Nuvi 2557 does this model have a ding when approaching a turn

No it does not but....the nice lady tells ya..."Approaching, your turn on the left" about every 5 seconds until you get to the turn... :-)

No. But my friend has the one that does, and I notice it pronounces street names poorly, so I don't think its a huge advantage. The 330 will display the street name for the next turn, on at top of screen, thats good enough for me.

I beleive there is a delay and it will only alert if there's motion from my experience. I'm not using it right now because of too much traffic so I can't be too specific. So intentionally no.

The unit utilizes NavTeq for navigation. I have had units made by Garmin and Magellan; this one works just as well, if not better. Like all the others, the navigation will sometimes have you take unnecessary turns rather than instructing you to make a u-turn, depending on which direction your vehicle is pointing when navigation begins. This unit recognizes some connector streets that the others somehow don't recognize. I am satisfied with the navigation.

Yes it does it walks you right to where you are going.It warns you ahead of time for your up-coming turns. I tis a great GPS. It well worth the money.

There are lots of contradicting answers on the multiple threads. I spoke with Garmin Support and he recommended the 2577 SPECIFICALLY for this reason. The online description ( https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/2013-line/nuvi-2577lt/prod122520.html ) also lists both maps.William - If yours did not, it seems you overpaid because the 2597 is the same device at less money PLUS it has Lifetime Maps. Chas / Mark / D. - Do all of you have the device and physically confirmed it doe not have Europe? Again, this is counter what Garmin said to me about 1hr ago.

In general, no. I use it every day and I have only noticed it "bouncing" when going over a bumpy road or potholes.

There is a setting to adjust the sound of the GPS voice and the music does go down when there are directions to be spoken but be aware that the GPS SUCKS!!! It tells me you have reached your destination on the left and it's either a mile or so up the road or it gives the wrong side. I have had nothing but problems with it, I should have just stuck with my Garmin. TERRIBLE!!!

Actually, I answered this question just a few minutes ago without realizing that I don't own THIS particular model (RV9165T-LM 7-inch RV). I own the Roadmate 4255-T (I think that's the model...may be the 4245). So I guess the voice prompts to make a turn being LATE (after the turn SHOULD have been made or after the turn was ALREADY made) is not a model specific problem...it's a Magellan issue in general!

yes it does have traffic alert and gives you alternate routes, the volume is adjustable but I'm not sure if it is lower that the others, I'm sure you could mute just the GPS

Not that I'vee ever seen. Sounds like you need something like a Garmin nuvi built for truckers.

No traffic alerts. It does a real time pop up animation when you approach a fork in most larger freeways. And yes gps volume control is available.

None of the bicycle Garmins call out turns, however it does beep to alert you to upcoming turns and then displays the turn-by-turn directions. Be aware that when you buy this,or any other Edge series Garmins that, in addition to the device, you will need to buy or upload maps for your particular region (i.e. Western U.S., Eastern U.S., etc.). These are best purchased or downloaded from RideWithGPS.com rather than Garmin. Although I traded my Touring Plus in for the 810 model, I've found this GPS indispensable and wouldn't tour without one now. I used it recently in Switzerland after uploading the maps for that region and never got lost as long as I was paying attention to it.

Our Garmin doesn't, but I have to tell you that we love it and wouldn't be without it. I love the double screen when you get to the highway signs and it is hard to figure out which one to follow -- no more since we bought this Garmin. Love it. Judy

I don't have this unit, but my Blackberry with Telenav only announces the name of a street that I am to turn or veer onto.... don't think you want your GPS announcing the name of every cross street you come to. Would be pretty annoying.

It supposedly does but it is not clear how accurate the traffic is. Sometimes it says lots of traffic and it's fine. All in all this GPS is so disappointing and now sitting in my closet. Not good.
