Customer Reviews
Customer Reviews for the Garmin nüvi 2529 LMT-D.
The Garmin nuvi series which ran from 2006-2016 has always been the most popular sat-nav in Ireland. The series improved considerably over the years in terms of mapping, screen sizes, functionality and reliability. We couldn't fault these devices.
So, Garmin in 2016 decided to refresh the series by renaming it the Garmin Drive. Essentially the Drive is the same as the nuvi with a few extra whistles such as additional safety features and WIFI for map/software updates (a wired connection is still always better).
At the end of the day, the important bits, the free map updates, the lifetime digital traffic, the lane guidance, junction view, points of interest are exactly the same, the rest is just fluff (sorry did I just say that).
We have managed to get on hands on the last line of the nuvi series, the nuvi 25xx, at a great price so like-for-like these are brialliant value for money compared to the Garmin DriveSmart 51 Ireland/UK LMT-D which is €225.
