Consumer review (newegg.com)

Garmin got this one right

 

I would guess if you don't ever use the unit, or leave it in the sun in your vehicle all day, the battery will be compromised. This goes for any electronics with Li-ion batteries, so hard to believe people knock it down for this.

Large screen, large text. Easy to read, even without glasses, even in bright sunlight. Power cord attaches to the mount, not the unit directly, which is a huge plus, and the mount disconnect button system is really good. Directions are optimal 99% of...

This is my fourth GPS unit, and easily the best one I've ever had (versus other Garmin/TomTom). They could have made getting to Recent or Favorite routes easier/faster, but this is a very minor thing.

Happy with our purchase

 

We were so happy with our first Garmin that we purchased another one. My son uses his everyday for work and loves it

The app on his phone doesn't work with the Garmin very well.

ETA and Live Traffic Update stopped after 1 year

 

This is my third Garmin GPS unit. I like the bigger screen and the speed is acceptable. It links up to the web update service quite easily.

After one year the ETA (Estimated Arrival Time) feature plus the Lifetime Traffic Update stopped dead while on the road in Tennessee. I want the basic required ETA display/info back on my machine at the very least. If it takes another software then I...

Disappointed

 

Bought the 2797LMT in May 2013, and used it once that year for one day to guide me in locating houses that I was looking to buy. Upon returning home I put the 2797LMT back in the its box and placed it in my chifferobe. This month, Aug. 2014, took the...

Nothing ...nothing at all.

Never did work

Early Death Battery Not Covered by Warranty

 

After less than 6 months, the internal lithium-polymer battery (part # 361-00066-00) in my Garmin 2797 LMT died. Garmin's 12 month Limited Warranty is lame and excludes "consumable parts, such as batteries", which is poor for a unit that costs $250. I...

Overall, quite a good GPS device

Poor warranty terms and lack of spares on Garmin's website.

Alternative GPS to Factory Units

 

This is definitely a very nice and way cheaper alternative to any vehicles factory GPS option. I've used a few Garmin units in the past and they continue to deliver exceptional value. I would like to see that they bring back the password protection...

Massive screen size, Free Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates, easy software interface, smartphone integration, informative display, accurate traffic update, user friendly and reasonably priced.

Display not as sharp, no case, no password protection

Garmin nuvi 2797LMT

 

Larger screen size is easy to read. Map update works great. Hands free voice activation is well worth having.

Larger size might block some of your view if used in a smaller vehicle. This thing is the size of a small tablet...!
