Garmin nuvi
1260T Review
Exercise or traveling can be pretty mundane without a
companion or a co-driver. You need some one to look up the maps
specially if you are going to a new place and tell you about
the important places. However in today’s busy world there are
times when your spouse can also be busy with their own
engagements. In such scenarios the Garmin nuvi
1260T can be your perfect traveling
companion!

nuvi 1260T GPS Navigator
Overview
Garmin nuvi 1260T is a GPS navigator big on features and
small on profile. This ultra-thin navigation device with a 3.5"
screen has preloaded maps for North America, free traffic
alerts, bluetooth hands-free calling and ecoRoute - a green
feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route. You can
keep it in your purse or shirt pocket without any problems.
Features
The Garmin nuvi 1260T comes with a plethora of features like
a more interactive user interface, public transport mode,
text-to-speech and pedestrian
navigation. The pedestrian navigation features are
available via the City Xplorer maps which
can be downloaded directly to the nuvi 1260T for major tourist
sights in Europe and North America. This GPS has better and
more enhanced graphics than its predecessors and the menu
options have a new slide control feature. If you are driving
your own vehicle, eco Route can help you save fuel by advising
you on the best and the shortest routes available to your
destination. If you don’t have your own vehicle, the public
transit feature can help you to locate the bus, tram or metro
of your choice.
The nuvi 1260T is equipped with Bluetooth®
wireless technology for hands-free calling via a
compatible phone. With a built-in microphone and speaker you
will be able to talk hands-free through the 1260T without
taking your eyes off the road.
If you need to commute to the office every day and keep
wondering whether you will be able to reach on time or will
encounter a traffic jam then you can get rid of all your
worries through the NAVTEQ
Traffic receiver which will give you your local
traffic status and even will act as a power charger. You can
get specific information like traffic flow speeds, nationwide
coverage for US, accidents and other unplanned problems on your
route and construction work sites as well.
Navigation has never been easier. Its intuitive
interface greets you with two simple questions:
"Where To?" and "View
Map". Touch the color screen to easily look up
addresses and services and get voice-prompted,
turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your
destination without squinting into your GPS.
The Garmin 1260T has millions of points of interest (POI) s
like restaurants, hotels and gas stations. All you need to do
is add the destination you need to go to and the nuvi 1260T
will help you get there with the help of 2D and 3 D maps and
voice directions. You can even add your own points of interests
like schools, colleges and your favorite shopping places! It
also has the “Where Am I” locator feature
which provides your exact coordinates; plus the location of the
nearest hospital, police station and fuel stations in case of
an emergency.
