Introducing the nuvi: A
versatile travel assistant that's approximately the size
of a deck of playing cards.The nuvi is a portable GPS
navigator, travelers reference, and digital
entertainment system, all in one. Combined with detailed
maps, the nuvi provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn
voice directions, and finger-touchscreen control making
it easy to find your way anywhere.
Travel Kit
The nuvi 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.
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 users fingertips.
Travelers can use the nuvi to navigate to an address
or search points of interest (POIs) - places like hotels,
restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nuvi
automatically calculates the fastest route and provides
voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. If users stray off course, the nuvi
automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on
track.
The nuvi 300 and 310 come with 415MB of
internal memory for storage of supplemental maps, MP3s,
and audio books (available from
Audible.com). 241MB
of this memory is already used for Australian maps, POIs,
voice and other system files. This leaves approx 173MB
for your own files, eg MP3s, language guides etc.
