Garmin Navigation with Smart Features and Free Live Digital Traffic
Helpful
Driver Alerts
Garmin DriveSmart notifies you when driving the wrong way on a one-way street and sends warnings for nearby school zones. Receive alerts for nearby red light and speed cameras, and be prepared for sudden halts in traffic with upcoming traffic jam alerts. For longer drives, a fatigue warning suggests break times and potential rest areas after hours of driving. The Up Ahead feature lets you easily see places up ahead and milestones along your route, without leaving the map view.

Guidance
Using Recognisable Landmarks
Garmin
DriveSmart redefines “spoken turn-by-turn directions” with Garmin Real
Directions™, easy-to-understand driving directions that guide using
recognisable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights (e.g., “Turn right after
the red building” or “Turn left after the QT”). It’s preloaded with millions
more new and popular places than previous models.
Find
Exactly Where You Need to Go
The
Direct Access feature simplifies navigating to select complex destinations,
like airports and shopping malls, by finding a place within a larger location.
Direct Access even navigates through parking lots to find the entrance nearest
your destination. When navigating to the mall, Direct Access gives additional
location information for specific retail stores inside. For example, “Arriving
at Woodfield Mall. Anthropologie is inside, on the upper level.”
Easier
to Search, Quicker to Find
Garmin
DriveSmart has a search field that makes it easy to find addresses and millions
of points of interest. Simply enter a category (like “pizza”), an entire
address or a name (“Starbucks”), and Garmin DriveSmart quickly returns your
results. In case of a misspelling, Garmin DriveSmart provides multiple search results
that sound similar to what you’ve entered.
