Garmin Drive, the assistant guide for everyone – Il Sole 24 Ore

More technology, connectivity and security for all: the 2016 CES in Las Vegas is also this. If Bosch made the emergency call to everyone with e-call Retrofit, so does Garmin with the new devices Drive, replacing the line nüvi and beyond: from navigation devices become aids to guide prevention accidents. Thanks to the DriveAssist, for example, the driver informed about potential hazardous situations or delicate as sharp turns, schools or Animal Crossing. As on most modern cars, even on your “Youngtimer” nineties (but also on classic cars 50 years and older) you will have therefore the interactive help of a connected device, which is even able to understand when you are tired and, in case, to suggest a stop.

The more refined DriveSmart also includes the display of the calls, messages and notifications received on various smartphones, in addition to hands-free Bluetooth and updating traffic conditions every 60 seconds. A step up is DriveAssist, which even includes a dash cam can record a continuous cycle that happens in front of his car and to save, in case of accident, the images on the micro SD card. Already there were, in Garmin have also implemented the alarm function when approaching dangerous vehicle ahead. The top of the range is instead the DriveDeLuxe, which includes the same functions Drive Assist, but encloses in a metal shell.
Many, as it was easy to imagine, the app available, ranging from Foursquare – which gives information on restaurants, hotels and all you can serve a traveler – Sounds Like, thanks to which you can search for an address by assonance. Brilliant in its simplicity, Real Directions, which gives directions using landmarks as gas stations, monuments, etc., just like the pawn you meet on the street.
