Speak commands and get on-demand travel info from MSN® Direct with nüvi 880. This widescreen navigator features speech recognition (SR), preloaded maps, hands-free calling and an FM transmitter — plus real-time local weather, traffic, movie times, gas prices, stock information, local news and events. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 800-series, you can navigate with your voice for on-the-go convenience.

nüvi 880 not only tells you where to turn but listens to your spoken commands. With nüvi’s innovative speech recognition, you safely control nüvi’s interface with your voice — allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel. Simply press the button on the remote (which attaches to the steering wheel) to activate speech recognition and begin speaking menu options. nüvi even recognizes shortcut phrases for popular functions. Tell nüvi "Find Address" and speak an address to start navigating.

With next-generation dynamic content from MSN Direct, nüvi 880 is one resourceful personal travel assistant. Using the included receiver and free trial service¹ to MSN Direct, you can check the weather, avoid traffic backups, compare local gas prices, get enhanced movie listings, stock information, news and local events when you travel with your unit. Even plan trips from the convenience of your computer, via Windows Live Local, and wirelessly send locations to nüvi 880.

Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 880 includes many “must have” entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, games, alarm clock and more. With the included wireless FM transmitter², you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books, through your vehicle's stereo. It also includes optional MSN® Direct and comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in microSD cards let you add additional features to enhance your travel experience including language translation and detailed travel guides. Our SaversGuide® provides information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize your nüvi whether you’re traveling or close to home.

5 of 5 NICE GPS Thursday, December 18, 2008
David Heltemes from Bethesda, Maryland  

I have other speach recognition GPS before such as the Magellan but this is first one that I have seen that actually understands verbal commands with the capability to input addresses from voice rather than pushing letter by letter. Other nice feature is the MSN direct with Stocks, News, Gas, Movies, Traffic Etc that provide great information. I have also used this Garmin to download audible books for long trips and with the FM transmitter for great sound through your existing car radio speakers.
