Travel Kit™
The
Garmin nüvi
also offers
a travel kit of useful travel tools to help keep any journey fun: MP3 player,
audio book player
from Audible.com, JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time
zones, currency converter, measurement converter, and calculator. In
addition, optional software packages such as the Language Guide and
Travel Guide (sold separately on SD Data cards) can be added for
language and content support.
Language Guide™ software
(optional)
Users
can access an optional Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by
Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual
word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The
multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and
dialects, including American English, British English, French, German,
Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish,
and Latin American Spanish. The Language Guide lets travelers look up
and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language.
Through the unit’s text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken
pronunciation of each entry in the word bank—along with gender and part
of speech information.
Travel Guide™ software
(optional)
The
new Garmin Travel Guide is loaded with information provided by Marco
Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information—such as reviews and
recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more—at the
user’s fingertips.
Travelers can use the nüvi to
navigate to an address or search points of interest (POIs)—places like
hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi
automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted
turn-by-turn directions along the way. Thanks to the nüvi’s
text-to-speech functionality, the unit audibly announces the name of
upcoming streets—letting drivers keep their eyes on the road while
navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. If users stray off
course, the nüvi automatically calculates the quickest way to get back
on track.
