Garmin nüvi GPS Personal Travel Assistant
Sep 14 2005, 12:23pm EST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Garmin seems to have acted fast enough to fend off the small slick Korean multi-functional handheld GPS navigation units that have been popping up lately.
The Garmin nüvi (yes their is an ü) is supporting Language translation guides and travel guides along with navigation. Other features are Picture Viewer for displaying digital photos, a World Travel Clock, Currency and Measurement Converter, and Calculator.
The Garmin nüvi is not bigger than a deck of playing cards and features a 3.5 inch screen. In Europe, customers can purchase one of eight regional map coverage areas (the nüvi 300), or opt for full European mapping (the nüvi 350). North American versions include pre-loaded maps of the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The European version of the nüvi is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2005. The nüvi is sold with a suction cup mount and 12-volt adapter, AC power cable, PC/USB cable, owner’s manual, and quick reference guide. The Garmin Language Guide and the Garmin Travel Guide are sold separately.
More details on the Garmin nuvi product page (Thanks Larry R.).
