Manufacturer's Description

The nüvi 1340T is an ultra-thin, simple-to-use, widescreen sat-nav with mapping for Western Europe. It has Lane Assist for help at upcoming junctions and ecoRoute™ to calculate a more fuel-efficient route. It also comes with Garmin’s unique speed camera warning system to help you drive safely. An optional CityXplorer™ download it will even direct you via public transport (information varies between cities) or give you instructions for walking to your destination so you can use your sat-nav in and out of the car.

Simple navigation

The nüvi 1340T has a clear, intuitive menu so you can just turn it on and go. You simply need to touch the screen to look up addresses and get turn-by-turn directions. It announces street names before you turn so you always know where you are going, for example, “Turn right at Dell Road”.

Lane Assist helps you get into the correct lane in plenty of time which is particularly useful near busy junctions. It illustrates up to nine lanes in the top left-hand corner of the main map screen, with the distance to the exit and which lanes to take.

Great on the go – driving, walking or on public transport

The fact that nüvi 1340T is only 15mm thick means you can take it anywhere. Use to its full potential by downloading cityXplorer™ via www.Garmin.co.uk/cityXplorer to navigate like a local. The enhanced pedestrian mode gives you directions for walking including footpaths and shortcuts through parks – places you wouldn’t be accessing while in your car. It also tells you where to catch trains, buses and tubes (dependent on the city), and how long it will take to reach your destination. cityXplorer even has public transport timetables to ensure you arrive at the station on time and help avoid long waits (dependent on the city).

To make the most of your Garmin sat-nav when exploring a new city, whether on a day trip, a holiday or for business, you can also add an optional AA City Guide. It tells you everything you need to know about your chosen city from attractions and places to eat, hotels and shops.

Speed cameras

Garmin has a unique, pan-European speed camera warning system, giving real-time, reliable, and accurate alerts. nüvi 1340T has the location of fixed, average speed, mobile and temporary cameras already built in. New or moved cameras are constantly tracked and the database is updated daily.

Go Green and save fuel

The ecoRoute™ fuel-saver feature enables you to choose a fuel-efficient route which could save you fuel and money. Simply choose the “less fuel” option and nüvi 1340T will calculate the route which will use the least fuel. You can also see the estimated cost of your journey as you plan it and get scored for your driving performance with the Driving Challenge – good for identifying areas for improvement.

Where am I? safety feature

The Where am I? safety feature can be very helpful if you break down or need a certain service urgently. Just tap the car icon on your map screen for your exact coordinates, contact details for vehicle recovery services and directions to hospitals, police and petrol stations.

Anti-Theft feature

You can choose to activate The Garmin Lock™ anti-theft protection system to disable your Garmin sat-nav from performing any functions until a specific 4-digit PIN is typed in or the unit is taken to a predetermined location. Simply enter a 4-digit PIN and select a Security Location.  Write down your PIN and keep it in a safe place.  Each time you turn on the GPS, enter your PIN to unlock the GPS.  If you forget your PIN, you can go to your Security Location. Note: If you forget your PIN, and your Security Location, Garmin cannot unlock your GPS over the phone; you must send your GPS to Garmin to get it unlocked.

Extras for your Garmin

There are lots of extras you can add to your Garmin sat-nav. These include travel guides such as AA Days Out, The Good Pub Guide, historical audio tours and more. You can also have some fun by adding celebrity voices. If you’re a music fan you may want to download the locations festivals in the UK, or if you want to go on a shopping trip the locations of shopping centres. See www.garmin.co.uk/garminextras for more information.

Customer Reviews

Garmin is good
Found the unit to have some excellent features, gave all the information one required with one exception and that is the instructions can be a bit late being spoken if in heavy fast traffic. We found the display of each local speed limit on the screen extremely helpful in not exceeding things (well hopefully) when recently travelling down through France.

Our fourth GPS over the years and definately the best we have used.Good value for money.

first vehicle navigator
This was my first purchase of vehicle navigator but the manufacturer was chosen after many years excellent service from Garmin including the replacement of the display from a sailing GPS free of charge after over ten tears excellent service. This unit has not disappointed and so far has performed faultlessly. I was particularly impressed with the way in which it announced that there was a delay ahead and it redirected me via an alternative route. The ETA display was also very accurate allowing me to arrange follow up appointments very easily. The only slight problem I have had was that it once directed me a few hundred yards away from my destination but I think that was more of a postcode problem than any fault with the unit.
So far very impressed and I would certainly recommend it

Two Points
1. I could not get any traffic info until I registered the device and updated software.
After that traffic info worked as intended.
2. There is no 3D lane outlook on this model (the picture in Amazon description is wrong).
It has only small "lane assist" icon in the left top corner.

It is diffcult to get additional maps - Garmin prices are shocking, third parties unreliable.
Otherwise good device.
