Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin
Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, announced the nüvi 2400 series of
personal navigation devices, featuring a large five-inch display and a
new range of optional features like voice-activated navigation, lifetime
traffic and map updates, and advanced route planning and calculation
with Garmin’s nüRoute technology. The nüvi 2400 series will be
showcased in the Garmin booth (South Hall #35831) at this year’s
Consumer Electronics Show.
“The nüvi 2400 series offers drivers some of the most sophisticated and sought-after features available on the market today,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “The large five-inch diagonal display is easy on the eyes, and options like voice activation, traffic alerts, and enhanced route calculation make traveling across town or cross-country easier than ever. And never before have these features been available at such an economical price.”
The nüvi 2400 series is comprised of four models: the nüvi 2460LMT, nüvi 2460LT, nüvi 2450LM, and the nüvi 2450. Models featuring voice activated navigation let users control nüvi by voice, so they can keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Simply wake up nüvi with a customizable voice command and begin speaking menu options that are displayed on the screen. Bluetooth connectivity lets users make and receive phone calls when paired with a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone. Lifetime traffic-enabled models help notify drivers of traffic delays and road construction and suggest detours around them. Units featuring lifetime map updates let users download the most up-to-date maps and points of interest up to four times a year.

All models feature nüRoute with trafficTrends™ and myTrends™
predictive routing. With trafficTrends, nüvi automatically learns
traffic flow trends to improve route calculation and better predict the
estimated time of arrival based on time of day and day of week. With
myTrends, nüvi will, over time, begin to anticipate a route to favorite
destinations as soon as the device is powered up.
The nüvi 2400 series lets consumers customize their unit in new ways as well. Users can give a one- to five-star rating to any point of interest. When the unit is connected to a myGarmin account, they can submit their ratings and receive an updated community database of ratings from other users. Owners can also customize their device’s main menu to display their most-used icons for quick navigation.
