great Navi with modern design

1. Design:

Übetr beauty can indeed strreiten known. But it is clear that this is a modern design was chosen the rather reminiscent of a smart phone or an I-Pad. In other words, the part is flat and rectangular. Also still pretty easy. It fits so easily into the Sacko.

However, I would not get too close grab it on my credit card because it really is never really out, and you never know how the magnetic stripe of the card on those devices respond.

All in all I think that's part but still quite chic.

2. Ease of use:

The Nüvi needed in my opinion no more manual. Who has time cleared the first hurdle, namely the turning, so is coming along well. The menu navigation is simple and logical aufgebgaut. The touch screen responds quickly and accurately. He could respond in any state something sensiebler to touches. During the trip, but that is perfect as it is.

Garmin has the Nuvi next to the touch screen even donated a voice command, the same studied her. Yet none of my previous device has as good on voice responds like this Nüvi. That saves while driving in most cases the paw of the device with your fingers. An absolute security plus !!!

3. Maps:

Like all Garmin is also this feature NAVTEQ maps. The cards are current and accurate. By Long live update (which I highly recommend) because nothing will probably change.

4. Accuracy when navigating:

The point of the well-recognized important in Navi. The Navigtion.

The Nüvi calculates its routes to length, speed limits and traffic. This works beautifully and easily. Thanks to TMC also current traffic reports into account quickly and automatically. Like me as a user, the proposed route does not satisfy a short note and the nüvi calculates an alternative. Also it works perfect.

Both the display and the voice leading are clear and easy on the eyes and ears.

The accuracy is about 9 m. But that could be a bit better is neat and usually also sufficient.

Absolute Class I find the Lane Departure Warning System which (even if the device is used tablets on) turns on the split screen mode. This makes driving a lot easier and is really well done.

5. Accessories:

Here, the power supply was already mentioned several times. The plug for the cigarette lighter is in fact bulky as in the previous models. Why the need to be so I can not say. However, it bothers me not particularly. The I tolerate so no points deducted.

Annoying I find there already, that the antenna for the TMC has fallen quite short. Laughed pretty I then using the provided USB cable. The longer by about 10 cm everything suggests what I have pulled from a box. Here Garmin really should follow suit because the (for you the way you buy best a magnifying glass itself) rather limits the user experience when map update and registering.

Aufgegfallen negative further from my Garmin is accompanied no external Nezteil more. The Nuvi can be loaded only on the car or the computer. Both I find but just when the equipment is not operated by car but in pedestrian mode rather stupid. The power adapter can be purchased separately though, but costs also halt immediately extra money. Even the no protective bag is donated bothers me somewhat. This is also the reason for the one point deduction. Garmin would therefore save here at least at its top devices slightly less on customers there would be a perfect score.

CONCLUSION:

A very good Navi, it worked almost perfectly with me. Only the supplied accessories leaves something to be desired.
