Manufacturer Description |
Navigate both North America and Europe without loading more maps with the affordable nuvi 270. This entry-level Personal Travel Assistant makes traveling so simple. For even more mapping options, nuvi 250 and 200 offer less map coverage at a lower price. Like all nuvi 200-series members, the 270 features an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen and ultra-slim design - perfect for everyday navigation.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi 270 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for both North America and Europe, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nuvi 270 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.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 270 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock , an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards for travel guides and a savings program provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nuvi for your travel needs.
nuvi 270: Simple navigation at an affordable price.
