Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The 5-inch nüvi 2440 is preloaded with City Navigator® NT street maps for 24 countries in Western Europe and has advanced navigation features including PhotoReal™ junction view and nüRoute technology predictive routing.
A 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 provides accurate landscape detail and road signs for upcoming exits and junctions for exceptional clarity 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 2440 automatically learns traffic flow trends and problems 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 2440 will help you get there on time.
nüvi 2440 has the unique Cyclops™ safety camera warning system built in, giving real-time, direction-relevant and accurate alerts and overspeed warning as you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile, variable limit and temporary cameras. It also contains speed limits for all major routes and lets you manually correct and update road speeds, sharing any changes with other users via USB.
Multi-route preview shows available routes to your destination 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 2440’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 to ensure you arrive at the station on time and avoid any delays (dependent on the city). When continuing the journey on foot, nüvi 2440 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 very useful safety feature if you break down or need to find a local service urgently. Simply tap the car icon on the map screen to view your exact coordinates, nearest address and junction, contact details for vehicle recovery services and directions to hospitals, police and petrol stations nearby.

Model:nüvi 2440 - UK and Western Europe|Amazon Verified Purchase
Pros -
1. Easy to use
2. Good to use around London (haven't tried it beyond that but I imagine it's just as good)
3. Bright screen with good instructions for navigation
4. No software issues (yet); no resets so far after using for a month
3. Seems to be build well
Cons -
1. Does not re-navigate fast enough -- can be a little annoying when you need to get your bearings fast enough
2. May not provide the best route -- however this I've found to be a problem generally with most systems and even google maps. I still think you need to know your bearings by using a Collins map finder (very cheap and worth it in my opinion)
3. Does not have options to avoid for e.g. "A routes" or something similar
Overall, for the price I am very satisfied with the device. The fittings and look are very nice.

Model:nüvi 2440 - UK and Western Europe
I have tried several of the new Garmins but this one best fits the bill for me. It has most of the advanced SatNav features of the new range of Garmins at a reasonable price. However, note it doesn't have Traffic info (which can be added as an extra but which has its pit-falls anyway - see other reviews) and this means the power cable for in-car use is slimmer, neater and much less intrusive.
This model works well and does not suffer from the somewhat quirky on/off switch of some of the other new models. It has the larger 5 inch screen and the one supplied to me by Amazon is free of the scratch marks and strange patterns that I noticed under the screen of some other new Garmins. Also, again unlike some others, it came free of any software issues which meant it connected to my PC first time and downloading updates has been straightforward.
So, if you want a good all-round SatNav free of the frills of traffic info and live data (which you can get live from any smartphone without the same subscription fee), then this is definitely one you should seriously consider.

Model:nüvi 2440 - UK and Western Europe
I purchased this Garmin nuvi 2440 sat nav after insisting I would never use one after missing an important junction on a recent trip!!!! Unit is excellent and simple to use. Now I wonder how I ever managed without one.
