Join the voice activated GPS
revolution!
Voice activated GPS navigation is safer than prior versions
of GPS systems, as you can now give voice commands such as addresses, find points of interest, or find where
you’re located without taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.
There aren’t yet an
abundance of units with voice activated GPS functionality, but we have compared below the features of
the Garmin Nuvi 855, Magellan Maestro 4250, and TomTom GO 930 GPS, which are the three most
prominent voice activated models (also referred to as 'voice command
GPS').
