Ex-Display Garmin Sat Navs Halfords

Nice find Op, but too late when I called into the store in castlebar. Also none available in Sligo or Galway.

Cheers op picked up the last nuvi 2599 in coolock, looks like a nice bit of kit for a great price.

Whats difference with the : Ex Display Garmin nuvi 2569LMT-D 5" Sat Nav with UK, Ireland & Western Europe Lifetime Maps and Traffic ?

2599LMT-D comes with full Europe lifetime maps and traffic with HSMC.

Have Garmin started using aircode yet?

Garmin supports Loc8 code since 2010.

It has been reported that the full Eircode database will be in the region of 2GB in size and just to put that in perspective the full Navteq (maps& postcodes) for ALL of Europe are also approximately 2GB. If the database does indeed end up at 2GB then the vast majority of satnav devices already in use will not be able to physically fit the Eircode database and detailed maps of Ireland. So no, no SatNav supports Eircode.

Any opinions on this. Have being looking for a dashcam for a while so two birds with one stone. Could be quite big though? Reviews on Amazon are decent.

I have a Tom Tom sat nav & a Samsung s6. I need 5 to 8 addresses per day. The ones that Tom Tom can't find usually are on Google. Some aren't aren't on Google so I have to use the eircode site. I can get the address sent from eircode.ie to my Tom Tom device.

Also sometimes I try use Google & I have no Internet so the Tom Tom can be a life saver sometimes.

On the phone you can also get free offline navigation with HERE app https://pages.here.com/app/

Lads, put here maps on yer phones.
It's free and is worldwide.
I was surprised by how good it was seeing as its free.
It doesn't have lane assist but anyone that wants that,a sat nav app like Navigon, TomTom will have it.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Fair enough someone who needs to go to 3 + new address's a day like a deliver man or something but the average Joe soap knows where they're going 8/9 times out of 10 and can surely google map the other 1/2 times.

Really surprised these are still being sold tbh. The market for them must have shrunk significantly in recent years with pretty much everyone owning a smart phone at this point.

Most older Garmin devices support SD cards so additional space can be added very cheaply.

Got the dreaded cancellation from Blanch. They said the units were not in a fit state as they were glued onto the display stand and the plastic is damaged. He also said it was an admin error as the display models should not have been made available to order online

I reserved the 58Lm 5" for €70, halfords rang me a hr later saying its ready for collection,
will leave it for now and think about it ,but will it come with box, charger, manuals etc...?
reason my old navman s70 cant be updated, shame cos happy enough with it.
