New Improvements For 2013 Further Extend The Features Of The Garmin Nuvi Range

Online, September 5, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Garmin sat navs have undergone a number of changes in 2013 that have helped further cement their place as arguably the best quality sat navs on the market. They have increased the amount of information displayed on screen, improved their traffic services, offer a highly praised powered magnetic mount, and also offer access to Garmin Express. Directions and navigation instructions have also been improved, and the company has announced the upcoming release of the navigation HUD.

Information Display

One area where reviewers previously believed that TomTom had the upper hand was in the amount and clarity of information that was displayed on the Garmin screen but this has been extended and expanded upon. The screen now contains information such as journey time, road name, speed limit, and the next navigational instruction.

Traffic

Traffic was another area where TomTom was preferred to Garmin Nuvi but that is changing. HD Digital Traffic is currently found in the Prestige range and with it, traffic updates are sent to your navigator every 30 seconds. The navigation system then determines which areas will be suffering the worst traffic and how best to avoid them while still continuing on with the desired journey. There's even voice integration and voice command features on some of the Garmin Nuvi models.

Powered Magnetic Mount

The powered magnetic mount has won a lot of praise from reviewers and consumers alike. It negates the need to plug the navigation system itself into the car so wires come from the mount instead. What's more, it uses magnetic strips to ensure that the Nuvi is kept firmly and accurately in place while it's being used.

Real Directions And Lane Guidance

The Real Directions feature offers more intuitive and sensible directions to the driver. Rather than road names and numbers, navigation uses markers and landmarks for easier identification. Lane Guidance ensures that drivers know exactly which lane to use at junctions, and includes real photos with overlaid, brightly coloured arrows. This not only means that drivers take the right turn off but that they are in the best and most appropriate lane too.

Garmin Express

Users can download Garmin Express software and then use this to quickly and easily manage subscriptions or pay for new subscriptions to services like Traffic and Camera updates. Garmin Express also allows users to download new graphics that can be used to further enhance the look and features of the navigation system software.

HUD

One new feature that is still rolling out of the warehouse is a Heads Up Display for Garmin Nuvi navigation systems. The display receives navigation information from a smartphone and then beams it onto a transparent strip on the car windshield. The display is automatically adjusted to ensure that it is easily visible during the day and night. A HUD offers safer and more futuristic looking navigation as well as access to information like the speed limit for a current road and while lane to use.
