Enhanced features such as photo navigation, park position recall and route planning tools all combine to deliver superior navigation.

•Safer handsfree operation
The nüvi 860 provides truly ‘touch-free’ operation. With an innovative ‘push-to-talk’ steering wheel remote, it can be safely operated through spoken word. Simply click the remote control and speak the menu option to go straight to the desired function. You won’t even have to remember a set of commands – nüvi 860 understands everyday speech and shortcut phrases for points of interest commands like ‘find nearest cash point’, popular functions such as ‘play MP3’ and to return to the main screen – all handsfree from start to finish.
Touch-free phone calls
With built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, microphone and speaker, nüvi 860 is set up for truly handsfree mobile phone calls. Sync up your compatible Bluetooth phone and manage your calls through the nüvi 860. By keeping both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, you can give the road your full attention and avoid breaking the law. Find and dial phone numbers in your mobile address book or nuvi’s points of interest database on command. nüvi also has an integral FM transmitter, which broadcasts your phone calls, turn-by-turn directions, street names, MP3s and audio books through your car stereo for a safer drive, in total.
Simply touch the colour screen or activate speech recognition and speak your commands for turn-by-turn spoken directions to your destination. It even announces the names of exits and streets so you never need to take your eyes off the road.
