Garmin Nuvi 215 GPS with UK+Ireland maps (Bluetooth) 3.5" touchscreen
One of the latest-generation Nuvi GPS units from Garmin, this Nuvi 215 GPS unit is much similar to the previous 200 version. It comes with some additional features including:
- Bluetooth handsfree calling and SMS messaging
- Where-Am-I feature
- HotFix™ satellite prediction, making it faster to receive a satellite signal
The Nuvi 215 has the latest mapping of UK and Ireland (Navteq maps) and has the option to use either 2D or 3D map display. Nice 3.5" touchscreen display and voice prompts.
Overall, we find the Nuvi 215 to be an excellent GPS unit with some of the best mapping in the market. The Bluetooth feature is a nice addition to this version, as it promotes safer driving and does away with the need for handsfree kits in cars.
Worry-free travel is just a nüvi away. Sold exclusively in Europe, nüvi 215 comes with preloaded map data for a specific region or country on the continent and includes free traffic and hands-free calling. Like the rest of the nüvi 205-series, this portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
nüvi 215's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where to?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps for or one European region or country, over millions of points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map updates as you navigate. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. In addition, nüvi 215 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. With HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
