Garmin Nuvi 275T Review

The Garmin Nuvi 275T automobile navigational unit is improved over previous 200 models by adding free, real-time traffic updates from Navteq as well as a Bluetooth connection to your cell phone. Other great improvements include a predictive technology (that provides faster satellite lock), a more attractive screen loaded with more info, terrain maps, and a terrific new photo navigation feature.

The 275T comes equipped with complete maps for North America as well as Europe. The 275T utilizes a text-to-speech feature, giving you turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets. For instance it will tell you to 'turn left in 25 feet at Main Street instead of simply 'turn left in 25 feet'.

The Garmin Nuvi 275T's size makes it perfect to take along with you, as it measures just 3.8 x 0.8 x 2.8 inches and weighs only one pound.

You can avoid nasty traffic snare-ups with a built-in GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic slow downs and road construction that could be on your route. You will get instant access to traffic information which can save you hours on your trip. With the Garmin Nuvi 275T, all you have to do is simply touch the screen to see the traffic details so you can just take a detour to avoid the hassles that lay ahead.

If you end up missing a turn or you are forced into taking a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the Nuvi 275T's state of the art automatic routing will get you back on track before you know it.

The versatile and rugged Garmin Nuvi 275T has all of the built-in options you'll ever need to arrive quickly and efficiently, no matter if you are traveling across a large city or exploring the back roads. The Garmin Nuvi 275T makes a great travel companion.
