Garmin 3598LMT-D

I'm debating whether or not to upgrade to this device, but have seen a lot of people complaining about this unit and it's constant grey screens and freezing.

So are users still experiencing major issues with this device?

I went for the 2597LMT and so far its been rock solid.

However, I tend not to use the navigation side as I use the built in Alpine unit in my Honda. The latest colour scheme seems a 'marmite' option as some like it and some don't. Personally I prefer the darker colours.

What I reckon is the best bit is the Smartlink feature that links my phone to the unit and shows what is so far a very accurate traffic display.

If it's any help here is the latest Which? SatNav review best buy's:

1) Garmin 3597LMT (90%)
2) Garmin 2797LMT (88%)
3) Garmin 2598LMT-D (87%)
4) TomTom Via 135M (84%)
5) TomTom Go 400 EU 45 (75%)

thanks I will probably be going for the 3598LMT-D due to the features, etc

i have been using sygic on mobile, but the past 3 updates have not fixed the many bugs in it and have decided to go back to a dedicated PND.

I've been using the 3598 for the last 8 months without any problems whatsoever.

On my old 2200 the overspeed 'bongs' were hardly noticeable. On this 2597 I've turned that feature off because they are far too loud IMO.

Can't win !
