The Garmin Nuvi 610 is a light, slim widescreen Personal Navigational Device that packs in a few extras. Features for the 610 include Bluetooth technology with a built-in speaker and microphone, so pair it with your Bluetooth compatible phone, and you can talk hands free while driving. You just dial the numbers using the screen to make a call. To answer incoming calls, just tap the screen and talk. You can also program one-touch dialing for points of interest, such as hotels, restaurants, etc., and make reservations while you’re on your way.
Navigation is as easy to see as it is to use. With the super bright 4.3 inch widescreen, viewing your directions is as easy as getting them. It comes ready to go with preloaded map data for one European region or country. If you plan to use it outside of the European area, however, you’ll need to upgrade. It will cost you extra, but the extra features of the Nuvi 610 may be well worth it. You’ll receive your destination directions in 2D or 3D maps, and with turn by turn voice directions. You can also program custom points of interest, such as school zones, and safety cameras. Some versions include a preloaded safety camera database. Another upgrade that’s available is the traffic receiver and traffic services database. You can be notified of road construction, accidents, and traffic jams ahead of time, so you can re-route your course if necessary. And if you take a wrong turn, the Nuvi 610 will re-navigate from where you are, and send you on your way to where you’re going in a matter of seconds. The satellite connection is great, even indoors. No waiting for clear skies to use it, use it when you need it, no matter what the weather.
Of course, one of the best features is the slim design. You can literally take it with you wherever you go. It’s small enough and light enough at only 6.2 ounces to put in your purse, or even your shirt pocket. And the slim design makes it great for walking or hiking, as it’s programmed for that too.
Entertainment features include an MP3 player and audio book player. Perfect for long trips. It also features a JPEG picture viewer, currency converter, calculator, anti-theft device, and much more.
If you’re in the market for a GPS device that is reliable and convenient to use, combined with Bluetooth technology, then the Garmin Nuvi 610 may be just what you’ve been looking for. It’s a great way to get from where you are to where you’re going with ease.
