Garmin nüvi 2555LMT Review

There is this product ended up being a little older than I like to have one video so I broke it off and shoot three separate videos this video right now to cover the general specifications as information on the product itself obviously resulting to sheer will cover the general user interface although loveliness on the screen and this video here here will leave the protest and the navigation UI but this is a review of the Garmin newbie 2555 LNG always could also be used as a secondary review for continuity 2455 LNG outages just before his version of this device or the 2595 LNG which is the Bluetooth and voice command version of this device essentially says what was that as soon sure the sexual microphone Sosa sent general housing with just slightly different authoring system general specifications it is .6 inches in depth 5.4 inches in length and 2.3 inches in height and weighs about the ounces if you can see here the second phase of this has a shining bezel to it which is a fingerprint magnet much like the screen itself is actually a fingerprint magnet on the back here this is a slightly revised out backing its exhibits good progress but this will attract us you can also see speaker and the micro USB 2.0 will work for powering it and transfer constitute advice on the side here there is a expandable microSD slot for now send out photos and other things you put on some device and talk here is all the power to now going to win with the old slide to power on button that had a locking mechanism uses an older new features 60 uses a free size comparison between the two DL and T stands for lifetime traffic and their caveats with lifetime traffic and traffic you need to have a supported RECEIVER that works are going to stop using a traffic got required to get updates anymore also traffic is not supported now it is not terribly insurance is now it lingers to turn and add on when you're at a. For more than 10 to 15 seconds and is not every time is when you're near a sponsor that is possible sadly as a kind of becoming the way of the world that you may have seen at all with this video or seen in an alternate middle of the video for depending where you are watching us of your own YouTube you might see Passover's year down here in Israel as it is where the world now if you want something freaking out paperwork with your at dollars Raul, it is not terribly intrusive all is a little annoying because OB done $almanac and you can liquidate it does not often the lifetime's are really useful extent of this device and the dissolution of this device is actually determined by Garmin Allah saved for years now Gorman doesn't think this device is worth also pointed out you won't get anymore and would get you for four years all I've actually had people at the lifetime subscriptions and based on the internal storage on this particular wealth garbage in general this actually has a 3.16 solid-state internal hard drive and they were saying within for updates and accept the internal hard drive now if I managed to get with this device is only updated it twice now with maps on it if I do myself a hard drive is where the subtle nuances microSD card and if that happens up with little education here and link to video actually doing it the device comes preloaded with in this case North American so that cellulitis in Canada Mexico Puerto Rico US religion Islands Cayman

 Islands and the Bahamas WAY that you can choose just stateside you to do all his extras and save some space on the device are not law obvious that it's a small army there a lot of rows long so it might be worth it just will want also I could read was researching this device a lot of people were saying how the brick is whether having issues with it scared me I had issues with this device now on the service writer when I first revised registered on Garmin's website and I downloaded a software update the report was download software update on this way if there are any votes that initially cannot the system you can correct that with software update identities for this yet and I hope you have a obvious license of those of the orientation once you cash handling this on your car don't know many people here because I'd rather not see what's coming next year I'd rather see what's happening on here now the problem with this is it does not happen accelerometer to see what did you want demonstration leaders effective botnet you have pushed to change the orientation of the device oh now normally I don't do on boxing stuff but I figure this particular device of my worthwhile show. So this is actually the back into the voice which I normally just keep on the device at all times does it makes it easier for me to find later call Gorman has changed their little false assumption computerthey date took out so these are hollow and ball hinge up here is actually called out compared to their older version which is more solid and weighs a little more so this hasn't fallen off my window as of yet not here FM transmitter for the traffic on this particular thing they did I have reservations about it when it's plugged into the back of the device you'll notice you have this here hanging down on I feel that within time this might actually losing the connecting port and back edges.

 Garmin nüvi 2555LMT User Interface

well, I don't have this issue only because where I have the device situated this transmitter is Lionel Mike – so I don't have that issue but it is also quick I have concerns about when I got this device it was 219 it has gone down in price to 199 now I like it is a nice device nice big screen easy to see if you're interested in the Garmin devices doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity or all or the VoiceCommands I recommend this one.

Now here we have Garmin's user interface has changed all that much even though this is technically device has guidance 2.0 Audi to change the layout of some of the screen and the major differences are in the maps area and when you're navigating I cannot like in the guidance 2.0 system chew out Microsoft when they went to the Microsoft Office ribbon people who knew how to use the program before don't like the new one because it's really simple five and they know where everything was and they changed it to make the experience simpler out you get a hang of it after a while so it's not that big of a deal so on the home screen here we have the standard where to UMass the time over here you can see the battery and appear the signal strength and in this case since you go mode liquid crystal not you have a choice between automotive and pedestrian mode also here we have a volume button there are no external hard buttons on this device to change the volume so you can click to drag the volleyball comments this device is not actually doesn't have the same screen has like a smart phone so it's not as sensitive and some of the screens that you think you can drag you can actually drag you have used arrows out so will go into the now so here you have different apps you have a help out eco-route which only works if you buy an eco-subscription you articulable message that pops up you don't have this accident after you have audiobooks here is a trip planner here is your photo viewer and his overall preloaded on the device this one gave And this one is the where I've been to juices, cool he if you allow the device to keep track of where you bet it will keep track and make route so in this case up to where was I going on and hear your total 17 mile and I cut out part of where 

I've been the curves I don't want the actual counties popping up on several next I will move on to the sex now the settings you have several choices that you can go through which I will start with the will start to talk with maps and Google here you have vehicles this will allow you to go through all people choices here is one of those times were so you can click and drag which doesn't work too well also after the mutual here these are items that I put on you can also click the side yet that's a sourcing background the GPS to get my wife to go along with buying an expensive new toy that were going not sure that anymore so I don't get sued by George Lucas into oblivion so next used driving Matthew here you can choose all 3-D North off track I have it set for the 3-D and it by people in the remote will track also the direction you're heading is the part of the top-tier Is the gesture in Matthew so that desired track and north of these are your options that you can pick map detail you have less normal and more abnormal like that on more apparently when I was testing for the son of your change that lasts down here you have met being so you can choose from a plethora of color schemes are by default set for Garmin but you can do will do the Netherlands and here you'll notice over here changes the color scheme I heralded what doesn't look all that different on this link has lots of respective default map buttons now the map buttons are buttons that will pop up on the side here I have right now set to stop navigating detour in the traffic button if you don't want them here you just click on the X it says it will go away you can get back by going to tools you click okay if you want to bring that button back will put a new botnet these are placeholders you get three of them you just click and hold on it and it will bring back the village of the options of the map buttons severe traffic mutants stop detour exit service where much of computer mind map or map where Sprint has where two or you I'm going to go back and put the stop so now the stop button is that will hit to cancel actually so doesn't bother doing anything map layers these of the different layers you can put on the device and apparently this little bit of places alongside the road while you're driving along you'll see this went to the other demonstration on it will show banks of places to eat things of that nature traffic traffic it will show traffic along the way if there is any answer blog template with so Is – for now this is the little bit that shows up down here there are several choices to choose from you can cycle through them and it everything makes this device more personalized to you autistic mind that all except for the default one seem to push the ED automobile or I caught up further this one has adapter which lets it sit in between the moving on go home well after that's just my map so that's the installments on this device is related items are on a different screen but since you're in this particular screen on it saying hate these two items are also all relatives do you want to look at these we don't want to do that run out of back and see if you navigation SOAK your own navigation you have calculation mode right now I have set for less fuel you have shortest distance off the road fastest time in general calculation moments of witnesses I have you turned polls to pick holes right now traffic carpool lane you have a plethora of choices custom avoidance is you can go in here and at a particular outrage to avoid or area I don't have a separate now advanced detour enable you can disable that if you want okay here you can do this is pedestrian modes of his limit walking distance of an upper body changing as so except for one mile also that makes it so you don't have to walk more than a month public transportation obviously you have all of your public transportation options next is safe mode

 which Sharper Image know everybody and their mother disables this prevents you from touching and activating the screen while your cars moving GPS simulator is just that it will allow you to if you're not moving preferably in a store you can simulate the GPS activity and I can do that right now and again the related items top of back next is display here is that orientation I was telling you about some breakouts in landscape mode if I select portrait that redundancy changes everything to portrait mode now it does not like I said have a accelerometer in so that's only what you can change the orientation for you what it looks like with the map when I change orientation later when I do the test drive color mode autos you have day and night and auto settings nowadays setting has this white background the night setting changes it to a black background now the auto setting will automatically switch between the two because setting is not dependent on the light around the devices there is no licensor on this device is based on time of day and where you are located so it is it o'clock and you are located in California it's assuming okay certainly get dark now and will change to the night mode to sleep it on over to want I'm normally switching that you manually if I wanted to our brightness settings are just that again this is one of those options or you can either click it or drag it and display timeout is just that is how long it takes for the screen to go into a power suit remote in this case I have it set for 10 minutes are well here we have a screenshot option which I actually have played with you on surprised that the apparently two screenshots on this polluted and easier than trying to record this AGAIN the related items so it will do traffic now so traffic you need to have the receiver plug-in or if you can't play with that option you'll see that later traffic transit is a struggle traffic information so based on your driving habits and where you drive if you are doing the 9-to-5 thing and every day at 845 this particular section of a major highway gets clogged it will try and direct you elsewhere and he related articles Unit of time so current time time format units are language and keyboard part voice language now I have it currently set for American Jill American Jill is the only English-speaking one American speaking one that will say turn right on Main Street rather than turn right a 45 for the amount of 5 feet so American Jill is a turn right on Main Street rather than turn right a 45 feet the other plethora of choices to go through actually compared to the overdrive when I have American Jill has actually gotten better sushi doesn't sound quite as robotic text language again you have choices I have it set for American English because I am in America and I speak English keyboard language is well American English keyboard layout you have your clergy or you can do the ABCD is used to typing on a keyboard I recommend the same with QWERTY keyboard is a standard keyboard and back to the related items back place so you have about you travel history you can clear your travel records and that is it for the general user interface the taking out to do a test drive and show you the different mapping functions.
