Navigate With Ease
nüvi
885T comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City
Navigator NT street maps and millions of points of interest (POIs) such
as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs and more. Speak a menu
option or touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes
you there with 2-D or 3-D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It
even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take
your eyes off the road. In addition, nüvi 885T accepts custom points of
interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set
proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Where Am I?
Keep
track of yourself and your car with nüvi 885T. Just speak or tap "Where
Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations,
nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact latitude and
longitude coordinates. nüvi 885T even remembers where you parked. It
automatically marks your position when you remove it from the
windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find your
way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded lots
such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.
Plan Ahead
nüvi
885T includes advanced navigational features to take the worry out of
traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via
points and preview simulated turns on its wide screen. In addition,
nüvi 885T automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an
efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. It also
displays speed limits for highways and Interstates. A trip log provides
an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see
where you've been on the map.
Make Hands-free Calls
Talk
about worry-free driving. For hands-free calling, nüvi 885T integrates
Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker.
Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free
through the 885T while staying focused on the road. Simply speak or
dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad to make a call.
Take It With You
nüvi
885T's high-sensitivity internal (non flip-up) antenna gives it a
sleeker, thinner design than other gps units, making it easy to slip in
your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it
convenient for navigation by car or on foot.
