it works very well. one problem is my antenna is not tall enough. another problem is, you cannot control which direction the antenna goes. I knew that when I bought it, but it does work, Mine is on a 70' tower, works as well as a big-old mast antenna, I like it, but wish it had directional indicators.

This is a nice product with a design that is almost perfect, but not quite.  What I like: it's very small and appears to be quite well made.  It's easy to use and to navigate the setup.  My favorite feature is the auto pause.  By setting that feature, the unit automatically pauses recording when the bike stops and then automatically resumes when the ride continues, which I find to be very useful.  What I don't like: you can choose between 2, 3, or 4-field screens, but the actual fields (other than the bottom scroll field) are preset and cannot be changed.  I like to have the clock visible when I ride, as well as speed and distance.  The only way to have all 3 of those fields showing at the same time is to choose the 4-field screen (which includes the timer as the 4th field), but I find the size of the characters to be too small and the screen is too busy.  So, I am using the 3-field screen, and I have to scroll between the clock and distance when I'm riding.  Personally, I'd like to have a choice between showing the timer or the clock; that would be ideal for me.  Aside from that, I really like this device and would recommend it.

Finally found a clock with numbers that can be read from a distance and a screen that is not so bright that it lights up the entire room.  I wish it had the projection feature, but I'm just happy with a radio that picks up the stations I want and the numbers on the screen are large enough to be seen from across the room.  The direction manual is a real challenge, so any advice I would share with the manufacturer would be to rewrite that in understandable terms and graphic symbols that can be read.

I traded in a 1390LMT and got this one, and overall I've been very pleased with it. It's glass, thin, more like a smart phone than a traditional GPS and I like that. The screen is super bright, navigation calculation is extremely quick and so far I've been pleased with accuracy and function. That being said, the one draw back is that I've found while setting destinations sometimes I have to give an extra tap because I'm not used to having to tap glass instead of the old style screen. Don't get me wrong, I still strongly prefer the glass touch, look, etc. but it takes some slight adjustment to pressing style and length of press so the press will register.

I would buy it again if I had the option.

I like the product, and it is really useful.

However, I would like to see some things improved:

1. Initial connection to satellites is too long

2. The machine needs to be rebooted from time to time, when it gets stuck looking infinitely for satellites

3. Is it a little large, looking like a CRT television - making it hard to stow or carry around, I thing a thiner design could be better.

I like everything about this remote except for the fact that it doesn't have easier "Arrows" and "Select/Enter".  Maybe if they added arrows surrounding the trackball it would be nicer.  Currently it's clunky to try to use buttons to navigate.

Also, this remote seems like it was designed to be used with one hand, but to use the function keys you have to hold FN and select whatever else you want.  They should make the "FN" key LOCK on/off so you can completely use this with one hand.

Overall, I am mostly satisfied.  I wanted to upgrade to bluetooth and voice command to make the user experience easier, and the user experience is more pleasant with these additions.  There are things which bother me about the unit which I consider shortsighted and poorly considered by the designers at Garmin.

1.  No vertical dashboard.  The Garmin 50LM has a nice "More Data Layout" in its display options which is basically its vertical dashboard.  However, all of the 2595LMT's dashboards are horizontal.  I strongly prefer the vertical dashboard because it allows the eyes to focus on either the map or the dashboard.  The Garmin LM50 has a nicer layout with the vertical dashboard than this "advanced" 2595 LMT unit.  Makes me wonder why Garmin didn't include an equal number of vertical and horizontal dashboards with the software or as an option to cover all preferences.
2.  Overall the 2595LMT fonts look smaller than the Garmin Nuvi 50LM, and the screen looks dimmer and fuzzier.  I'm not sure if this is an illusion, but it is something to consider. Also this could be because I'm used to having a vertical dashboard which concentrates the image and pixels more than the horizontal dashboard does.
3.  Unlike the Garmin 50LM, there is no way to change your country map and then find your city.  Voice Command offers some relief because if you "Find City", there is a "Change Country" option.  Absent that, you have to hope that the city comes up when you enter it.  I think this is a flaw for a device that covers "North America".
4.  Speed Camera Proximity alerts are now available only with a Cyclops subscription for the 2595 LMT at $25 per year  This was included with the 50LM free of charge.
5.  It would be nice if Garmin designers would be a little bit more like Magellan and use US Zip Codes as an optional starting point for destination entry.

Neat little device that works well for obtaining the general direction for dish pointing. Very easy to use. Of course, care in storage seems vital as mine apparently was placed next to my angle finder by someone at home, and it lost all magnetism, so has been useless since.

I bought this to replace an old Garmin that was given to me. I liked this one having the lifetime maps; I looked at the ones that offer real-time traffic and construction, but don't use it enough to justify the cost.

This works well because it tells you the name of the street to turn on, etc. instead of just "500 feet ahead turn right". With my old one there might've been two options and you had to guess which of the two was the correct one to turn on. This tells you and the map shows you - huge improvement.

It would be nice if you could import the addresses somehow instead of having to physically type each one in. It also doesn't find every address. Google maps found a business I was looking for, but the Garmin couldn't (the street has been there for at least five years, so it wasn't a new area).

Overall, for the price I think it's a good choice.

I had an old alarm clock which did not have digital tuning, and as result it was always drifting and it also had poor sensitivity.  My main criteria in the replacement was that it have digital tuning, and good sensitivity.  I looked at the weird styling of some radios in the local Target and Best Buy, but didn't really see anything that pleased me.
Based on the reviews I read, this Boston Accoustics seemed like a good choice.  When I got it, the sensitivity, volume, and tuning proved to be very good.  The default settings proved to be a bit bassy for me, but it can be adjusted to my liking.
My biggest gripe is the display.  Its an electroluminesent display with a blue background, and the numbers are a creamy off-white.  Its virtually impossible to read the display at night from any distance.  The display is sensitive to the ambient light, but it still doesn't dim enough with the lights out in the bedroom, so its a tad too bright at night if you adjust the display for proper level with the lights turned on.
My solution is that I now have 2 clock radios in the bedroom.  The old one has a great display (big green LED's), and the new one has a great radio receiver.  I would have no problems recommending this for a living area, but for strictly a clock-radio function, you should be able to find something with a  better display.

Overall I like the product. Time is nice and big, and everything works pretty well. The viewing angle is not as much as i thought, instead of visible from most angles (170 degrees) i would call it more like 140 or 130. You need to view it relatively directly on. Be sure to not place it on an exterior wall as this will throw off the internal temperature by a few degrees. The out door temperature sensor works great so far, be sure not to place it in the sun or rain. Setup is very easy, no problems. Really i just stuck batteries in it and left it overnight, when i came back the time was set and everything worked. It does look plasticy with the shiny black trim, but that's just aesthetics.

This works well however, my one recommendation would be that it pivots up and down.  It occilates from side to side, but it would be nice to be able to aim the direction of the airflow.  High speed is a little loud.

Other than that, it was good.

The GPS is easy to read from a distance.  I also like the new, larger keyboard for entering the names of saved places. The user can customize the sidebar as to additional desired information. One feature that I wish it had but I have not yet found is information about the distance to the end of the route.  It gives the estimated driving time and estimated arrival time, but not the distance.

A feature I wish ALL Garmins had was the ability to inform Garmin about closed POIs or bad directions (e.g., directing turns onto bike paths or side streets adjacent to  the main highways.)

I like it for what it is.  Twice I found I was in a newer area, but the street couldn't be found by Garmin.  Then I recognized it had 2005 software in it.  That was not part if the description (a little bait & switch to me).

Love the dial to turn up sound.  Graphics are fine.  I have some trouble going directly back to a new destination (instead of pressing BACK multiple times).

Definitely beneficial for anyone who gets lost as much as I do.  There aren't that many new streets in my area, but apparently to update is very expensive.  This is a little false advertising to me.

I have had several of these projector clocks, but mostly by LaCrosse.  I really liked the look of this one, with the constantly lit display and the blue projection with both the temp and time continuous.  The only bad flaw is that they limit the projection rotation to 180 degrees matching the direction of the clock.  So if you have the clock on your bedside table facing you, the display is sideways.  The only way you can get the projection straight is to either put the clock on the headboard, turn the clock to face the foot of the bed or place it on a dresser at the foot of the bed projecting over you.  This is a stupid flaw. If they were going to design it this way they should have rotated the projection 90 degrees so you could place it on either side of the bed.  The LaCrosse models have 90 degree rotation so you can set it which ever way you want it.  Also the blue projection is a bit bright so some might be disturbed by that but I found it pleasant. I also like that it doesn't switch back and forth between time and temp because both are displayed together. Thumbs up on that feature.

I like it for what it does, and it has helped me improve my run times by letting me know when I'm slacking, but it did a few things that didn't make sense at first:

1) Unless you turn it off by pressing and holding the 'light' button, it's going to run out of juice overnight, and you'll think it's broken when it won't turn on.
2) It won't successfully link up with the various GPS satellites unless you stop moving for about 1 minute or so.  And, it's super annoying to get all warmed up and ready to run and then have to stand still while it figures this out.
3) It doesn't always want to connect with USB, and you either need to reboot or force the computer to rescan for new devices when this happens.

That said, when it's doing its job, I'm happy with it and expect to use it for many years.

I really like it for use with my small parking lot at the beach.  Sure beats having to stay constantly alert for incoming customers that arrive very sporadically.  For my purposes, I wish it had a battery option for the receiver so that I could carry it with me.  I am also disappointed with the few options provided for the alert signals.  They either sound like a doorbell chimey tune, or a smoke detector signal.  Is the old gas station "Ding Ding" patented by another company or something?  I can't decide which one is least annoying to keep it set at.  Other than that, I love it.
