Give-a-give-a-Garmin!

For inspiration on what to get your family and friends this Christmas, look no further than Garmin®, the global leader in satellite navigation*. There’s something for everyone and we’re sure someone you know will want one!

The multi award winning Garmin nüvi® 3700 sat nav

It’s stylish, it’s fun, and it’s personal. At just 8.7mm it’s the thinnest and coolest sat nav around. The top-of-the range nüvi 3790T is voice-activated so you can talk to it and tell it where you want to go. You can even give it your own voice or that of a loved one by downloading Garmin’s Voice Studio, at www.garmin.com/uk/extras/customise-your-sat-nav/ so you can have your husband / wife / mate directing you even when they’re not in the car!

The clever sat nav also knows where you want to go. The innovative nüRoutesTM myTrends™ feature analyses your driving behaviour and predicts where you are likely to go and then links to the trafficTrends™  application, which looks at what other people are doing using tools such as historical traffic information and period of day.

The nüvi 3790 with maps for Europe has an RRP of £319.99.

The nüLink!TM 1695

If you want connected services the 5-inch nüLink! TM 1695 gives you up-to-the-minute relevant, online information. ‘Dynamic’ parking information shows parking space availability and pricing – a great money saving tool when hourly parking prices can vary so much between car parks that are just metres apart.  Google™ Local Search enables you to find a shop or service, press Go and be directed there without the need to write down an address and type it in. In addition, Garmin nüLink! offers a plethora of other online services that will help you travel like a local such as premium traffic, weather, fuel prices and more.

The nüLink! 1695 has preloaded maps for 44 European countries and comes with one year of free online services out-of-the-box. The RRP is £299.99.

The nüvi® 1310T

Getting an affordable sat nav doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style or substance. The nüvi® 1310T has everything you’d expect and more.

Navigating tricky junctions is easier than ever with PhotoReal™ Junction View. It shows accurate images of upcoming exits and junctions on your route with incredible detail of what’s up ahead – down to the trees, bridges and pylons. See the precise reproduction of road signs with arrows guiding you to the right lane for your onward journey.

You also get Bluetooth®** wireless technology for hands-free calls and the integrated ecoRoute™ fuel-saver feature to help you find the most fuel-efficient route and track fuel use.

The nüvi 1310T with UK maps has an RRP of £149.99
