Garmin nuvi 880
You may start talking at your Garmin nuvi 880 because it's listening to you. This amazing device is a full-featured global GPS, distinguished by a very good voice-recognition system. It has a wide vocabulary, enabling drivers to enter destinations and cycle through menus without touching the screen. And it works in multiple languages. It has Garmin's latest features. It has a friendly, easy-to-use interface with an updated onscreen keypad like the new 2x5 line. It also adds features we’d like to see shared with all other Garmin models, including the ability to exclude a road from a route, and distance options in the detour menu.
The Nuvi 880 has the first truly integrated voice-recognition system in a portable navigation device, allowing users to perform such common tasks as entering destinations, changing volume and brightness settings, and accessing all menus in a hands-free manner. Other systems with voice recognition on the market have a much more limited vocabulary and still require interacting with a touch screen to access menus and enter certain information.
Reviewers describe the Garmin nuvi 880 as one of the best options among advanced GPS systems for its generous features and precise directions. It receives high scores in all ranked categories because experts find it one of the most solid combinations of design, usability and performance. In addition, reviewers find the nuvi 880's standout feature -- voice recognition -- has set a new standard in voice command technology with regards to overall performance and usability.
Like the rest of the Nuvi series, the Garmin Nuvi 880 is sleek, compact, and simple. It measures 4.9 inches wide by 3.1 inches high by 0.7 inch deep and weighs 6.2 ounces for easy portability between vehicles. The small size also comes in handy when using the it outside of the car as an entertainment device or travel aid, since the Nuvi comes loaded with games and travel tools.
Another benefit is the Nuvi 880's spacious 4.3-inch touch screen. With a 480x272-pixel resolution, the display is bright and easy to read, whether you're reading maps or using the other features. You can adjust the screen's brightness and there's an automatic mode that switches the map colors for optimal viewing during the day or night. The touch screen is responsive to the commands, and the onscreen keyboard is available in QWERTY or ABC format. The keyboard is on the small side, so users with larger fingers might have some problems. The good news is that it has predictive text, so it will automatically pull up possible search results as soon as you start inputting a couple of letters.
The Garmin Nuvi 880 comes packaged with a vehicle mount (windshield and dash), a car charger, a USB cable, a speech recognition remote control, and reference material. The vehicle mount is simple to install and attach, and it securely held the Nuvi 880 in our road tests.
The user interface and software is intuitive. All the icons and menus are clearly marked, and you can pretty much figure out the basic operations just by playing with the device. However, for some advanced tasks such as planning a multidestination trip or setting up Bluetooth, you might want to consult the user manual.
Drivers today enjoy the interface and the overall usability of the nuvi 880. Garmin's map screen is well implemented and carefully designed. It is easy to read and does a good job displaying key information without being cluttered or confusing. The map screen is one of the most important aspects of any GPS, and the nuvi 880 gets it right.
The Garmin nuvi 880 is at the top of the market, which fortunately carries over in its checklist of features. It's filled to the brim, having nearly every feature you expect in a premium navigator. This top-notch GPS has all the bells and whistles you should find in a luxury device. Here are some of its most important features.
* New super-bright, 4.3” diagonal, 480 x 272 Pixels
* MSN updates via FM channels
* Integrated FM Wireless Transmitter
* Alerts for Traffic, Road Construction and Weather-related Tie-Ups

As we've come to expect from the Nuvi line, the Garmin Nuvi 880 offers an impressive feature list and solid performance, but it's the accurate speech recognition that really pushes the Nuvi 880 over the edge and makes it one of the best GPS we've tested to date.
