Garmin’s Nuvi 275T is a multi-featured GPS navigation system designed to provide drivers and travelers with precise turn-by-turn directions. The Nuvi 275T is exactly the same as the Nuvi 265T, except for the additional European maps included along with the North American ones, all of which are updatable via the mini-USB port. The device’s 2D and 3D mapping system is complimented by an integrated text-to-speech system, allowing motorists to keep their focus on the road instead of the GPS receiver. Released in late 2008, this GPS has been designed to improve upon the 200-series predecessors, by adding free (ad supported) real-time traffic updates as well as hands-free Bluetooth connectivity for compatible mobile phones. Compared to the earlier 200-series, the Nuvi 275T also features faster satellite communication, a redesigned 3.5” antiglare screen interface to provide more information, and photo navigation so one can use landmarks for added confidence when navigating. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery should suffice for the average trip, lasting approximately 4 hours.
