Product Code: GARD71
The Garmin Drive 7.1 is a car sat nav with an ultrawide, edge-to-edge 7.1 inch display and a low-profile design that sits neatly out of the driver's line of sight. Choose routes and destinations directly from the map view using tap, swipe or voice control, with voice control available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Dutch and Swedish.
The Garmin Drive 7.1 shows upcoming traffic lights and stop signs along your route, plus driver alerts for sharp curves, speed changes, school zones, red light and speed camera warnings and more. It can also find EV charging stations along your route, filterable by charging power, with live availability shown via the Garmin Drive app.
Pair the Garmin Drive 7.1 with the Garmin Drive app on a compatible smartphone to add live traffic, real-time weather and dynamic fuel prices, and to send places from your phone straight to the sat nav. These live services use your phone's mobile data connection. The sat nav comes preloaded with street-level maps of the UK and Europe, and map and software updates are delivered over Wi-Fi.
