Portable. Easily move from
vehicle to vehicle. Even fits in your pocket or purse (except
extra large screen nüvi 5000).
nüvi 880 not only tells you where to turn but listens to your spoken
commands. With nüvi’s innovative speech recognition, you safely
control nüvi’s interface with your voice — allowing you to keep both
hands on the wheel. Simply press the button on the remote (which
attaches to the steering wheel) to activate speech recognition and begin
speaking menu options. nüvi even recognizes shortcut phrases for popular
functions. Tell nüvi "Find Address" and speak an address to
start navigating.
In keeping with Garmin’s heritage of elegant user interface design,
the nüvi 880’s speech recognition technology sets the new industry
standard for simple and intuitive use. Users mount a push-to-talk
wireless remote to their steering wheel, which is used to activate voice
commands – no additional setup or “training” is required. Once
activated, the user can effortlessly manipulate controls by speaking the
words that correspond to buttons that are on the touchscreen display, so
that almost any common task can be performed without ever touching the
unit.
Garmin has also streamlined the way users can perform complex points of
interest searches. Driving in an unfamiliar area and hungry for some
spaghetti? Simply say, “find nearest Italian restaurant,”
and you’re offered a menu of nearby pasta purveyors. Use a voice
command to select the establishment of your choice, and the nuvi 800
series gives you turn-by-turn directions to dinner. The nuvi 880 also
knows the names of many large business brands, so a user need only say,
“find place,” then "Starbucks" for a quick caffeine fix.
For the ultimate in safety, a driver may at any time speak the phrase, “where
am I?” and their device will display its exact latitude and
longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the
closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. Speech
recognition can also be used to search for addresses as well – all
hands-free, from start to finish. Speech recognition is available
for American English, British English, European French, European Spanish,
German, Italian, and Netherlands Dutch languages.
Traffic conditions: receive up-to-date traffic incident and flow information for most metropolitan areas* across North America, and let nüvi select a
route that avoids traffic accidents, road closures, and construction
Fuel prices: receive gas price data from over 100,000 gas stations across the nation. Drivers will always know where to get the best prices – and
save time and fuel by using their unit to navigate directly to the station of their choice.
Weather reports: features current weather conditions (including high/low/current temperatures, chances of precipitation, humidity, pressure, wind,
and weather alerts) as well as three day weather forecasts.
Enhanced movie listings: search for movies by title or by theater and receive show times, ‘star’ ratings, genre, actors, and more – and get driving
directions to the theater.
Local events: receive special notices on festivals, concerts, and sporting events in your area, and navigate to them.
News and stocks: the latest news headlines and financial market updates are always at your fingertips.
Send to GPS capability: plan trips and look up destinations from the convenience of your computer, via
Live Search Maps, and then wirelessly
send locations to your nüvi 880
Use Live Search Maps on your computer to:
Look up an address
Search for a business
Plan a trip
Choose your favorite location, and then MSN Direct delivers the
address, phone number, and more straight to your nüvi 880. Visit Live
Search Maps.
With nüvi 880's widescreen display, you'll always get the big
picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright,
brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read
— from any direction.
Navigate With Ease
The Garmin nüvi 880 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded
City Navigator NT street maps and millions
of points of interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations,
ATMs and more. Speak a menu option or touch the color screen to enter a
destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D
maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of
exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In
addition, nüvi 880 accepts custom points of
interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set
proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Where Am I?
Keep track of yourself and your car with nüvi 880. Just speak or tap
"Where Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations,
fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact
latitude and longitude coordinates. nüvi 880 even remembers where
you parked. It automatically marks your position when you remove it
from the windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find
your way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded
lots such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.
Plan Ahead
The Garmin nüvi 880 includes advanced navigational features to
take the worry out of traveling. With route planning you can save 10
routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns
on its wide screen. In addition, nüvi 880 automatically sorts multiple
destinations to provide an efficient route for errands, deliveries or
sales calls. It also displays speed limits for highways and
Interstates. A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of
up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Make Hands-free Calls
Talk about worry-free driving. For hands-free calling, nüvi 880
integrates Bluetooth
wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just
pair it with your compatible
Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the 880 while staying
focused on the road. Simply speak or dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen
keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just speak or tap the screen and speak directly
into its built-in microphone.
Take It With You
nüvi 880's high-sensitivity
internal (non flip-up) antenna gives it a sleeker, thinner design
than other gps units, making it easy to slip in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable
lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or on
foot.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 880 includes many “must
have” entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio
book player (subscription to Audible.com
required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, games,
alarm clock and more. With the included wireless FM transmitter,
you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books, through
your vehicle's stereo. It also includes enhanced
MSN Direct* and comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft
feature, and configurable
vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your
location on the map. Optional plug-in microSD cards let you add additional
features to enhance your travel experience including language
translation and detailed travel guides.
