Garmin nuvi Gets Personal at a Low Price, Bringing nuRoute Technology to Entry-Level Devices

"Mixing business with pleasure, the feature-filled 2200 and 2300 products prove there's a nuvi for every lifestyle and every budget," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "At work, at home and on vacation, we're all trying to do more with less, and these nuvis can help you save time, save money and save gas every day, on every trip."

For the busy parent or college student focused on multi-tasking and making the most of every minute and dollar, the nuvi 2200 series with a 3.5" touchscreen interface fits easily into a pocket or purse, features easy-to-use multi-stop routing to plan daily errands and activities, and includes Garmin's ecoRoute fuel-efficient navigation to help drivers conserve fuel and money along the way (www.garmin.com/ecoroute). For those everyday trips, nuvi 2200 models automatically remember your frequent favorite destinations and use myTrends to predict your destination without you needing to activate a route, displaying your travel time and best route. For vacations, nuvi 2200 models' enhanced pedestrian mode can provide public transit options through optional cityXplorer content. Available for many major cities and areas at www.garmin.com, cityXplorer helps you navigate like a local by foot or using a combination of buses, metro and suburban rail systems.

For the jet-set professional heading across town or across the world, nuvi 2300 models feature a widescreen 4.3" touchscreen display that lets users preview multiple routes. Cross-country travelers and commuters alike will appreciate the high-end features of the nuvi 2360LT without the high-end price tag. Wherever their appointments take them, nuvi 2360LT owners can go hands-free with Bluetooth wireless technology and compatible phones, or get efficient routing and realistic arrival times with trafficTrends, which recommends routes using historical data and recurring trends that Garmin has collected about traffic in your area at any given time of day. Many of the new nuvi models even feature free lifetime traffic alerts, denoted by the "LT" in the product name.

The dual orientation of nuvi 2360LT is ideal for use while driving or walking, as it lets users see their preloaded maps and intuitive menus in landscape or portrait modes. And the road ahead comes to life with nuvi 2360LT through 3D terrain and shaded topography that provides unrivaled context and situational awareness. When driving, travelers with nuvi 2360LT and other compatible nuvis can tap into ecoRoute HD, an easy-to-install device that transforms nuvi into a real-time diagnostic computer. This not only provides fuel and mileage reports, but you get more accurate fuel consumption/conservation data by tapping into the vehicle's diagnostic system.

All of the newly announced models in the 2200 series and 2300 series feature millions of preloaded points of interest and turn-by-turn directions with spoken street names, and certain models feature a speed limit indicator that displays speed limits for most major roads and alerts drivers who are exceeding the limit. Preloaded mapping is also enhanced as North American coverage (2250, 2250LT, 2350, 2350LT and 2360LT) includes Mexico. Coverage of the lower 48 states (2200, 2300) now also includes Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Grand Bahama Island, Nassau and the Cayman Islands. The transatlantic model, nuvi 2370LT, includes detailed mapping for North America and Europe.
