If Bluetooth and an MP3/audiobook player aren’t important to you, the 2×5 series might just deliver the features you want in the most economical package.Description Avantgarde® Windshield Mount For Garmin Nuvi 1300 1350TNever lose your way! Keep your Garmin Nuvi GPS with you at all time with this windshield suction mount. That being said, however, we note that the 2×5 series begins to blur the lines between entry- and mid-level, even including features found only in its top-end systems. Like the 200 series, we believe the Garmin 2×5 series will find its niche among those seeking a solid entry-level offering that’s exceptionally easy to use. Still distinguishing the 200 and 2×5 series from mid- and high-end nuvis is the fact that none of the models include the ability to play MP3 files or provide Bluetooth capability for hands-free telephone operation.

Like the 200 series, the 2×5 series is sleeker, thinner and sports a more modern look, aided by the lack of a fold-out antenna, now an internal patch antenna. The HotFix™ feature also drains a small amount of power while the unit is 'off.' The downside of this speedier processer is that it has a greater thirst for electrons.

We assume, however, that there is a plus side to this, namely a more powerful processer for faster route calculations. One change of note is that battery life has been shortened from 5 to 4 hours. It now uses a microSD card rather than a standard SD card. The 2×5 series doubles the number of waypoints/favorites/locations you can store, from 500 to 1,000. No more long waits at the curb until the GPS is ready. This gives the device an idea of where it should look for satellites, and dramatically decreases the time it takes for your Garmin to get its position and start navigating. they should be the next time you turn it on. With HotFix, your GPS remembers (for up to 3 days) the orbital position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, predicting where they should be when you next power it up, dramatically reducing the time it takes your GPS to fix your position and start navigating. Geeks call it 'Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction.' Whatever you decide to call it, you’ll find it to be another key enhancement found in the 2×5 series. Shorter battery life than 200 series (4 hours versus 5) Great value includes many features found in more expensive models The 205 and 205W do not include text-to-speech. The 255 and 255W include text-to-speech capability which reads street names aloud, keeping your eyes on the road, not on the GPS.

Simply find a restaurant or other location you want to visit on Google Maps or Mapquest and specify 'send to GPS' and the location will automatically transfer to your GPS when connected to your computer. It also lets you see your exact latitude and longitude coordinates.īorrowing a feature from its top-of-the-line 800 series, the 2×5 series includes the ability to send addresses to your GPS directly from Google Maps or Mapquest. The nuvi 2×5 series includes Garmin’s 'Where Am I?' safety feature which helps you find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. If saving money on gas is important to you, the MSN service provides both the ability to avoid traffic and find the least expensive fuel.

(Receivers sold separately and require a subscription.) MSN Direct provides traffic and weather updates, fuel prices, movie listings, local events info, and more. While the 200 series did not provide traffic capability, even as an upgrade, the 2×5 series does, providing compatibility for both FM-TMC traffic and MSN Direct services, giving you a choice of services for real-time traffic monitoring. Fortunately, the changes are truly enhancements, including the display of the posted speed limit for the road you’re traveling on (where available). The 2×5 series tucks numerous into the same sleek exterior of the 200 series, including a new and improved user interface for what we already considered the car GPS world’s simplest and most intuitive interface. Note that the nuvi 205W and 255W are wide-body versions of the nuvi 205 and 255 respectively, but are otherwise identical.
