Nüvi is a unique portable GPS navigator, traveller's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. Using on-board mapping data, Nüvi provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touch-screen control.
Travel Kit
Nüvi also offers a travel kit of useful travel tools to help keep any journey fun: MP3 player, audio book player from Audible.com, JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, and calculator.
In addition, optional software packages such as the Language Guide and Travel Guide (sold separately on SD cards) can be added for language and content support. Language Guide Software (optional) Users can access an optional Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The Language Guide lets travellers look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language.
Travel Guide Software (optional)
The new Garmin Travel Guide is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips.
Travellers can use Nüvi to navigate to an address or search points of interest (POIs) - places like hotels, restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. Nüvi automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. Thanks to Nüvi's speech functionality, the unit audibly announces upcoming turns, letting drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.
