Features don’t get in the way of simple operation with Garmin’s latest satnav.
The Garmin Nuvi 2599 LMT-D has an unwieldy name, but it looks great with its slim dimensions and 5in glass screen.

It costs half the price of competing high-end satnavs yet it still has a huge feature list including free live traffic updates, free updates for the included Europe-wide maps and, for the first time, Foursquare integration.
Foursquare is the social-media service that lets you “check in” at locations so your followers know where you’ve been. Even if you have no interest in this, having Foursquare built into a satnav is still useful as the service has a database full of useful points of interest such as shops, restaurants and tourist attractions.
The Nuvi 2599’s Digital Traffic feature sends up-to-date traffic and accident information directly to the Nuvi rather than through a paired smartphone as with other satnavs. According to Garmin, it uses DAB radio signals and it updates every minute.
