Knowing where to go, or having assistance in doing so, avoids numerous cuts and bruises and otherwise dented vehicles while scrambling for a map in the glove compartment, or pulling the map from your face with your car window open while driving… fortunately, there is the new Garmin nüvi 700 series satellite navigation system just released. The user interface is intuitive and offers an easy navigation experience. Plus, the unit also offers traffic warnings to advise you of congestion awaiting you as well as safety camera alerts for mobile and fixed cameras.
Included with the 700 series is a free, lifetime subscription to traffic services so you can avoid all of the congestion on the roadway and find alternative routes via the satnav. The patented Cyclops technology is used to provide highly accurate safety camera alerts for all of their satnav systems. You may also input as many as 200 destinations in one route for advanced trip planning. If you run a delivery fleet or have a number of sales folk, this is a great time AND fuel saver. The 700 series has a 10,000-point track-log that acts just like a breadcrumb trail, only digital…the system remembers exactly where you’ve been! You can even view your route after you’ve completed your journey using Google Earth and other applications.
The Garmin nüvi 700 has a built-in FM transmitter so you can wireless transmit directions, telephone calls (on some phone models), or MP3s through your car stereo. On the Garmin nüvi 710, 760 and 770, Bluetooth wireless technology allows for hands-free calling when paired with compatible phones. Other goodies include bright, sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch color touch screen display and a high-sensitivity internal GPS antenna for easy car mounting and for carrying around with you. Plus, there is a choice of keyboard style between Qwerty or alphabetical. The 770 has mapping for the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States with Bluetooth. Other models are with, or sans, Bluetooth and offer various maps. See the company’s website for further details at https://www.garmin.co.uk—Southampton, United Kingdom
