The Garmin, one of the world’s leading Sat Nav manufacturers, have just announced the Garmin Nuvifone. Now this is a mobile and Sat Nav with a difference - it has the same software as the Garmin Nuvi Sat Nav but with the added bonus of mobile phone features. Now quite a few phones these days have GPS/Sat Nav incorporated in them, however some of them are basic, expensive and do not have the voice directions (which is really quite important!), Garmin have done the great thing of simply adding mobile phone features to their already popular Sat Nav.
The Nuvifone will be 3G, have a music and video player, camera with video record and be completely touch controlled – so it’s hardly lacking in the mobile stakes. Exact specifications are yet to be released, as the phone is not due out until late summer 2008, but that should be enough to spark the interest of business people.
The GPS is obviously quite impressive on the Nuvifone, the main screen will have icons for Call, Search and View Map making it easy to navigate, so you can begin a journey or make a call home from the touch of a button. Garmin have stated that it’s GPS will seamlessly incorporate Google’s local search, allowing you access to local information and features based on your current position.
One particularly impressive feature is the way it can handle calls and GPS functions simultaneously. If you walking to your car and on a call you needn’t hang up to begin the Sat Nav feature to get you to your next meeting, you simply need to place the Garmin Nuvifone in it’s docking base and it will automatically turn on the GPS, bring up the navigation menu and transfer your call to hands-free. So you can rest assured that you will get to where you are going quickly, safely and within the law!
