Product Information

Like a friend who knows the area well, the Garmin nuvi series 42 GPS, can provide turn by turn directions in clear audio-adjustable speech. With a dash-mount and a 4.3 inch size screen, the Garmin nuvi 42 GPS traveling companion can display the road being traveled as well as what is ahead. The bright 480 x 272 pixel screen features colorful maps and representations of the highway and its immediate surroundings. The screen is touch sensitive, which can allow the user to easily find maps and addresses in North America. Thousands of points of interest are programmed into the Garmin nuvi 42 GPS which, if not being used for the present trip, can be saved into the GPS for future visits. The Garmin nuvi 42 GPS offers innovative features such as lane assist with junction view. This feature can assist the driver when merging onto another road or a freeway exit. The Garmin nuvi 42 GPS features brightly colored arrows that can direct the driver into the correct lane and display what is on the road ahead. The Garmin nuvi 42 can offer assistance with closed roads; the “Road Avoidance” feature can allow the driver to bypass inaccessible roads and highways, which can thereby save time and frustration. The helpful “Where Am I” function can provide the driver with information on his/her exact location in a user friendly way. When using this function, the GPS might say, “You are on Oak Street between Pine and Elm Streets” or “The closest address to you is, 444 West State Street”. This function can be very helpful, especially in an emergency situation. Other helpful features include assistance with speed. The Garmin nuvi 42 GPS displays the speed limit on the road that is being driven as well as the current speed of the vehicle. Accurate arrival time information is also clearly displayed, which can allow the driver to make adjustments as needed. Map navigation is the strong suit of the Garmin nuvi 42, and it can deliver what most drivers require during day to day traveling. Maps and information provided by the Garmin nuvi GPS are available in street, city tour and North America map formats. The display screen has the ability to split and allow additional information to be shown on the right hand side. An excellent feature of this unit is the availability of lifetime map software updates through Garmin Express. Lifetime map and navigation updates can ensure that travel information is always accurate and current. Not only can the Garmin nuvi 42 GPS be extremely helpful, it can be fun to use as well. In addition to maps and other information, a variety of custom vehicles and voices may be downloaded from Garmin Express.
