The Garmin Nuvi GPS: Your Personal Assistant
Posted in GPS Articles, GPS Reviews, GPS Tips by admin No CommentsHave you always wanted an assistant? Maybe you have one at the office, but you are not allowed to get your assistant to organize your life outside of the office. Here’s good news: the Garmin Nuvi 680 GPS Bluetooth Automotive Navigation System will act as your own personal travel assistant and it will never ask for the day off.
The Nuvi 680 comes with preloaded maps, hands-free calling and an FM transmitter. Your Nuvi 680 also comes with a free trial of MSN Direct so you can avoid traffic, check the weather, find the cheapest gas and check movie times. You can take the MSN Direct receiver with you, so that way you can connect to your unit from various locations.
Like any good assistant, the Nuvi 680 does its best to anticipate your needs. Its preloaded City Navigator NT has a robust points of interest (POIs) database that will give you the skinny on the places you want to go. You can also input your own points of interest and set up alerts to remind you that you are approaching one of your POIs, be it a chic restaurant or safety camera.
It also knows how to keep you amused, as assistants sometimes have to do. The Nuvi 680 has an MP3 player, audio book player and JPEG picture viewer. And if you like to have highly educated assistants, you’ll appreciate the optional plugin SD cards let you add additional features like language translation and detailed travel guides.
Like a good assistant, the Garmin Nuvi 680 resists being wooed away by others who are looking for help. It has a Garmin Lock anti-theft feature.
