Garmin International is pleased to announce the nüvi 1210 and 1240 GPS navigators. These sat-navs feature an ultra-slim design (approximately 25% thinner than previous models), enhanced user interface, pedestrian navigation with public transit mode, ecoRoute^™ fuel-saver feature and text-to-speech. Take this sleek, pocket-sized navigator on journeys in and out of the car with new CityXplorer^™ major city pedestrian mapping and public transport routing [optional download]; add public transport information to plan the complete trip using public footpaths, cycle routes, subways, trains, buses and more – together with journey times, a travel itinerary breakdown and neighbourhood-based points of interest. Public transport timetables* are also taken into account to calculate your best route and estimated time of arrival.

With an easy-to-use touchscreen display, nüvi’s enhanced user interface boasts improved graphics and new touch-and-slide menu operation. ecoRoute^™ suggests fuel-efficient routes to save drivers fuel and money as nüvi 1200 routes to addresses, restaurants, hotels and more with spoken turn-by-turn directions - even announcing upcoming road names on your route. Experience enhanced navigation by adding powerful features such as Bluetooth^® wireless technology for hands-free calling and live traffic avoidance. Pair your nüvi with a compatible Bluetooth^® phone and talk hands-free while giving the road your full attention.  Every model in the series is traffic compatible, but traffic (T) models give live alerts for delays, incidents and road construction on the route through an included GTM traffic receiver. Models with premium traffic offer pan-European premium coverage; Free and Premium traffic services available only where coverage exists [visit www.garmin.com/traffic for details*¹].

Every nüvi 1200 contains smart safety camera software to compare your route against a daily-updated log of fixed, temporary and mobile safety camera locations. This unique driver safety system uses a patented ‘corridor’ technique of camera validation to give only the relevant alerts.

nüvi 1240 is preloaded with mapping coverage for Western Europe with full street maps for 22 countries and major roads for 40. The most affordable nüvi 1210 sat-navs have comprehensive UK and Ireland regional mapping coverage. The map data is provided by NAVTEQ™, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.
