Garmin NuVI 2565LM GPS

While most smart phones these days come with built-in GPS, for a true on-the-road navigation experience, nothing beats a proper GPS unit. And the current king of these, in India at least, is the Garmin Nuvi 2565LM. A 5" touchscreen unit with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels is the heart of the system, which comes preloaded with all-India maps and a lifetime subscription to free updates.

Apart from a thoroughly populated list of every point of interest (read restaurants, petrol stations, hospitals, et al), the 2565LM also comes with some smart features like a trip planner, which allows you to set up multiple destinations for a single journey.

Feed in the mileage of your car and the price of fuel, the system can even, over time, based on average travelling speeds and stopping time, calculate the most economical routes for you to take on your everyday commutes. The 2565LM also has a very interesting feature which can show you a picture representation of upcoming complicated junctions, and shows you exactly how to navigate through them.

This brilliant device can be all yours for a cool sum of ` 18,900, and for the optional driving recorder camera, you'll have shell out an extra ` 7,500. Of course, for a thorough "road test" of the Garmin Nuvi 2565LM, log on to www.zigwheels.com.
