nüvi® 1200 easily fits in a pocket and won’t stretch your wallet either, thanks to regional mapping and its slim design. This ultra-thin GPS announces streets by name and calculates a more fuel-efficient route with ecoRoute™.

Slim Down. Take It With You

Twenty-five percent slimmer than other nüvis, the 1200 and widescreen 1300-series are ideal traveling companions. nüvi 1200 easily fits in your pocket or purse, and its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. Take advantage of the 1200's new Public Transit mode by downloading optional CityXplorer™ content (coming soon) for select cities to navigate via subways, trams, buses and more.

Get Turn-by-Turn Directions

nüvi 1200's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT street maps for the continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico or one European region or country (click versions tab to view all), millions of points of interest (POIs) and 2-D or 3-D maps. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. With the 1200's enhanced user interface, you can slide your finger to conveniently scroll between screens. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). And with HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Go Beyond Navigation

Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 1200 saves you gas and money with ecoRoute — a green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. The 1200 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can download pictures from Garmin Connect™ Photos and navigate to them. It's also compatible with lifetime traffic alerts or MSN® Direct (receiver purchase required for either option). With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know your location. Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations. The 1200 features Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom custom voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD™ cards.

New Garmin GPS Collar for Hunting Dogs:

2008-06-27T12:40:00.000-04:00

June 27, 2008

Source of information: Garmin

“The new DC 30 collar is designed to stand up to the torturous abuse of hunting dogs. Whether it’s hounds crashing through thick and swampy woods, or bird dogs bounding through dense CRP fields, the DC 30 is made to take the beating that working dogs dish out daily,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “And the new configuration also makes mounting the collar a cinch – while improving reception.”
The DC 30 collar’s main housing is weighted to sit below the dog’s neck, while a small, low-profile GPS antenna is integrated into the collar strap and positioned on top of the dog’s neck, providing a clear view of satellites with minimal rotation. The transmitter antenna originates from the lower housing, and has been redesigned for more flexibility and ruggedness. No counterbalance or harness is needed. The weight for the transmitter plus antenna is 4.1 ounces, and the entire DC 30 weighs just 8.7 ounces.
Used in conjunction with the Astro 220 receiver, the system pinpoints exactly where your dog is and what he’s doing – running, pointing, or treeing – even in dense cover, up to seven miles away, depending on terrain.
The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System requires very little configuration straight out of the box, and is extremely simple to use. Once the transmitter and receiver acquire a GPS signal, the receiver automatically lets users know the location of their dog. Unlike old radio telemetry collars, the Astro features a dog page that shows the precise direction and distance to a dog – even indicating if it is running, on point, or treeing quarry – and does it all without the annoyance of beeper collars. Unlike cellular tracking systems, there are no subscriptions or setup fees required to use the device.
Astro can track up to ten dogs per receiver at once, and the collar gives location updates every five, 10, or 30 seconds (user selectable). Battery life is 17-36 hours (based on update rate) on the rechargeable DC 30 collar and 24 hours on the Astro 220 receiver, which is powered by two AA batteries. Both the DC 30 collar and the Astro 220 receiver are completely waterproof.
The Astro also has a map page to illustrate where a dog is and where it has been – in relation to the hunter – and allows hunters to determine if they have covered nearby ground. Garmin’s unique Covey Counter™ lets hunters mark the precise location, time of day, and elevation where they encountered their quarry – and users can easily note the number of birds flushed and how many were taken. The Astro also comes packed with new hunting-specific icons, to easily mark and identify bird flushes, treed raccoons, food plots, tree stands, cover, ATVs, and other outdoor-related features.
Besides being a state-of-the-art dog tracking device, the Astro is also a full-featured handheld GPS based on the GPSMAP® 60CSx, with a sunlight-readable color display and a highly sensitive GPS receiver that works even under a thick tree canopy or in deep canyons. So when the hunting season is over, the Astro can pull double-duty for hiking, boating, or car trips.
The Astro has a microSD card slot that allows users to insert optional pre-programmed topo maps or road maps, which can be invaluable in an unfamiliar area. Topo maps give hunters an idea of the most productive areas to hunt, while road maps feature the same basic functions as an automotive GPS navigation unit – even in rural areas. The optional road map data can also give turn-by-turn directions to motels, gas stations, restaurants, and even veterinarians.
The Astro also calculates area, which is ideal for determining the acreage of a piece of property or the exact size of a food plot. The unit has location-specific sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset tables (ideal for determining legal hunting hours) and a hunting and fishing calendar that suggests the best times to be out in the field.
The new DC 30 collar is included as part of the Astro GPS Dog Tracking system, which also contains an Astro 220 receiver, user’s manual, power/data cables, Trip & Waypoint Manager CD, and a carrying case for a suggested retail price of $649.99. The DC 30 tracking collar sold separately is $199.99. The DC 30 collar is compatible with current Astro GPS Dog Tracking Systems as well. For current Astro DC20 owners wishing to upgrade to the DC 30, Garmin is offering a $50.00 rebate for a limited time only.
Garmin has also developed a new Astro portable long range antenna, sold separately. The accessory is designed to increase the range of the hunter’s handheld receiver, by up to three miles. When a dog travels outside the Astro’s range, the antenna can be lengthened to over a meter and attached directly to the Astro 220 via a one-meter coaxial cable. The antenna features a molded handle and lanyard, and measures just a quarter meter long when stored – small enough to be carried in a hunting vest when not in use. The handheld antenna has a list price of $69.99.
The DC 30 is expected to be available in third quarter 2008. For more details and an interactive demo of the Astro GPS Dog Tracking System, visit www.garmin.com/astro.

Discount GPS Navigation publishes articles on the products we offer-bringing awareness of new GPS units, systems and innovation to our customers.
We hope you enjoy this article which covers Garmin GPS units available to the consumer.

Article:
Garman GPS is really Garmin GPS. Definitely, Garmin has become the most recognized name in the manufacture of consumer GPS products. Their name appears to have become one and the same with the GPS product. The company has an exceptional history for producing quality and adaptable GPS units.
When Garmin began their goal was simple. Their goal was to create tools to make navigation by people as simple as possible. The GPS products that they have created are used for outdoor enjoyment, aviation, fitness, automotive, and marine purposes. Each category provides numerous options to suit your needs and financial budget.
One example of text to speech functionality is on the Garmin StreetPilot c340. This function provides the option of operating hands free so you do not have to take your eyes off of the road. This allows you to keep your focus where it should be. On the road. There is no need to look at the display as you hear all the information that you need.
Operating like this allows you to hear instructions such as "Turn left at next intersection" well ahead of time so you can react smoothly to the instruction. A great plus when you are traveling in a strange city, and are running late for an appointment. You an also receive up to the minute traffic information to help avoid traffic jams, or construction re-routing allowing you to reach your destination faster and safer.
You can also get a unit that will update satellite weather data that has colorful maps and can provide warnings on potentially threatening weather. Although we have barely scratched the surface of the automotive offerings, there is so much more that Garmin has to offer. Being customer focused they have created products with simple menus, options that are logical, and instinctive features.

Whether you call it Garman or Garmin they have:
Automotive products to assist drivers get where they are going easily while enjoying the journey.
Marine units that complement your detailed charts with other important information.
Aviation units that provide technology to provide pilots with at-a-glance, accurate information.
Fitness tools that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of your workout, hikers, geocachers and campers enjoy the ability to retrace routes and save routes already traveled for future use.
And even wireless applications that provide GPS capabilities to your smart phone.
Check out the options available from Garmin. They have whatever you are looking for. And who knows what they will create next?
