The Garmin nüvi 285WT is a super sleek widescreen navigator that takes you anywhere with preloaded maps and turn-by-turn directions that call out streets by name. It serves up real-time local weather, traffic, movie times, stock information, gas prices, news and local events as you navigate.
The 285WT provides complete maps for North America and the handy Text-to-Speech feature, so you get turn-by-turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn right in 40 feet at Chester St.", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet"). When it comes to the best gps’ for 2010, this portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
The nüvi 285WT offers MSN Direct Service and is compatible with Garmin's lifetime traffic update receiver. Enjoy 3 months of free MSN Direct Service (included) or purchase the GTM 25 and get real-time traffic updates for the life of your nüvi. Choose what's best for you.
