Capacitive display
The display on the nüvi 2789LMT use the capacitive touchscreen technology, just like modern smartphones. This allows you to easily pinch and zoom and touch the display gently. Some other GPS devices in the same price category also have a touchscreen but aren't capacitive (such as the TomTom GO LIVE 1535M) and are a lot harder to control as a result.

Clumsy category system for places of interest
The TomTom features a search function for Places of Interest (POI's), such as restaurants, entertainment venues and fuel stations. These locations are spread in different categories, but searching for them can be quite annoying due to a clumsy category system. For example, restaurants can all be found under one and the same category, which makes it tedious if you're looking for a specific type of restaurant.

Can create some GSM interference
Because the GO LIVE 1535M uses the cellular GSM network, some interference through the speakers of your car may occur, resulting in annoying static and buzz sounds.
