Simply speaking, the Garmin nüvi 850 is one advanced navigator. It
features speech recognition (SR), a widescreen
display, preloaded maps,
an FM transmitter and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 800-series, just
speak a menu option and nüvi obeys your command.
Speak Commands
nüvi 850 not only tells you where to turn but listens to your spoken
commands. With nüvi’s innovative speech recognition, you safely
control nüvi’s interface with your voice — allowing you to keep both
hands on the wheel. Simply press the button on the remote (which
attaches to the steering wheel) to activate speech recognition and begin
speaking menu options. nüvi even recognizes shortcut phrases for popular
functions. Tell nüvi "Find Address" and speak an address to
start navigating.
In keeping with Garmin’s heritage of elegant user interface
design, the nüvi 850’s speech recognition technology sets the new
industry standard for simple and intuitive use. Users mount a
push-to-talk wireless remote to their steering wheel, which is used to
activate voice commands – no additional setup or “training” is
required. Once activated, the user can effortlessly manipulate
controls by speaking the words that correspond to buttons that are on
the touchscreen display, so that almost any common task can be
performed without ever touching the unit.
Garmin has also streamlined the way users can perform complex
points of interest searches. Driving in an unfamiliar area and
hungry for some spaghetti? Simply say, “find nearest
Italian restaurant,” and you’re offered a menu of nearby
pasta purveyors. Use a voice command to select the establishment
of your choice, and the nuvi 800 series gives you turn-by-turn
directions to dinner. The nuvi 850 also knows the names of many large
business brands, so a user need only say, “find place,” then
"Starbucks" for a quick caffeine fix.
For the ultimate in safety, a driver may at any time speak the
phrase, “where am I?” and their device will display its
exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and
intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas
stations. Speech recognition can also be used to search for
addresses as well – all hands-free, from start to finish.
Speech recognition is available for American English, British English,
European French, European Spanish, German, Italian, and Netherlands
Dutch languages.

With nüvi 850's widescreen display, you'll always get the big
picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright,
brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read
— from any direction.
Navigate With Ease
The Garmin nüvi 850 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded
City Navigator NT street maps and millions
of points of interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations,
ATMs and more. Speak a menu option or touch the color screen to enter a
destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D
maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of
exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In
addition, nüvi 850 accepts custom points of
interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set
proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Where Am I?
Keep track of yourself and your car with nüvi 850. Just speak or tap
"Where Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations,
fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact
latitude and longitude coordinates. nüvi 850 even remembers where
you parked. It automatically marks your position when you remove it
from the windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find
your way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded
lots such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.
Plan Ahead
The Garmin nüvi 850 includes advanced navigational features to
take the worry out of traveling. With route planning you can save 10
routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns
on its wide screen. In addition, nüvi 850 automatically sorts multiple
destinations to provide an efficient route for errands, deliveries or
sales calls. It also displays speed limits for highways and
Interstates. A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of
up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Take It With You
nüvi 850's high-sensitivity
internal (non flip-up) antenna gives it a sleeker, thinner design
than other gps units, making it easy to slip in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable
lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or on
foot.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 850 includes many “must
have” entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio
book player (subscription to Audible.com
required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, games,
alarm clock and more. With the included wireless FM transmitter,
you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books, through
your vehicle's stereo. nüvi 850 is compatible with enhanced
MSN Direct* (requires separate purchase of GDB
50 MSN Direct receiver/Cigarette Lighter Adapter)
and 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 microSD cards let you add additional
features to enhance your travel experience including language
translation and detailed travel guides.
