Product Details
Garmin nuvi 270 GPS Receiver with Free Bean Bag Mount
For jet setters who need to get there without getting lost, nüvi 270 packs preloaded maps for both North America and Europe and millions of destinations in a sleek, stylish navigator. The nüvi 270 is affordably priced and simple to use.

The nüvi 270 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for both North America and Europe, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nüvi 270 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Like the rest of the nüvi 200-series, nüvi 270 sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.

Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 270 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom vehicles that show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards let you add additional features. Purchase Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on attractions and our Savers Guide for information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize nüvi for your travel needs.

    I get lost easily and recently moved close to a large city that has everything you could ever want to do (restaurants, theatre, parks, etc.) and now that I have the Nuvi 270 (my husbands idea) I'm not nervous to try to find out where I need to go by myself. And it's so much easier than trying to refer to a piece of paper in the passenger seat beside you, losing your place in directions, and dropping the paper and not being able to reach it.It's so easy to use, my mother in law (not necessarily technology savvy) got a Garmin. I've only used it in the United States and not Europe, but it's been a great asset to me and I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Don't judge a book by its cover

    It looks cool, but it doesn't serve it's purpose. The GPS unit moves when it's attached to the bean bag - not good for people with motion sickness..

          This product is a great buy! I am not that great at electronics and this GPS was so user friendly and easy to use! We have used it traveling and just going around town - helps in rerouting around traffic. If I can use it - anyone can!

            My husband is directionally challenged and electronically challenged. I was a little nervous about getting this for him, figuring our teenagers would have to help him A LOT. Not so! Very easy to use and very helpful to him as he drives around our city on business.

              I "road trip" to sporting events frequently and since I am unfamiliar to these areas this gadget is a true lifesaver! Easy to use and very well supported by technology. Argues with me sometimes but that just makes the trip interesting!

                  Even though you can turn off the voice it can get annoying, especially if you decide to continue when it suggests turning. Sometimes it tells you to turn left (or right) when the screen shows turning the opposite direction, can be confusing.

                  Otherwise a fun and useful gadget.
