Convenient Crossover Navigation
If you've ever wished for a single unit that could guide you on the drive to the park, on the hike in the park, and up the river to the next park, the 2500T is the GPS system for you. The large, easy-to-read, 3.5-inch diagonal touch-screen is ideal for either showing you the best route to a new restaurant or keeping you on-track during your next outdoor excursion. Simple touch-screen menus make it easy to select virtually any destination and get turn-by-turn voice and visual guidance on the road. Or you can take the 2500T on your next hike, mark waypoints along the way and save the route to go again next weekend. Detailed built-in street maps of North America and light topographic maps of North America help ensure that you'll never get lost again, no matter where your travels take you.

Advanced Auto Navigation
The 2500T gives you the tools you need to make sure your next car trip is as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. Advanced auto navigation features include multi-destination routing, which is ideal for vacations; SmartDetour to route you around slow freeway traffic; and SayWhere text-to-speech, which tells you both where to turn and the name of the street to turn on. If you miss a turn, or suddenly find yourself stuck in traffic, the 2500T will save you time and stress by automatically recalculating your route. Powerful and reliable, this system runs on a high performance battery that offers up to eight hours of use so you can search points of interest and plan your trip with ease. Once you're on the road, you can take advantage of the optional TrafficKit accessory, which makes it easy to avoid traffic with Real-time incident reports. (Note: subscription required for traffic reports).

Easy Outdoor Routing
Its sleek and rugged design makes the 2500T easy to take with you wherever you go. The included SportsGuard provides added armor to enhance this system's endurance during outdoor use. As you take on new adventures, you can even add detailed regional topographic or marine maps via Secure Digital memory cards. And whether you're traveling in the car or on foot, you can enhance your trip by listening to music and viewing pictures whether you're in the car or on a mountain trail.

Average Rating :

Rating : - OK until it broke
The good news is that the unit is small, portable, and has a decent battery life. The outdoor navigation feature (with very basic topo maps) seems to work, but the method of saving tracks is awkward (rather than naming your track first, you need to remember to name it and stop writing to it after your hike).

I use it mainly for vehicle navigation, and it works reasonably well. It does sometimes come up with non-optimal routes (compared to Google, or my own knowledge), and the maps seem to be quite out of date. It gives directions as if all roads are straight (not true in New England), and in many cases going "straight" means turning, and "turn left" means go straight (because the road turns right). It also comes up with arbritrary "go straight" messages on the highway. Entering addresses is tedious. One enters the city, then has a choice of all the states that the city occurs in - The idea that you are probably looking for close-by cities never occurred to anyone.

The bad news (for me at least) is that almost exactly to the day I brought it (so it's out of warranty), the power socket broke off. I opened it up (since according to the website I'm on my own for fixing it, and I can fix some things) and found that the power socket was top-mounted - I.E. the only thing holding it was a few blobs of solder - the lugs don't pass through the circuit board as they do for almost every electronic thing I've looked at. Basically I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. The customer service website is a joy. To obtain a return authorization, one enters info, and then is prompted for the same info again and again!
