Garmin nvi 1300 series also have an innovative feature which helps you to know all about the public transport system like metro, tramways, suburban rail systems and guide bus usage for the 48 states of US through the City Navigator.

Here’s what one of the owners had to say about the Garmin Nuvi 1300:

I've had just about every brand name of GPS unit in search of the "perfect" one. Up until now, the closest I came was with a Nuvi 350 when it was first released in 05, which I foolishly sold as I wasn't using it as much as I had originally thought. Back then, GPS Nav was a nicety and not nearly as "big" as it is today. Since then, I've had units from Magellan, Cobra, Finedrive (Ugh!), Whistler, TomTom, Mio(My favorite TeleAtlas based brand) and Navigon. All had their plusses and minuses but, never really hit that sweet spot. With the exception of one small detail, the 1300 FINALLY gets it. (MethodMadness)

You don't have to strain your eyes as you search for information on the Garmin nvi series due to its bright, colorful and vibrant 4.3 inch display which makes it readable in the sunlight. The touch screen interface is simple and convenient. User friendly menus, bigger icons and easy input feature makes using Garmin nvi 1300 Series 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator a breeze!

Whether you are walking or driving a car through any of the 48 US cities, you can go anywhere with this GPS since it helps you to know all the important details of the place you are in. Information like hotels, gas stations, restaurant and ATMs are all on your finger tips. The NAVTEQ people provide the maps and they are best in the market. You will get step by step navigation and text to speech feature which aids you in preventing accidents as it comes preloaded with all the important information and also has safety camera alerts.

A stranger in a country or city is quite hesitant to explore a new place generally however with the innovation "Where am I" function aids in informing you about the nearest address, interaction and even the nearest police station. The techies can see the longitude and longitude coordinates which can aid in locating your car and other important amenities.

The satellite acquisition time is greatly reduced by the new feature known as HotFix Satellite capability which has automatic calculation feature and satellite locations storage feature apart from accident warming feature. IT can also help in preventing traffic jams by constantly updating you on the various jams and the roads to avoid or take to prevent such jams

On the whole, if you're looking for a GPS device that is fully functional, easy to transport and offers the latest functions of satellite technology, you'll want to take a serious look at the Garmin nvi 1300 Series 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.
