Garmin intros budget nuvi 255T, 265T, and 275T navigation systems
Garmin has unleashed a herd of satnav systems this morning. The new additions will go to Garmin’s nuvi line and includes the new 255T, 265T, and 275T.
“Many customers want a simple-to-use, low-cost personal navigator, but find themselves in need of premium add-ons along the way,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “These devices add two of the most popular premium features – traffic alerts and hands-free calling – to an affordable, yet powerful navigator.”
The 2×5 nuvi series now offers Bluetooth wireless connectivity for handsfree calling and traffic alerts. Using NAVTEQ Traffic, drivers can steer clear of jammed up roads and not pay any extra fees as the service is free with purchase. Also on-board is Bluetooth connectivity so drivers can chat and drive at the same time.
The new 2-series nuvis offer either 4.3 or 3.5-inch display screens and will now announce street names when driving - no more “turn right in 500 feet” instead you will now be greeted with “turn right on Elm Street”.
