The Garmin nuvi line is already known for being the easiest-to-use automotive navigation system available - now it's priced to fit any budget, as well!
Garmin International and Tiger GPS are pleased to announce the nuvi 270, nuvi 250 and nuvi 200 affordable GPS navigators. These newest models in the popular nuvi family feature a sleek, ultra-slim design with automatic routing capabilities. With an easy-to-use touchscreen display, nuvi can route to addresses, restaurants, hotels and more with turn-by-turn directions and voice guidance. The nuvi 270, nuvi 250 and nuvi 200 GPS navigators offer all of the functions of a premium in-dash system at a fraction of the cost.
The nuvi 270 comes preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for North America and Europe. The nuvi 250 offers full coverage mapping for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. For additional cost savings, nuvi 200 is available with coverage of the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Garmin is able to provide the nuvi 200 at a jaw-dropping price by reducing the amount of preloaded mapping. The preloaded map data features nearly six million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. The map data is provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.
