Review of the Garmin Nuvi 880 High-Powered GPS

By Joseph Aaron

The Garmin Nuvi 880 GPS Navigation System offers a comprehensive list of features and functions that boost it to the top tier for any person who wants a top quality GPS system. The system is somewhat operated by voice and also works using the touch screen. The Garmin Nuvi 880 is among the most popular GPS systems on the market today.

Features

The Garmin Nuvi 880 provides quite a few options that cause it to be one of the most high quality GPS systems that you can find. The unit arrives equipped with wireless capabilities, allowing you to talk on the cell phone while driving. There are two front speakers that work with the unit so that you can hear the person you are talking to clearly.

The Nuvi 880 also includes voice recognition capabilities. This hands-free design is perfect for zipping along busy freeways and in cities where you are required to focus all of your attention on the traffic. The FM radio transmitter is also a standard feature and you can real time traffic reports if you want them.

Traffic updates are spoken using your sound system so if you are hearing an MP3 on your Garmin Nuvi 880, the music will be interrupted by the instructions. This helps give you confidence that you will not drive past your turn and that new routes will automatically be at your disposal.

The Garmin Nuvi 880 Automotive GPS Navigator also gives simple-to-follow instructions by referring to the street names instead of the distance you must travel. The voice system is simple to operate and comprehend, especially since all you have to do is key in the end point and the address from which you are beginning your drive to use the system.

Charging Your Nuvi 880

You Nuvi 880 is easily removed so that you can take it anywhere. The battery will hold a charge even away from an outside power source for up to five hours. To power up your Nuvi 880 you can plug it into a cigarette lighter adaptor, your USB cable, or a garden-variety wall socket adaptor.

Adding Maps

The Garmin Nuvi 880 GPS Navigation System ships with maps of North America built in but you may get additional instructions when you need to by downloading the ones you want from the company website. If you are planning to go to a foreign country then you may also need to get a travel guide for the location you are visiting. The travel guide is designed to help you locate fascinating sites in the country and help you find inns, gasoline and other must-haves.

You can save your most well-liked restaurants and ships in the unit, also. This helps you to easily find your favorite foods and items in a new place.

Finding Parking

If you are always misplacing your vehicle after you have parked, you will really appreciate the feature that keeps track of your parking spot. This benefit is part and parcel of your Garmin 880. - 16928
