Garmin Nuvi 1300
If you're still craving outdoor action, try the new Nuvi 1300 – Garmin’s portable navigation device with a bright, widescreen display. Significantly thinner than previous models, the Nuvi 1300 has a 4.3 WQVGA touchscreen and is enabled with CityXplorer maps for pedestrian navigation. The best part about the Nuvi is that you can name search millions of destinations within its extensive database.
We are also impressed with the public transit mode and ecoRoute feature. The latter takes you through the most fuel efficient routes to your destinations! So what’s not hot about the Nuvi 1300? It doesn’t have a speed limit display. Also, when you search for a destination, the result is displayed in a manner that takes up a lot of room on the map.
