  • A product’s “useful life” means the period during which the product (a) has sufficient memory capacity and other required technical capabilities to utilize current map data and (b) is capable of operating as intended without major repairs. A product will be deemed to be out of service and its useful life to be ended if no updates have been downloaded for such product for a period of 24 months or more. Unless otherwise stated, the updates you receive under the subscription will be updates to the same geographic area included with your Garmin product when originally purchased.

    Horrible software

    9 years ago
    Bought this version for the lifetime maps. When I turned it on the maps were out of date. So after spending half the day downloading the new maps, it went to transfer them to the device -- and said it was out of memory. When I went and bought a micro SD card and plugged it in (about 45 mins), it had to download them all over again! Then a year later when it, as it often did, pointed us in the wrong direction, I happened to check the date on the maps -- it hadn't installed any updates. When I tried to plug it back into the computer and run the update again, I got some sort of ridiculous error. When I looked the error up, there were several people with the same problem who couldn't update their device, and Garmin was flippant about it - basically the problem is your computer, not their patchwork software! Don't waste your money - get a data plan and use Google Maps, which has much more accurate live traffic anyway!

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Works fine and good support from Garmin

    It gives direction to chosen destination, Had a problem with unit at the start - no voice command icon - contacted Garmin support after registering product and received the correction within 48 hours. It is not perfect as there are communication problems with the voice command - unit not understanding my commands (similar to my experience with Siri).

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Q: Can the school zone warning signal be turned off? I live near a school and pass it multiple times a day. I don't want to constantly hear this signal.

    • A: School zone warnings can't be turned off, but they should only sound during school zone hours. If you'd like to suggest a change to this feature, I'd recommend submitting it through our ideas portal here: www.garmin.com/ideas Thank you. -JPK

    • A: Pretty accurate, there are quarterly updates as well to keep them fresh. The only problem is sometimes street names are abbreviated, searching by postal codes solves that problem.

    Q: How is the bluetooth

    11 years ago
    2 Answers
    • A: Purchase for the GPS and not the bluetooth. I have a separate bluetooth device for answering calls and listening to my iphone and thus do not rely on the Garmin unit to satisfy my bluetooth needs. I wife has a 2014 CRV which has bluetooth but does not have GPS and thus the reason we purchased this unit.

    Q: if I have the European maps will I be able to update them for free? I bought a Garmin 2597 with North American maps but want to install European maps. Apparently I have to add them on an SD card. Can I update for free to the SD card? thanks

    11 years ago
    2 Answers
    • A: Mapping updates are not compatible with pre-programmed SD cards or downloaded mapping. These updates are only compatible with mapping that came pre-loaded on your Garmin and mapping that was purchased in DVD format. For mapping of Europe on the nuvi 2597LMT, you would want the DVD format so that you can do updates in the future. The mapping updates for Europe would also be an additional purchase.
