Stay ahead of the curve with nüvi 855. This premium navigator features
voice-activated navigation and lane assist with junction view. Now you can keep
both hands on the wheel, tell nüvi where to go and maneuver complicated
interchanges with ease. Like the rest of the 805-series, it comes with a
widescreen display, preloaded maps and more.
Speak Commands
nüvi 855 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.
Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late
No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane
assist with junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn
or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate. It
realistically displays road signs and junctions on your route along with arrows
that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
See More
With nüvi 855'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.
Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 855's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where
to?" and "View map." Speak a menu option or 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 detailed
City Navigator NT street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs) and
features digital elevation maps that give you a big picture of the surrounding
terrain. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). And with HotFix
satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there
quicker.
Find Yourself, Your Car
Keep track of yourself and your car with nüvi 855. 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 855 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
nüvi 855 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 the 855's wide screen. In addition, nüvi 855
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
Like the rest of the nüvi 805-series, nüvi 855 sports a sleek, slim design
and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion
battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 855 includes many “must have”
entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player
(subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency
converters, Garmin Games, alarm clock and more. With the included wireless FM
transmitter¹, you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books,
through your vehicle's stereo. It's also compatible with lifetime traffic alerts
or MSN Direct (receiver purchase required for either option). With photo
navigation, you can download Google Panoramio pictures via our Garmin Connect
Photos website and navigate to them. The 855 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 such as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on
attractions.
