Input a destination on the touch screen, and nüvi takes you there with 2-D or 3-D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Text to speech enhances standard sat-nav voice guidance by speaking the names of locations and roads. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
