The nuvi
3500 series rounds out Garmin’s 2012 line up of PNDs as the most full-featured,
top tier navigators. This series offers it all, from the thin and stylish form
factor and large display to the most premium capabilities like Digital 3D
Traffic and Smartphone Link compatibility,” said Dan Bartel, vice president of
worldwide sales, Garmin.
The nuvi
3500 offers lane assist with photoReal junction view, which realistically
displays road signs and junctions along the route with photographic detail to
clearly mark the correct lane to be in for interchanges and exits. Garmin’s
exclusive junction view database includes nearly 60,000 junction views in the
U.S. and Canada.
The nuvi
3590LMT’s Digital 3D Traffic uses information from the HD Radio Broadcasting
System to provide faster updates and more detailed coverage of side streets and
other secondary roads in major cities.
The nuvi
3590LMT is also compatible with Garmin Smartphone Link, an Android app that
provides live services to the PND. Smartphone Link creates a seamless
navigation experience between the nuvi and an Android smartphone allowing them
to communicate and share data.
Garmin recently acquired Centro GPS, the distributor of Garmin’s automotive, outdoor recreation, fitness
and marine products in Chile.
