The Garmin Nuvi 860 features speech recognition, Bluetooth and real time traffic covering Western Europe, UK and France. With nüvi’s innovative speech recognition, you safely control nüvi’s interface with your voice — while keeping 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. Conveniently tell nüvi “Find Address” and speak an address to start navigating.
