The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen
gives you 70% more actual screen area than a
3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates
into a better view of the area through which
you are driving. This is especially useful
in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM,
gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting
you know whether a detour is a good idea.
Also, the device itself is larger, meaning
controls on the screen are more widely
spaced and somewhat easier to push.
Smart, Powerful Design nüvi is built with a
high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme
accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for
storing your media and additional navigation
tools, and a USB interface for loading data.
All this is wrapped up in a package that
measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D)
and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display
is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to
control the device with your fingertips. A
rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up
to five hours of battery life depending on
use.

Data
nüvi comes ready to go right out of the box
with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps
for the continental United States, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico, including a hefty database
of more than 6 milliong points of interest (POIs),
such as hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and
more, that are searchable by name or
category. Simply touch the color screen to
enter a destination, and nüvi takes you
there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn
voice directions. Garmin gets its map data
from NAVTEQ, a world leader in
premium-quality mapping. In addition, the
nüvi accepts custom (POIs), such as school
zones and safety cameras and lets you set
proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming
POIs

Due to our high volume of sales, almost
every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by
Amazon.com will come with the most recent
map version. If you ever do need a map
update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com
at our Garmin Store.
