Garmin Nuvi 880 - A Great Product!
By Frederick Everhart
I’m hooked on Nav systems. I really got it for my RAV4 to replace a Garmin 660 which I liked very much. I have (had) built-in Navs on several cars. The latest is a Lexus 460L. The Lexus is reported to have one of the very best Nav systems. It is very good. But in many respects, the Garmin 880 is better. The voice recognition is vastly superior. There seems to be more POIs. Destinations to remote areas are superior in the 880.
I’m planning a trip to Ohio next week in the Lexus and will be taking the 880 with me and use it in conjunction with the Lexus Nav. For one thing, unlike the Lexus, the 880 will take me to the exact address of an out-of-the-way place. And the other advantage is that the 880 shows the current highway speed limit as well as the current speed of the car–good speed control.
And it’s great to find the cheapest gas, curent weather, stock quotes, the current news, and ‘where am I”, with immediate access to police and hospitals.
