Now you can go from North America to Europe without loading any more
maps with the Garmin's transatlantic nüvi 670 Personal Travel
Assistant. This pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with
built-in street maps for both continents, making traveling abroad as
easy as getting off the plane. The nüvi 670 is loaded with convenience
features such as a travel kit and hands-free calling, on top of which
it provides you with even more maps and an integrated traffic receiver.
Despite being loaded with features, the nüvi 670 still allows you
to navigate with ease. This unit comes ready to go right out of the box
with preloaded NavTeq City Navigator NT street maps for both North
America and Europe, and includes a hefty points of interest (POIs)
database with hotels, restaurants, fuel stops, ATMs and more. Simply
touch the super-bright, sunlight-readable color screen to enter a
destination, and the 670 takes you there with either 2D or 3D maps and
turn-by-turn voice directions. This navigator voice even announces the
name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the
road, and can concentrate on your driving to keep yourself and your
loved ones safe. In addition, the 670 accepts custom points of interest
(POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set
proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs that require your special
consideration such as speed zones and safety cameras.
This sleek multi-tasking Personal Travel Assistant features a colorful widescreen, hands-free calling, and an FM transmitter.

Speaking of keeping you safe, the nüvi 670 lets you make hands-free
calls so you can talk freely during your worry-free driving. By
integrating Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone
and speaker, you can pair your nüvi with any compatible Bluetooth phone
and talk hands-free while staying focused on the road. You no longer
have to fumble with your phone's handset to answer a call or dial a
number, just tap the 670's screen and you're instantly connected. And
with 1-touch dialing for your POIs, you can quickly and conveniently
call ahead to make reservations or get needed information.
You
can also avoid tie-ups and steer clear of traffic with the nüvi 670's
integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. This unit allows you to receive
alerts about road construction and traffic problems that lie ahead on
your route. Simply touch the nüvi's screen to view traffic details or
change your route so you can detour around the problem area. All of
which can be customized with configurable vehicle icons that let you
choose individual car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that show
your position on the map. As an added benefit, the nüvi 670 has an FM
transmitter as well, which allows you to hear its voice prompts, or
your music or audio books through your car's stereo for a fuller,
richer sound.
In additional to all this functionality, the nüvi
670 includes many must-have entertainment and travel tools such as an
MP3 player, an audio book player (subscription to Audible.com
required), and a JPEG picture viewer so you can take your favorite
music and pictures with you wherever you go. This unit also features a
world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement
converter, and a calculator so that wherever you travel it will be easy
to know what you are getting and keep track of your costs. The MP3
player lets you browse music by artist, album, and/or song, while the
optional audio books may be purchased from Audible.com which features
over 70,000 hours of audio programs. What's more, the nüvi 670 allows
further customization via optional software such as travel guide,
savings programs and language translation on plug-and-play SD cards for
all your travel needs.
The Garmin nüvi 670 comes with a
built-in, high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, and lets you
view and operate it via its bright, LCD TFT touch-screen, wide-screen
display that measures 4.3 inches (diagonal) and has a resolution of 480
x 272 pixels with 64,000 colors and a white backlight. As a whole, the
nüvi 670 measures 4.9 x 2.9 x 0.9 inches (W x H x D), and weighs only
6.2 ounces for easy portability. This unit provides you with from three
to seven hours of battery life (depending on use) via its rechargeable
lithium-ion battery, and comes with Garmin Lock, which is an anti-theft
feature to protect your investment. While you can add software via the
SD card slot, the Garmin nüvi 670 also lets you interface via
high-speed USB for loading data, though users should note that, like
most USB mass storage devices, this unit is not compatible with Windows
95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.
