Key Definitions:

Choice of Route Setup:
With this fun and innovative feature you can customize your travel experience. Easily setup your route on the basis of time, distance or scenery. If you are in a rush you can direct your GPS to give you directions that will get you to your destination as fast as possible. Maybe you are not so concerned about time, but would like to cover less distance. Program you GPS to travel within the city, so you can minimize mileage. This function also allows you to take a less traveled route. Choose directions that are less direct, but offer you great, scenic views.

Custom POIs:
ability to add additional custom points of interest.

ecoRoute:
With ecoRoute technology you can use your GPS system to conserve money and fuel. When setting the route preferences the driver can select less fuel, the system will then calculate the most fuel efficient route on the basis of road and vehicle speed. This software was created with both the driver and environment in mind, so you can save money and support cleaner driving habits. This feature also allows you to customize routes by entering your cars’ fuel economy and gas prices in your area.

FM Traffic Compatible:
With the optional receiver, you can get alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. (Sold Separately)

Garmin Garage Compatible:
Garmin Garage allows you to customize your GPS icon with fun and innovative online tools. Visit the Garmin website to view their selection of alternative icons and voices, which can be loaded into your GPS system. The icons, which range from scooters to airplanes, will replace the standard vehicle icons pre-loaded onto every device. Garmin Garage makes for a more personal navigation experience, one that allows you to create icons the whole family can enjoy. Browse through the Garmin Garage website "parking lot", find the vehicle you like most, and directly install it onto your unit or download it onto your computer.

Garmin Lock:
This anti-theft function will help you keep personal information out of the hands of strangers in the event your system is stolen. The Garmin lock disables your unit from performing any sort of function until a 4 digit security pin is entered. Once you have this feature set-up you will have to enter your code every time you turn on and turn off your system. While this process may seem tedious, it is a great safe-guard when your GPS is stolen or misplaced.

Millions of Points of Interest:
Pre-programmed POIs make it easy to find gas stations, restaurants, ATMs, coffee and more. Search by name or category near your position or near any city.

MSN Direct Compatible:
With dynamic content from MSN Direct, you can avoid traffic backups when you travel with your compatible Garmin device. MSN Direct broadcasts traffic data to your GPS navigator so you can find the best route through traffic, check traffic flow and receive accident warnings. You can also receive local gas prices, movie times, weather forecasts and current conditions on your compatible GPS navigator. (Sold Separately)

Photo Navigation:
The Garmin Photo Navigation function allows you to utilize Google Maps and Panoramio technology to help locate places of interest when traveling. When you visit garmin.com you can search for "geo-referenced" images provided by Google and Panoramio. Load your preferred photos to your GPS system before you travel and then reference them when you arrive at your destination. When you select an image or "photo destination" your GPS will deliver turn by turn directions to that location.

Preloaded maps:
enables you to travel the Lower 48 States, Hawaii & Puerto Rico. (No Alaska or Canada)

Route Avoidance:
avoid highways, tolls and others to customize your route.

Speaks Street Names:
The Text to Speech Technology utilizes speech synthesis to convert written text into speech. Speech synthesis is known as the synthetic production of human language. The computer in your GPS system looks at upcoming street text, which is being displayed on the screen, and uses its internal synthesizer to pronounce those street names. These voice prompts allow you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel. Text to speech does not utilize pre-recorded, generic audio bits. This technology allows the GPS to deliver more detailed directions, which make navigating new areas much easier.

Where Am I?:
The Where Am I? function is pretty self-explanatory, it provides you with an answer when you reach that "Where am I?" moment during travel. Garmin believes this feature is imperative to safe travel because it delivers key information when dealing with an emergency. One screen will display a close up map image of your current location for quick street recognition. Another screen lists the longitude coordinates, nearest address, and nearest intersection. Phone for help, hospital, police station and fuel icons are also displayed when utilizing this feature.
