The New Garmin nuvi 295W is Shipping
Garmin just released a brand new GPS device that looks more like a smartphone than a PND. The nuvi 295W is a very slim looking unit measuring just 0.6″ thick. Then you have the dual orientation 3.5″ glass touchscreen. It will fit nicely in your shirt pocket.
What’s new is that it is now not only a navigational device, you can also surf the net, send emails and take a picture with it! Check out the promo video below from Garmin:
Here’s another video on the additional features:
USA and Canada maps are included together with 6 million POIs. It also has the usual features like text to speech, cityXplorer maps, MP3 player, calculator, and more. However, it lacks lane assist, 3D reality view, real-time traffic information, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The new Garmin Nuvi 295W is already available for $279.99 from Garmin’s website and now on sale at Amazon.
