Despite being
loaded with features, the nüvi 370 still
allows you to navigate with ease. This unit
comes ready to go right out of the box with
preloaded NavTeq City Navigator NT street
maps for both North America and Europe, and
includes a hefty points of interest (POIs)
database with hotels, restaurants, fuel
stops, ATMs and more. Simply touch the
super-bright, sunlight-readable color screen
to enter a destination, and the 370 takes
you there with either 2D or 3D maps and
turn-by-turn voice directions. This
navigator voice even announces the name of
exits and streets so you never have to take
your eyes off the road, and can concentrate
on your driving to keep yourself and your
loved ones safe. In addition, the 370
accepts custom points of interest (POIs),
such as school zones and safety cameras, and
lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of
upcoming POIs that require your special
consideration such as speed zones and safety
cameras.
Speaking of
keeping you safe, the nüvi 370 lets you make
hands-free calls so you can talk freely
during your worry-free driving. By
integrating Bluetooth wireless technology
with a built-in microphone and speaker, you
can pair your nüvi with any compatible
Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free while
staying focused on the road. You no longer
have to fumble with your phone's handset to
answer a call or dial a number, just tap the
370's screen and you're instantly connected.
And with 1-touch dialing for your POIs, you
can quickly and conveniently call ahead to
make reservations or get needed information.

You can also avoid tie-ups and steer clear
of traffic with the nüvi 370's integrated FM
TMC traffic receiver. This unit allows you
to receive alerts about road construction
and traffic problems that lie ahead on your
route. Simply touch the nüvi's screen to
view traffic details or change your route so
you can detour around the problem area. All
of which can be customized with configurable
vehicle icons that let you choose individual
car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that
show your position on the map.
In additional to
all this functionality, the nüvi 370
includes many must-have entertainment and
travel tools such as an MP3 player, an audio
book player (subscription to Audible.com
required), and a JPEG picture viewer so you
can take your favorite music and pictures
with you wherever you go. This unit also
features a world travel clock with time
zones, a currency converter, a measurement
converter, and a calculator so that wherever
you travel it will be easy to know what you
are getting and keep track of your costs.
The MP3 player lets you browse music by
artist, album, and/or song, while the
optional audio books may be purchased from
Audible.com which features over 70,000 hours
of audio programs. What's more, the nüvi 370
allows further customization via optional
software such as travel guide, savings
programs and language translation on
plug-and-play SD cards for all your travel
needs.
The Garmin nüvi
370 comes with a built-in, high-sensitivity,
WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, and lets you view
and operate it via its bright, LCD TFT
touch-screen display that measures 2.8 x 2.1
inches (W x H) and has a resolution of 320 x
240 pixels with 64,000 colors and a white

use) via its rechargeable lithium-ion
battery, and comes with Garmin Lock, which
is an anti-theft feature to protect your
investment. While you can add software via
the SD card slot, the Garmin nüvi 370 also
