Thin New Design
The nüvi units are just over a half-inch thick and weigh only 5.7 ounces, which means they'll fit easily into your pocket and can be taken just about anywhere.

See More
With nüvi 1300's widescreen display, you'll always get the big picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos, and more in bright, brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read--from any direction.

Easy-to-Use Touchscreen Interface
One of Garmin's core beliefs is to continually enhance the simplicity of the user experience. The nüvi on-screen menus are logically arranged, with clearly labeled, colorful icons, making it easy to enter data and get to the information you need quickly.

Navigate with Ease
nüvi 1300 comes ready to go right out of the box, with pre-loaded City Navigator 48 states NT street maps and millions of points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs, and more, with map data provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. Enter a destination on the touchscreen, and nüvi takes you there with 2-D or 3-D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Text to speech enhances standard sat-nav voice guidance by speaking the names of places and roads. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, nüvi 1300 accepts custom points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Pedestrian Navigation
With the Public Transit feature, you can navigate using buses, tramway, metro, and suburban rail systems with optional CityXplorer content. Downloadable CityXplorer data and city guides are available for purchase and download from garmin.com for many cities.

Where Am I?
Keep track of yourself and your car with nüvi 1300. 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. The nüvi 1300 even remembers where you parked. It automatically marks your position when you remove it from the windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find your way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded lots, such as amusement parks, stadiums, and malls.

HotFix Satellite Prediction
Garmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to three days after the device was last turned off.

ecoRoute
With this feature, drivers can view suggestions for fuel-efficient navigation, conserving both money and fuel:

  • Save Gas and Money--Now more than ever, we're all looking for ways to conserve both money and fuel. Whether we're taking fewer trips or carpooling with family and friends, saving resources is a top priority. It was that thinking that led to the creation of ecoRoute--Garmin's free software update for compatible nüvi products that allows you to find more fuel-efficient routes when navigating and even track their fuel usage. With ecoRoute, you may be able to save gas and money by adopting smarter driving habits.
  • Select Fuel-efficient Routes--With ecoRoute, you have a "less fuel" option as a routing preference. When selected, nüvi will determine if more fuel-efficient routes exist based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route.
  • Get Fuel and Mileage Reports--Through ecoRoute's Fuel Report and Mileage Report, you can focus on your habits even when you're not behind the wheel. Fuel Report tracks fuel usage over time, and Mileage Report monitors mileage and fuel usage on a per-trip basis. In addition, Mileage Report makes it easy for business travelers to keep track of distance traveled for company reimbursements. You'll have a detailed report for each trip and the miles driven. You also can customize your nüvi by entering your car's fuel economy and the current price of gas.

MSN Direct Compatible
Add the GDB 55 receiver for MSN Direct. With dynamic content from MSN Direct, you can avoid traffic backups when you travel with your compatible Garmin device. MSN Direct broadcasts traffic data to your GPS navigator so you can find the best route through traffic, check traffic flow, and receive accident warnings.

Avoid Traffic Tie-ups by Adding the GTM 25
The GTM 25 provides North America traffic information to compatible Garmin GPS navigators. Using this data, your device alerts you to local traffic tie-ups and displays current traffic levels. The receiver also acts as an in-vehicle power charger. Traffic provided by NAVTEQ Traffic.

Navigate by Photo with Garmin Connect Photos.

Search for locations on Google Maps or Mapquest, then transfer the addresses directly to your Garmin GPS navigator.

Navigate by Photo with Garmin Connect Photos
Using Garmin's Connect Photos Web site, you can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google's Panoramio photo-sharing community and download them to the nüvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide.

  • Choose from Panoramio's collection of photos from around the world.
  • Easy-to-use interface displays photos on Google Maps.
  • Search for photos by location name or map area boundary.
  • Transfer photos directly from Garmin Connect to device with the Garmin Communicator.
  • View photos in Google Earth.
  • Supports Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, and Safari 3+ on Windows and Mac.

Take It with You

4 out of 5 stars Very easy to use   November 15, 2009
Daniel J. Pollak (Juneau, AK)
I just moved to a new city and was constantly getting lost so I wanted to buy an easy-to-use GPS unit. I've never owned a GPS before so I can't compare this product to others, but I was able to make good use of this unit within minutes of taking it out of the box. The touch display and menu navigation are quite user friendly. I've already noticed that sometimes it has trouble with certain details of navigating in my locale (for example, it doesn't seem to realize that my home address is on an access-controlled expressway and thus does not provide instructions for taking and following the necessary exit). But I've noticed the same problem with the data on Google Maps so I think there must be limitations in the map data that both companies are using.


5 out of 5 stars Great Budget-Priced GPS   November 2, 2009
Clinton
I'll start off by saying that the Nuvi 1300 is the FIRST GPS device I have owned. I had been looking for one for quite a while, and I finally purchased the Nuvi 1300 when I went to Valley, Alabama. I didn't feel like looking at my Mapquest directions, so I bought the Nuvi. It was $199 + tax. Operation of the unit was painless, and it accurately directed me back to Mississippi. I have continued to use it everywhere I go so that I can see how well it works. It works exceptionally well, and at this price, paying an extra $15 for a USB cable is no big deal. It doesn't have the advanced features of some other GPS units, but it has to omit those functions to stay within the lower price range. All in all, it is a great device, and while I was second guessing my decision to keep the 1300 after reading several negative reviews, I must say that I'm glad I decided to keep it. Purchase the device, and you WON'T be disappointed. Plus, what's the big deal with the power cord? Why are so many people complaining about it?


1 out of 5 stars Piece of crap   October 25, 2009
D. Godavarty (Washington DC United States)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I used to have the Garmin 260W. Was fairly happy with the performance. So when I saw this Nuvi with a traffic receiver, I thought it might be a good deal.

This piece has so many issues:
a) Sometimes switches off randomly (even when connected to the power outlet). Sometimes doesn't switch on either.
b) The touch screen is moody. Doesn't become active sometimes. I have to wait for a while and try again to go through the menu
c) And finally, the directions are so so wrong! It sends me to places where there is nothing. I mean nothing. It says we have arrived and I am thinking where the hell I am. It has happened many times. When I first experienced this problem, I called up Garmin and they updated my maps. Didn't make any difference.

I am planning to return this and get a new GPS. I am not sure if Garmin even did some testing of this unit. Just too many issues!



2 out of 5 stars Really disappointing   October 14, 2009
P. Caldwell (Philadelphia)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got this after getting super lost one Sunday and loved the ease of use--no need for a manual. Text to speech is wonderful and clear, display is beautiful . . . and it keep getting me lost! Badly. In familiar territory, it has chosen routes I never even heard of: back country roads with no shoulders, hairpin turns, no street lights, all when I could have taken the turnpike or a 4 lane divided highway. Got lost in Baltimore on interstates, gave me the opposite of the correct turn in NJ. It just keeps happening. I'm using the default selection for routing ("fastest") so it's not like I chose eco-route or anything odd.
By contract, a Navteq unit I'm comparing it to never has gotten me lost once. Unfortunately, that unit has terrible TTS, so I may use distance and direction announcements only and skip the street names, but I got this thing to keep from getting lost and I've taken more bad turns and odd routes with the Garmin 1300 than I ever did on my own. Back it goes.



2 out of 5 stars power cord issue   October 4, 2009
William Erbacher
1 month after I purchased the power cord broke. Cord is big and bulky and bends at a right angle to plug into the navigator. The plug is a 2 piece construction and the combination of a heavy cord and a right angle caused it to break.
