Garmin Nulink 2390 Review8518246

It has been a very long time when i last played with a Garmin SatNav so I was fairly motivated to look with fresh eyes at the Garmin nuLink 2390 review. This is the top of the range Garmin PND which consists of live traffic, together with different live services.

The Garmin nuLink 2390 satnav hardware Consequently ranging from the beginning lets take a glance at the device. The Garmin nuLink! measures 4.8" x 2.9" x 0.6" and features a 4.3" wide touch screen and a resolution of 480x272 pixels. It weighs 5.1 ounces also it comes with an inner chargable battery with a quoted lifetime of up to three hrs. There is a built in loudspeaker for voice instructions which employs Text to Speech giving you Turn by Turn instructions that include street names.

Garmin consists of a built in Bluetooth wireless technology into the 2390 that permits the SatNav to operate the same as a hands free wireless vehicle system. Unfortunately they did not apply some other Bluetooth audio protocols which means that I cannot send the speech commands to my Bluetooth enabled car stereo. Having stated that the Garmin nuLink 2390 does not include an MP3 music player so there is most likely not quite a lot of sense in simply sending the voice instructions over british telecom. with regards to audio output there is no audio jack either as a result only the built in speaker can provide audio.

The main features of the nuLink! 2390 apart from the navigation are: 3D Traffic, Speed Cameras, PhotoLive Traffic Cameras, photoReal Junction views, voice dictation user interface, and wireless hands free operation. Along with these options there are a complete host of other frills to maintain you on the highway and informed throughout your journey.

There is a 'live' connection incorporated into the system to permit a data connection to be made to the Garmin servers. This enables the Garmin to supply a variety of bundled and premium live services.

Maps are pre-loaded into internal memory, however can be extended using the microSD slot if required. This memory growth can be used for POIs, maps or some other data content, at the side of the inner memory.
