Fully Integrated Car GPS
The Integrated Car GPS Systems is a GPS that comes along with the car. Put in the my manufacturer the car GPS is fully integrated with the car navigation system.
Safety & Simplicity In One
The Nuvi 255WT comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT map data for Europe. Simply touch the colour screen, key in your destination and the Nuvi takes you there with turn-by-turn spoken directions, which can be changed as you wish. It provides 2-D or 3-D mapping and smooth map redraw rates and the digital elevation maps show shaded contours for an understanding of the surrounding terrain. And other interesting features are:
- Custom points of interest (POIs) – Examples are traffic blackspots and post offices and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
- HotFix™ satellite prediction – Allows to calculate your position faster to get you there quicker.
- ‘Where Am I?’ – Gives you details about your location in a flash.
- Advanced Cyclops safety camera database – This helps you to travel with the confidence you are driving safely, responsibly and legally.
Garmin Lock™ – This is an inventive anti-theft protection system that uses GPS to lock to a secure location of your choice.
Avoid Traffic Jams
With the Garmin Nuvi 255WT GPS you get lifetime traffic alerts to provide dependable delay information and keep you aware of jams, accidents and roadworks on your route. This real-time data comes from reliable sources such as the Highways Agency, police traffic control centres and more than 8000 traffic flow cameras and sensors on motorways and trunk roads. The only thing you have to do is to flick between your navigation screen and congestion delay information, reassured you will be guided safely to your destination.
Navigation Of The Future
The Nuvi 255WT has built in photo navigation to revolutionise your sightseeing on those family trips out. This allows you to easily plan landmarks and attractions before you set off. Just choose and save location-tagged photographs from millions of Google Panoramio pictures in a list of family trips and just follow the step-by-step guidance to get to your favourite destinations. Other built-in travel tools include:
- JPEG picture viewer
- World travel clock with time zones
- Currency and measurement converter
Calculator and more.
Not only do such devices provide an excellent way for people to solve their navigation problems, GPS-powered devices have also slowly incorporated their means in helping commercial applications as well as carrying out different activities of everyday.
Portable Car GPS
Portable and handheld GPS is the cheaper alternative for those who can’t afford to buy those fancy car models with integrated GPS systems. But they are not in any way less effective. In some ways this might be better because you buy a model that will really suit your needs not take what the manufacturer offers. You can choose from a whole range of GPS systems for cars from Garmin, Magellan, TomTom and many more other GPS manufacturing companies. You will need additional software with that and a laptop that is connected to the GPS for it to give you turn by turn by directions.
