Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 885/885T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition
Digital camera Review: 1.5 hrs of battery; speakers - too low, remote mike strap a joke, where to speak command does not work
Summary: 2 Stars
I own this GPS for 1 week, really like some cool features like lane assist, 3D lane change views, speed limits, bluetooth etc., I am from old school GPS - still own 330 street pilot, this one is not a major upgrade in terms of maps, as it still takes to some crazy routes closer to my home just like my old GPS. Probably in a new city, I wouldn't even recongnize that factor though. I wanted to either buy 1490T or 885T, but finally settled for this for mp3 capability.
Battery life is terrible - to test I 100% charged the GPS and switched on to watch TV and exactly the battery life lasted for 1 hour 38 minutes opposed to the advertised 4 hours battery. Probably you need to take your car charger even for shorter trips while you travel.
Remote (for speech recognition) strap which is suppose to attach to your steering wheel is very short. I have a steering wheel cover and it is way too short and for this reason, I am not going to remove the cover.
While you speak "where to" command, it doesn't recognize for so many attempts - takes atleast 7 times, by that time, I am fed up already and touch it activate manually.
No Europe map, No 3D Buildings view. I would wait for the next Garmin to overcome these and I have no clue when Garmin is going to release the new one. As others mentioned speakers volume is way too low and FM transmitter is a real joke.
