knowledge. tomtom and garmin both have preset 'traffic' stubs that can set a practical speed for major roads in a city area for that map that dont need online sync/traffic to work.

        in terms of usability, the Garmin Drivesmart 50/60LMT or any of the LMT nuvi series if they're still around. Then the garmin driveAssist with the integrated dashcam, then the TomTom go 620 series.

        then google maps/waze, or the sygic app for iOS/android,

        both drivesmart and go 5x/5xx/5xxx use your phone data for traffic updates, tomtom can read out your SMS messages. since the tomtoms are modified android systems, the 520/620 have wifi updates, the 5xxx/6xxx series has a 4g LTE sim card for live updates, which is more useful in europe/US areas. The extra you pay in the 520/620 avoids subscription costs that tomtom throws in after the first year.

          thank you for taking time to give such a detailed answer! I guess I'll go with the drivesmart unit that's in this thread:https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/284577

          one more thing. how do you connect the unit to the car to get the voice navigation instructions, is it via the AUX of the car stereo.

        • toliman on 27/12/2016 - 16:52

          @kiLbiL:

          voice navigation uses the GPS's own speaker/microphone. virtually none of the portable units have external mic or speaker ports. older mounting brackets sometimes have this, but its mostly USB power due to the Traffic radio being in the charging cable itself, not in the mounting bracket, which means the bracket is cheaper and more replaceable if it breaks in the heat, sic.

          bluetooth headset / hands free phone features also use the GPS speaker/microphone, which, depending on your dashboard/window means frequent shouting to be heard over road noise, Aircon, etc. YMMV. if you can move it to hands length, it should be audible. further than this, it's hard to be heard or to hear others.

          again, this might be car/dash dependent. some people have made makeshift mounts to move the GPS closer or above the steering wheel, etc in bigger cars.

          even fewer of the recent/2nd hand/ebay GPS units have external speaker/microphone or externals in the mounting bracket. i'm not even sure where to look, since models have been pared down and features removed if they weren't popular, i.e. mp3 players, photo viewers, sic.

          having said this, the Truck / RV units might have this feature, as they have larger units, and the mount bracket often needs to be wired or strapped in, just due to the limited truck/RV mount points with window/radio signal access

          if you really want that feature, you will likely need to invest in one of the more ridiculously priced DIN in-car units. Some cheaper models are available from china for under $400, some even have a nice touchscreen with android 4.4, or Android 5.0 (not 6 or 7). the "parrot" unit at jb hifi, you can get for $450 on ebay matched to your particular car era/type/model. check photos.

          The pioneer / sony units often retail in at $1100 and need your phone for data usage, i.e. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto . however, those add an extra $500 to $1000 for the privilege. they are nowhere near cheap.

        • kiLbiL on 27/12/2016 - 22:59

          @toliman: thanks! nah that should be alright as long as it does have a speaker of some sort to output the sound.

  • lostnfound on 27/12/2016 - 16:18

    Thanks op. Bought this at TGG. Price matched with Harvey Norman.
