Unique Speed Cameras

Garmin’s unique Cyclops™ speed cameras are built in, giving real-time, reliable and accurate alerts, overspeed warning and speed limit information as you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile, variable limit and temporary safety cameras.

Find Fuel-efficient Routes

nüvi 2460LT saves you fuel and money with ecoRoute - Garmin’s innovative green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. You can choose to take the “less fuel” option as a routing preference and when selected, nüvi will determine if a more fuel efficient route exists based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data. ecoRoute helps you develop more efficient driving habits, calculates trip cost and enables accurate expense reporting too.

Complete Door-to-Door Navigation

With pedestrian navigation capabilities, bright display and sleek, portable design, nüvi 2460LT is the perfect travel companion in and out of the car.
