This versatile little portable offers detailed maps, a crystalline 4.3" widescreen touch display, Bluetooth wireless technology, entertainment and travel options, and built-in MSN Direct content with live traffic updates, so you enjoy a quality navigation experience wherever you go.
Enjoy the view

You'll have access to maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico in stunning color, and you can choose a 2-D or 3-D map view for navigation. You'll have more info for choosing music or video files than with a normal 3.5" screen, and the white backlight helps defeat glare.
Customize your journey

Or use Garmin's point of interest uploader to add your favorite stops off the beaten path, including speed traps and school zones.
