New Garmin Drive navigation: extra-wide and smart for motorhomes

Ultra-wide display for maximum visibility

The new models immediately stand out due to their sleek, edge-to-edge display. You can choose between a 7.1-inch or an extra-large 8.8-inch high-resolution screen. Despite its size, the design is engineered so that it does not block your view of the road.

The controls are intuitive and modern. You can select destinations via the touchscreen, but also using voice commands. Simply tapping and swiping is enough to effortlessly plan your route.

Smart assistance on the road

Garmin has packed the new series with handy features that make every journey safer and more pleasant. You won’t just see the route, but also important warnings for:

  • Approaching traffic lights and stop signs
  • Sharp bends and sudden speed changes
  • School zones and other key locations

If you pair the sat nav system with the Garmin Drive app on your smartphone, you get access to real-time information. This includes live traffic data, weather forecasts, fuel prices, or the availability of charging stations for electric vehicles. You can also easily find the best hotels or restaurants thanks to traveler reviews from TripAdvisor.

Extras for the Garmin Drive navigation: the Camper Pack

For campers, the optional Truck and Camper Pack is a real lifesaver. With this pack, you can perfectly tailor the route planner to your motorhome or caravan. You enter the dimensions and weight of your vehicle, and the system calculates a suitable route.

This pack offers even more benefits:

  • Road warnings: You will be warned about steep inclines, sharp bends, or weight restrictions.
  • Satellite imagery: View campsites and arrival locations from above with crystal-clear aerial photos.
  • Campsite guides: A pre-installed directory with data from the likes of ACSI, Campercontact, and the Michelin Green Guide helps you find the perfect spot.
  • Weather overlay: Receive warnings for strong winds on your route.

How much does the new Garmin Drive sat nav cost?

The new Garmin Drive navigation systems are available immediately. Recommended retail prices range between €299.99 and €349.99, depending on the chosen model.

The Truck and Camper Pack is a one-time purchase and costs €149.99. You can buy this pack directly with your navigation system or activate it later via the Garmin Drive app. For more information, visit garmin.com/automotive.
