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.
GPS Devices: Voice Activated GPS
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 730 GPS, which are the three most prominent voice activated models (also referred to as ‘voice command GPS’).
