4 out of 5 stars   The more I learn to use it the better I will be able to judge it.

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS w/ Bluetooth Lifetime Maps - Refurbished (GRNU2689LMTRB)
Pros: Good easy to see screen. Nice size. It seems like it is what I was looking for, but I need to learn how to use it to set directions. You can add an external memory card.
Cons: The download site did not want to work with my older Dell computer. I had to wait for my wife to attach it to her Apple computer to download everything I needed. I had not loaded the external memory card yet and the update nearly used all of the memory it came with. I do not know if the memory card is recognized and I may have to do an update to find out.
Other Comments: A lot of the updated information I initially downloaded was not up to date. I think both smart phones, Apple and Android / Google, has more up to date restaurants, and gas station information. I hope the memory card I installed is large enough and the next update will be more up to date.

4 out of 5 stars   Good item, Great BuyDig service

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS Navigation System w Bluetooth Lifetime Maps (GRNU2689LMT)
Pros: This GPS will easily serve my needs! Have not had occasion to use on a decent trip, but it works great around town! The larger screen (6" compared to my 3.5") makes things easier and provides side by side displays of whats happening. The voice command function works better than my old Garmin 855 model for "hearing" and response to commands. There is a difference in how the voice command works, some better, some not so better. The map display shows a greater area and provides markers for things like gas stations, restaurants, and the things you select it to display as you drive along. Have not used the traffic advisement feature, so have no comments. Believe it has all the usual Garmin functions, tools, settings, etc. Overall a good assist to driving.
Cons: Would be nice if it had an AC device included to plug the USB cable into to make it easier to charge the battery outside the vehicle. The battery does not seem to hold a charge very long, so the unit could be used for pedestrian travel. Guess the larger display takes a lot of power.

5 out of 5 stars   Use the Voice Command frequently
By JMM on September 08, 2016
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS Navigation System w Bluetooth Lifetime Maps (GRNU2689LMT)
Pros: The display is large and crisp. The touch screen for keying in an address or point of interest name is much easier than my older Garmin. I use the "Voice Command" quite a bit and it works very well for finding recently found routes. It works fairly well for "entering" an address.
Cons: Voice Command doesn't do so well for business names and I found if it doesn't show on the list in the first try it's doubtful no matter how much you change how you say it, it won't find it. At this point I just key an address I found on my smart phone and ths saves a lot of frustration.
Other Comments: Wish they could find a way to fold or minimize the bulk of the windshield suction cup.

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS Navigation System w Bluetooth Lifetime Maps (GRNU2689LMT)
Pros: Large, easy to read screen
Cons: Device will not clear previous history. Device turns itself on, even when the engine is not running, causing it to overheat. Device does not recognize locations in my city, by address or by description.
Other Comments: This Garmin is of very poor quality. Would not recommend to anyone.

5 out of 5 stars   Great GPS
By Tim on July 14, 2016
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS Navigation System Friction Mount Bundle (E3GRNU2689LMT)
Pros: Really nice bright high resolution screen. Very fast connection to Satellite. Fast reroute if you pass a turn. Screen size. Was concerned that screen would be to large. It is perfect! Announcements are very clear and loud when you need it to be.
Cons: Only had it for 2 weeks and have found none up to now.
Other Comments: Much improved over the the Gps we had 7 years ago. It was good. This one is way better.

5 out of 5 stars   Garmin Delivers AGAIN!
By caliclia on June 06, 2016
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2589LMT 5" GPS w/ Bluetooth & Lifetime Maps Refurb 1 Year Warranty (GRNU2589LMTRB)
Pros: I have always loved Garmins for my GPS. Every few years I have to either upgrade or just get a new one due to damage or loss. This one was due to loss. It is a bit larger than my last one, but seems to be slimmer as well. The few new things integrated in it are fun to play around with as well. Overall, this is a great GPS. I haven't really had a chance to take it for a full spin, yet, but hopefully soon.
Cons: The one drawback I did see is the power into the device is not a typical USB like that of most non-Apple phones, but a bit larger, so if you loose the cord you are kind of screwed for the time being. That is the only drawback I have seen so far.

4 out of 5 stars   So far so good on a steal of a deal
By AbleDully on May 04, 2016
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2589LMT 5" GPS w/ Bluetooth & Lifetime Maps Refurb 1 Year Warranty (GRNU2589LMTRB)
Pros: Lots of features for the price. Instant on. Fast sat connection. Smartphone Link app with Bluetooth can be nice. Voice command.
Cons: Smartphone Link app can be tricky and fickle at times. Voice command isn't always cooperative and sometimes activates while listening to music. Updated maps still lag smartphone capabilities and route options are not easily reviewed such as on a smartphone.
Other Comments: Seriously, for the money I paid this unit cannot be beat. With all the features it killed in comparison tests and, with the exception of one glitch, has been great. I still use my smartphone to look at map options because this unit isn't the greatest at that but still worthy. The capacitive touch helps but the loading can be slow and hard to make out.

5 out of 5 stars   Works fine as a Navi with large enough sceen ''n great price
By In Countryside on January 06, 2016
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 2689LMT Advanced Series 6" GPS w/ Bluetooth Lifetime Maps - Refurbished (GRNU2689LMTRB)
Pros: Navi works quite well. Good size screen. Even has very accurate speed on screen so when teen son is driving even 1 or 2 miles over speed limit I can tell him to slow down a bit.
Cons: Live in countryside and our home address isn't listed but about a mile away is . We are in what many would call pretty deep countryside. No real problem.
Other Comments: Won't miss a child's track event now due to making wrong turn.
