Product Description
An Advanced Sat Nav with Lifetime Traffic and Mapping
The Nuvi 2445LMT is part of Garmin's collection of advanced sat navs offering sophisticated features ideal for every-day use. The Nuvi 2445LMT has a 4.3” dual-orientation touchscreen display, is preloaded with maps for Western Europe, has 3D traffic, lifetime maps and our unique Cyclops speed cameras.
Packed with Advanced Navigation Features
Powered by Guidance 2
The Guidance 2 advanced navigation engine provides a fast, intuitive user interface for swifter, more accurate routing. It also has faster search facilities which make finding points of interest such as restaurants, hotels, airports and more, quicker as well as giving search suggestions.
Advanced navigation features are also introduced into the Guidance 2 range such as Garmin 3D Traffic and our exclusive split-screen PhotoReal Junction View for so you are prepared for upcoming exits and junctions.
Avoid Traffic Tie-Ups
To keep drivers moving, the Nuvi 2445LMT includes subscription-free 3D traffic for the lifetime of the product.
Delivered via traditional RDS-TMC, the service combines trafficTrends™ historic route data together with information on the current traffic situation to identify congestion and incidents on your planned journey. An astonishing 80 million sources are used to understand what's happening on the roads, with comprehensive coverage of motorways and A roads across the UK and Europe. If there are queues, you'll be offered an alternative route to avoid any delay.
FREE lifetime traffic updates may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product. Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter. Traffic content not available for all areas. See www.garmin.co.uk/traffic
Free Map Updates for Life
With Nuvi 2445LMT, you can drive reassured you've always got the most up to date maps, points of interest and navigation information on board. The very latest maps are available to download up to four times a year with no subscription or update fees.
Know the Lane Before It's Too Late
Avoid confusion at tricky exits and junctions. Nuvi 2445LMT's Lane Assist with PhotoReal Junction View shows the lane you need to be in at upcoming major junctions and exits with incredible detail of your surroundings right down to the trees, bridges and pylons. From a mile before the junction, the sat nav enters split screen mode to show your position on the map alongside a realistic depiction of your upcoming manoeuvre, with accurately reproduced road signs for confident navigation and reassurance you're on track.

Customer Reviews
When shopping around for this unit, note that the "LM" in the 2445LMT model number means live maps (=free map updates for life - that's the life of the unit, not me!) and the "T" means live traffic which is picked up from FM transmitters scattered round the country. You can buy a Nuvi 2445 without the LMT for around 30 pounds less. But the LMT features sound like useful things to have especially as there are no extra charges once you buy the unit. There is also a 2495LMT model (which has bluetooth and voice control) and there are also 2545LMT and 2595LMT models which are large screen variants (5 inch screens instead of 4.3 inch screens).
There are numerous design changes from the old Nuvi 760 I owned, so it took a little getting used to. Instead of "recently found" you have to use "history" to call up locations you asked it to find in the past. Garmins always show the arrival time on the main map but this unit also shows the current speed on the main map view. (you can change this to show other data if you wish) but I find it useful to be able to check the current speed. On one of the sub panels you can access a couple of trip meters and things like your average speed, time spend stationery etc.
The map contains preloaded speed limits for almost all roads and shows this on screen. It beeps when you enter a speed camera area and then beeps repeatedly if your speed is above the speed limit in the camera area. However, be warned that near and around villages the indicated limit is sometimes wrong - so you do still need to pay attention to speed limit signs. There is a fee to pay if you want to update the speed camera database. Read more ›
The lifetime maps (and traffic) is great too which keeps the maps up to date for the life of the product.
I've used this a few times now on quite long trips and it has performed perfectly with no errors, which is just what I was after. Easy to set up, use and it's accurate - excellent! I can't believe you get all this for the money! Well done Garmin, i'm a happy man, especially when you gave me an extra 10% of accessories when I registered it. I downloaded the USA maps for an upcoming trip at a reasonable price.
The satellites are acquired almost immediately when switched on, a great improvement on the 250W which can take a few minutes.
The menus are easily followed.
The 3-D mapping is good but other options are available if preferred.
I like the announcement of street names when told to turn.
The route planner is great and all the local amenities are accurately displayed.
I wish there was more information on paper about how the traffic facility works.
Also, I wish that all SatNavs were programmed to avoid narrow country lanes. They should not be available, even under shortest route. I haven't used passing places for years, and my wife found reversing down a lane to a passing place quite a challenge.
Tha traffic facilitiy is good and works well, but we had to discover how when we were automatically diverted because of an incident.
On the whole I'd say that this is a very good SatNav. Recommended.
Well it seems to perform extremely well, and I am impressed. My only criticism is the poor information given in the full manual that I had to download. None of it is fully intuitive and I had to spend quite a time finding out how to navigate through the various features, without much help from the manual. Even adding a location to the favourites folder is not shown clearly. I am sure there must be other features that I haven't found out so far, but will keep trying.
I did an update to the maps which took an age. My first attempt failed with a number of error messages to contemplate. I was however successful on the second attempt, however it took a good hour for the update to upload, so be prepared.
On the whole I love it.
I swiftly told TomTom to do one :-) and came across a NavMan, with unlimited upates etc....well I picked it up and the traffic just wouldn't work! the whole unit was slow and plastic feeling, and you couldn't customise it how you want it set up, how it came is how you have to live with it! so it went right back to the shop...... All the time I longed to go back to my Garmin that always did me so well before it went out of date but they were just to expensive,.... well that was until this amazing piece of kit from Garmin popped up on amazon, the nevi 2445LMT 4.3 ....Well what can I say for �109.99.... Free updates on maps and traffic for LIFE! I snapped one up right away and wow, what a piece of kit it is for the price, It has EVERYTHING on it, it feels solid and good quality, its fast, it feels good! its got soooooo many options to do didn't things to set it up how I want it, and it just works! everything works!.....Totally recommend this.... will never leave Garmin again.... worst thing I ever did. I 100% recommend this device guys. Buy it now!!!!
A**************************** from me honestly...........
