Product Description
The 5-inch nüvi 2460LT is preloaded with mapping for all of Europe (44 countries), has premium traffic avoidance for the lifetime of the unit and advanced navigation features including automatic speech recognition, PhotoReal™ junction view and nüRoute technology predictive routing.
It’s so easy to operate, not only does it tell you where to turn but it responds to your spoken menu or navigation commands. With innovative speech recognition, you can control this nüvi with your voice while keeping both hands on the wheel. Simply wake up the sat nav with your customisable voice command, then speak the menu option you require from the options clearly displayed on the screen. Tell nüvi "Find Address" and say where you're going to start navigating.
Premium lifetime traffic avoidance alerts you to traffic delays and roadworks on your planned journey and finds a route around. nüvi’s multi-point route planner automatically sorts multiple destinations into the most efficient route. Text-to-speech speaks upcoming street names on your journey for extra route awareness, letting you keep your eyes on the road, not on the sat nav.
Lane Assist shows the correct lane choice for upcoming junctions and motorway exits – so there’s no need to panic, hesitate or make last-minute lane changes, even on unfamiliar routes. PhotoReal™ junction view adds accurate landscape detail and road signs for upcoming exits and junctions for exceptional clarity of detail down to the exact trees and pylons!
nüRoute myTrends learns your driving habits and recognises your favourite destinations to predict where you're going - saving time otherwise spent activating your route. With trafficTrends, nüvi 2460LT automatically learns traffic flow trends reported by other drivers to improve your routes and better estimate your time of arrival based on time of day and day of week. So whether you’re driving to and from work or a regular weekly event, nüvi 2460LT will help you get there on time.
With built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, microphone and speaker, nüvi 2460LT can sync with your mobile phone for safer hands-free calling. Access your call log and phone directory via the sat nav screen and answer incoming calls with a tap of your finger. The integrated unique Cyclops™ safety camera warning system gives real-time, direction-relevant and accurate alerts with overspeed warning as you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile, variable limit and temporary safety cameras. nüvi 2460LT also contains speed limits for all major routes and you can manually correct and update road speeds and share any changes with other users via USB.
Multi-route preview shows available routes on the map for visual comparison before selecting your preferred journey and the ecoRoute™ fuel-saver feature helps you save money and fuel and reduce your carbon footprint with the option to follow the ‘less fuel’ route to your destination. ecoRoute also helps you to develop more efficient driving habits, calculates trip cost and enables accurate expense reporting.
Experience complete door-to-door navigation with nüvi 2460LT’s pedestrian navigation. Purchase optional cityXplorer mapping to include directions for places you wouldn't be accessing while in your car, including footpaths and shortcuts through parks. It also tells you where to catch trains, buses and tubes (dependent on the city) and how long it will take you to reach your destination. cityXplorer even contains public transport timetables so ensure you arrive at the station on time and avoid long waits and delays (dependent on the city). When continuing the journey on foot, nüvi 2460LT uses Park Position Recall to automatically mark and help you navigate back to the place you park – ideal when leaving your vehicle on an unfamiliar road or busy retail complex.
The Where am I? emergency locator is a helpful safety feature if you break down or need a local service urgently. Simply tap the car icon on the map screen to view your exact coordinates, nearest address and junction and get contact details for vehicle recovery services and directions to hospitals, police and petrol stations nearby.
Please note: The In car charging cable fits into the active car mount, not the GPS unit.
