Garmin nüvi 860: one navigation system, six languages

idealo: Voice controlled navigation systems?offer more safety while driving. Garmin?recently introduced a new promising and talkative model. According to the manufacturer, nearly all of the Garmin nüvi 860’s functions can be activated with the right word, in any of six different languages. The navi is a little magical box. “Find me the closest Italian restaurant”, commands the driver and already the device has listed a selection of restaurants.

At least that is how the manufacturer describes it. If one loses their orientation despite the modern technology, simply asking “Where am I?”, will pinpoint the driver’s location. The formidable linguist understands English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch. The voice control can be activated via the remote control?fastened on the steering wheel. The Navi saves up to ten routes and automatically produces a route protocol. That way one can retrace the route they just drove.

The user can not only navigate by speaking, but also by accessing the databank with special destinations like hotels or museums. The Garmin nüvi 860 communicates via Bluetooth?with many mobile phones, making it also usable as a hands free device. A music player?for MP3, Ogg and Flac formats, a display, and preinstalled games provide extra entertainment. The Garmin Lock protects the Navi from thieves.
