Simply speaking, nüvi 850 is one
advanced navigator. It features speech recognition (SR), a widescreen
display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter and more. Like the rest of
the wide nüvi 800-series, just speak a menu option and nüvi obeys your
command.
Speak Commands
nüvi 850 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.

With nüvi 850'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.
Navigate With Ease
nüvi 850 comes ready to go right out of
the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps and millions of
points of interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations,
ATMs and more. Speak a menu option or touch the color screen to enter
a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and
turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and
streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition,
nüvi 850 accepts
custom
points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and
lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Where am I?
Keep track of yourself and your car
with nüvi 850. 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 850 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 850 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 850's wide screen. In addition, nüvi 850 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
nüvi 850's high-sensitivity internal
(non flip-up) antenna gives it a sleeker, thinner design than the nüvi
600-series, making it easy to slip in your pocket or purse. Its
rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by
car or on foot.

850 includes many “must have” entertainment and travel tools including
