Garmin DriveSmart 86 MT 8-Inch Car GPS Navigator
Garmin DriveSmart 86 MT 8-Inch Car GPS Navigator — Product description
The Garmin DriveSmart 86 MT is a big-screen car navigator with a bright 8-inch 1280 x 800 display, preloaded North America maps, and free lifetime updates. Bluetooth calling, text-to-speech, and a built-in traffic receiver keep you moving with your eyes on the road.
The Garmin DriveSmart 86 MT is a big-screen car navigator built for drivers who want maps they can actually read at a glance. The 8-inch 1280 x 800 display is bright and sharp, so exits and turn arrows stay clear even in daylight. It comes preloaded with detailed street maps of North America, and Garmin backs it with free lifetime map updates, so your roads stay current for years.
Voice matters when your eyes should be on the road. Text-to-speech reads street names out loud, and Bluetooth pairing lets you take hands-free calls straight from the unit. Points of interest help you find fuel, food, and rest stops so you don't have to hunt. The built-in traffic receiver watches the road ahead and reroutes you around slowdowns.
Everything you need to get rolling is in the box: the traffic receiver, a vehicle power cable, and a suction cup mount. Battery life runs about an hour off the charger, plenty to set up your route before you plug into vehicle power for the drive.
