Jul 11, 2006 garmin, gps navigation

Garmin today announced that Saab dealerships in Europe are now offering customers the opportunity to purchase a nüvi 300 satellite navigation unit directly from the dealer’s showroom.

Thanks to nüvi’s versatility as a GPS navigator, personal travel assistant, and digital entertainment system, drivers will have helpful tools throughout every portion of their trip. The nüvi includes a large, preloaded points of interest database that makes it easy for users to find and route to their destination. Custom points of interest may also be loaded on the unit. With the optional TMC traffic receiver, nüvi can also notify drivers of traffic and will automatically suggest and calculate alternative routes around any queues.

The personal travel kit offers helpful resources, such as the Garmin Language Guide™ that provides written translations of words and phrases, Garmin Travel Guide™ that gives information about tourist sites and popular attractions, MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, currency converter, world travel clock and calculator.

The nüvi is equipped with a new high-sensitivity, SiRFstarIII GPS receiver, which acquires a GPS signal quickly and is capable of maintaining a signal in heavy foliage or “urban canyons” created by skyscrapers.
