The Active Lane Assistant equal. It was really never been so easy to find the right lane as this unit. It shows not only how much mitaufend at turning lanes there. No, it also proposes which species should be classified in order to make the curve even further right moves and not the next street missed or have to make dangerous lane changes.
Spoken turn by turn as with "Real Directons" I only know from personal conversations with colleagues when the time to explain my way. For example, at the next traffic light turn left or right at the stop sign. Class Garmin. There you can really think of you something good.
The next two futures are even better.
This would on the one hand the "real" voice control. I really call times real voice control. One need no longer touch the Navi. They say only "Spachbefehl", thereby activating the language program of Navis. This works surprisingly well. One need not take long any commands to memorize such as at TomTom. Especially handy I find the Favourites Search by voice command. It only says: Navigate me to a favorites and then only need to say the name of the favorite and off you go. This time there were before. However, with Navigon (long long ists her)
Then there's the new digital traffic by Nokia Here. That's really good. Garmin gets from over 160 sources Information on the traffic situation. Even the TomTom I have read. Really. The legendary traffic information from TomTom flow among others in the traffic information with a Garmin. That's because TomTom has sold these anonymously. By DAB + network, these messages come very quickly to the Navi. There is talk of up to 2000 possible messages every 60 seconds. But as far as it is not natural. But it is possible. Since the frequency of which is equal to Garmin DAB + in Germany need the Navi is not constantly dial again and so also collects traffic information from all over Germany and pastes it into the route calculation. This means that when I start in Flensburg and wants to Munich and close to Munich's just been a landslide, making a highway impassable gets the Navi this info already in Flensburg and can be widely been looking for a bypass route. At TomTom, for example, there is such information "only" about 100km before you are at the site and then it can for an ordinary bypass may already be too late. If I have all experienced on several occasions. I drive a TomTom GO1015 Live. But both Navis to do nothing for the surrounding area. I am mainly in the Rhine-Ruhr go. Since these Navis can live fully. But it still does not come around congestion around because everything is just too close to each other. But I do not want because they are worth more gold easily without it. This makes the this information they are coming in via the Garmin DAB + network also vain. With TomTom I have to pay 50 per year, although then the radar detector is not included. This one has it for purchase at Garmin. And the cost sometimes just 30 Euros. So again almost at par.
If DAB and Smartphone Link be used simultaneously carried out the reception of traffic information primarily via DAB +, it is only in the areas where the DAB + reception tears off, fall back link to the traffic data of smartphone. Because DAB + and Smartphone Link provide identical traffic data, are in this way traffic data in real time anywhere available without this permanent increases the data volume of the smartphone to complete. What kind of traffic data is being transmitted, can be recognized that in the Quick menu in the map display during Verkehrsicon either "DAB" or "L" can be found. For this I would like to note that it just in the areas where the DAB + reception varies the Navi always jumping between DAB + and Smartphone Link back and forth. It forgets DAB + already collected traffic data but again and starts every time to look at new. This is annoying and disturbing. Since you can decide about the device not "only" for the Smartphone Link I use now a cable with one DAB + not receiving. This device does not jump back and forth and you have throughout the Live service. Garmin has notified me that is working on this problem.
By the way. After the first start took the search for the digital channel about 90 seconds. Now that the Navi has him it will take about 15-45 seconds until after the restart has the transmitter and again until the information downloaded a few seconds. Great.
Unfortunately, the DAB + network is still not quite developed throughout Germany. This makes it sometimes aborts. The Garmin examined but then immediately a TMC or TMC stations. So one never goes so very ohen traffic information. At TomTom, there are sometimes in front of the servers fails. Because then you get nothing. And there's a very big difference between the two major in the market. The GPS receiver from Garmin is a lot better and also does not break at every major bridge from the same as with TomTom. I've only now experienced it again in Cologne. Since I am with my TomTom on the A1 just before the intersection Köln-south through the tunnel and have lost the GPS. Since the cross just past the tunnel is it so fast the signal is not found again and I promptly drove wrong. One should just turn my head they are going to say, but it was only a very small place to which I had and was nowhere mentioned on the signs and so I have disoriented. I'm then probably eventually arrived there too, but with almost 20km detour because the next exit was to go as far as to call. The Garmin me is something not yet happened.
The DAB + reception is constant in the metropolitan areas. Constant good. At the fringes of it is then often a bit weaker, but the sender is kept well. With digital, it's just the way that one has the transmitter or not. As with the TV. Noise or bad no longer exists.
The chart is currently unchallenged the best thing on the market. Actually, she's too good for a Navi. One is always tempted to look on Navi's. What you actually do not want.
I highly recommend this Navi Recommend unreservedly and would buy me any time yourself again.
