POI, anyone?
The nuvi 5000 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT North America street maps with millions of points of interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs, and more.

Stay away from those gingerbread houses . . .
The nuvi 5000 includes advanced navigational features to take the worry out of traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on the 5000's wide screen. In addition, nuvi 5000 automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an efficient route for errands, deliveries, or sales calls. This is perfect for any sort of delivery vehicle. It also displays speed limits for highways and Interstates. A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map. That way you can make a quick escape if anyone decides to fatten you up and eat you.
Where Am I?
Keep track of yourself and your rig with nuvi 5000. Just tap "Where Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact latitude and longitude coordinates. You know, just in case.
More than just getting from Point A to Point B
What makes the nuvi 5000 so much more valuable than other car GPS units? The simple fact that the nuvi 5000 is about more than just getting you from Point A to Point B; it's about enjoying the ride as well. nuvi 5000 includes many Òmust haveÓ entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. With nuvi 5000's included wireless FM transmitter you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, and audio books through your vehicle's stereo. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, as well as fun configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. You can choose anything from the normal (station wagon) to the slightly strange (dirtbike), to the just-plain-weird (rolling cannon). There are dozens of fun icons to choose from. Optional plug-in microSD cards let you add additional features to enhance your travel experience including language translation and detailed travel guides. Garmin's SaversGuide provides information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize your nuvi whether you're traveling or close to home. (Additional purchases and/or subscriptions required for some of the above features.) With all these features, it's safe to say nuvi 880 goes way beyond everyday navigation.
