Handheld GPS System – Garmin Nuvifone G60
Finally Garmin launch the most anticipated handheld GPS system bundled with phone capabilities – the Nuvifone G60. According to Garmin’s web, Garmin Nuvifone G60 will be available on Oct 4, 2009. This innovative product is only available for AT&T customers in the US. The Garmin Nuvifone G60 is a first of its kind device that merge 3 devices – mobile phone, mobile browser, and high end Garmin GPS – into single and portable device.
Regarding this release, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Market vice president, Michael Woodward said that “Personal navigation devices are already all about mobility and taking the Garmin experience everywhere as your mobile phone is truly compelling for customers who travel often, We expect the nüvifone to be the guide for local restaurants, the least-expensive gas and the nearest coffee shop for many customers.” While Garmin’s president and COO, Cliff Pemble stated “The nüvifone weaves location into nearly every facet of its functionality making it ideal for people who depend on location to navigate everyday life, The nüvifone has Garmin’s easy-to-use interface, so navigating to a meeting directly from its calendar or contacts pages, or geotagging an email or photograph with a location stamp, is intuitive, useful and fun.”
Now let’s explore Garmin Nuvifone G60. This powerful phone GPS has the same core features as a high end Garmin Nuvi. Preloaded maps and comprehensive points of interest for North America is available in this handheld GPS. If you want to use this device while you are driving, just mount this device in your card dashboard and enjoy the turn-by-turn directions provided. You don’t have to worry if you missed a turn along the navigations, the Nuvifone will recalculate a route and get you on track automatically. This reliable GPS is powered by Garmin HotFix technology.
To informs about the exact location information such as nearest address, intersection, latitude and longitude coordinates, etc, Garmin Nuvifone provides a “where am I?” features for you. If you often park your car in a crowded parking lot, Nuvifone provides a feature that will automatically mark the position in which it was last removed from its mount, so you can easily know where your car is parked.
In the previous paragraph, I mention that this handheld GPS system is equipped with a web browser. With Nüvifone, you are just one click away from a full HTML browser that can be accessed via the nation’s fastest 3G network, or AT&T’s more than 20,000 Wi-Fi hotspots. The nüvifone G60 also includes a three megapixel camera with auto-focus. This camera is able to automatically geotags images with an exact latitude and longitude reference of where the image was taken. Finally, all of these great features is offered in a very competitive price: $299.
