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 pictures from Garmin
Connect™ Photos 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.
