This new 2015 Garmin nüvi series of street navigators feature 480 x 272 pixel, 5-inch screens and an amazing array of features for the price. As with all stand-alone navigators, these units have the maps and points-of-interest (POI) data stored in internal memory and are not dependent on a data connection, unlike a cell phone. This means you’ll have navigation guidance anywhere the unit can see the sky, even in remote areas far from cell towers.
Some of the features: Garmin “Real Directions” gives spoken directions in relation to nearby landmarks, such as “turn left after the gas station.” Foursquare adds millions of new POIs, and “Direct Access” guides you into parking lots and makes it easier to find a specific shop within a large shopping mall. Junction view shows you a picture of upcoming exits, with an arrow in the correct lane- really useful for multi-lane exits. School zone warnings give you advance notice of special speed limit zones and school crosswalks.
All of these nüvi’s are compatible with the Garmin BC 30 Wireless Backup Camera
The 57 series includes maps and POI’s of the lower 49 states, while the 58 series adds Alaska and Canada. The base 57 and 68 models have maps that can be updated by purchasing updates as desired, while LM models have free lifetime map updates, and the LMT models also have free lifetime traffic.
