Now the one I really want should go down in price much faster, just checked and Amazon now has the 2460LMT a whooping $8 cheaper than yesterday.
Dropping faster than a rotten mango $258.15 it is getting closer to my target number.
I have placed orders from them before and are a reliable seller.
Will these have higher memory capacities or faster processors? I would love to see comparisons between the Garmin 2.0 and Garmin 3.0 features and performance.
Can't wait to see user reviews on the 3400 series. My 760 has been great but my MSN traffic expires in 2012 and I'd rather not purchase another cable for traffic. If these Nuvis offer accurate traffic in addition to their new features, I am willing to consider them.

Something I just noticed on the site. The nüvi 40 and 50 have junction view, but unlike the more expensive models, the images are not photorealistic. They are full screen images however.
Does this mean that for 2012.30 Garmin's solution to the junction view problem they created in 2012.20 is to eliminate photoreal views to make the file smaller?

Unfortunately, based on Garmin's past actions, I see that as a possibility. But let's not get upset about something that hasn't even happened yet. On a different note though, I'm a little surprised that Garmin's cheaper nuvi 40 and 50 have junction view. The nuvi 40 is supposedly supposed to be available for about $110 (according to Garmin's website), meaning that on amazon, it'll probably be around $90. That's pretty cool considering that just about a year ago, the nuvi 200w was about that much, and it didn't have half the features that the nuvi 40 will have.
-- Garmin Nuvi 3490lmt, 765t with Lifetime maps and Clear Channel traffic
I misread the site. Apparently the 30 is going to have junction view as well. That aside, switching back to non-photoreal junction views does seem like a step back, though a necessary one to support all the older units that have full screen junction view. The junction views seem to also be in keeping with the concept of "essential" that Garmin is going with.
Non-photoreal junction views are also going to be the only option for users with full screen junction view. Every unit in Garmin's 2012 lineup except for the 30, 40 and 50 has split-screen junction view.
P.S. I got my $30 worth from my 200W, and am getting my money's worth from the 1300LM. But it's sad to see that I can get a unit from the "advanced" line for close to the same amount as what my roommate spent on the 1300LM.

I just bought the 2595LMT and I can't say I'm totally happy with it so far. For some reason, I still prefer the Map graphics on my 1490T. I've tried all the Map Themes and it still looks ugly to me. I also don't like the split screen when the Junction View pops up. The 1490T seems to be much louder. The Voice Command is not that bad--maybe, 90% accurate. The Avoid Road feature feature is not what I expected or liked it to be. Also, unlike previous models, you can't tinker with the .system folder cause it doesn't exist--hidden deep somewhere maybe.
On the plus side, the internal memory is now 8Gb (7.31 net). The routing and searching seem to be a little faster, though at times not the one I would have preferred.
The 2460LMT would have been a better choice? Sometimes older is better! I don't know. I'll play with it some more and decide later whether to keep it or return it, or perhaps, exchange it.

Thanks for the review, This was the unit I would consider if I needed a replacement, but think it is certainly best to wait at this point for. How does the Avoid Road feature work or behave? I'd be curious to know.
I'm liking the 5inch screen models and now that Garmin is offering lifetime maps. Possible I might go shopping for a new Nuvi...even though the one I have still works just fine. Hmmmmmm...
I may have spoken too soon. From where I live, I have 3 choices on how to get to the freeway. On a particular intersection, First, I could make a left and travel about 1/4 mile and take the onramp on right and merge with the freeway. Second, I could go straight and travel all the way for 2 1/2 miles and take the onramp on left and merge with the freeway, and third, make a right and travel about 200 feet and take the onramp on right and loop around in an almost cloverleaf-like fashion for about 1/2 mile to merge with the freeway. With my Nuvi 1490T and Dakota 20, no matter what I do, they almost always prefer the second route and sometimes the first route, and never the third route which I prefer since it's the nearest onramp and without stoplights.
When I used the "Custom Avoidances" and "Advanced Detours" of the Nuvi 2595LMT, finally I was able to use the preferred route I've always wanted! I think I have to play with this more to unleash all the features.
Btw, the Custom Avoidances feature gives you the option of picking a start and end points of a road or highway to avoid, and also avoid an area or section of the map I think.

I could this being useful, I was in Pittsburgh one day when they had two bridges that were closed. Of course, the GPS insisted on taking these bridges, and recalculating didn't help. Would be nice to tell it to avoid them.

I think Custom Avoidances is one of the most important features in a nuvi! In my area there is heavy traffic and many routes to choose from. If a road is closed because of an accident or construction, Custom Avoidances is absolutely necessary.
From the Garmin website -
The nuvi 800 series, 805 series, 5000, 2400 series, 2405 series, 2505 series, and 3400 series devices and the dezl series allow you to set up custom avoidances so that you can avoid specific areas and lengths of road. (It is not known if this statement is up-to-date.)
