The nuvi 1310 is simple-to-use with a clear, intuitive menu so you can just turn it on and go. 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.
Keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel with nuvi 1310's integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, microphone and speaker. Just pair with your compatible mobile phone and talk hands-free through the nuvi. You can also search for a place of interest on your Garmin nuvi (such as a hotel or restaurant) and call it simply by pressing the telephone icon on your sat nav's screen. It means you can stow your phone in your glovebox, bag or pocket and let your sat nav do the work. To see if your phone is compatible, go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth/phones.jsp
Just 15mm thick, this sleek and compact widescreen sat nav fits easily in your pocket making it great for use in or out of the car. 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.
Garmin has a unique, pan-European speed camera warning system, giving real-time, reliable, and accurate alerts. nuvi 1310 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.
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 nuvi 1310 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.
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.
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.
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for the money!,

This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 1310 Satellite Navigation System with UK & Ireland Mapping (Electronics)
i got this sat nav as an upgrade from my garmin 310 as i felt it was time for a newer unit.
i got the unit 3 days ago and as i do use the sat nav alot i thought i would share my opinion. First off when you get the box you are greeted with the sat nav facing upwards and instant impression is "its bigger but thinner!" so no messing about i instantly took it out the box and it felt light smooth matt finish on it, but sturdy i then looked at all the cables, you get the car charger, window suction holder and also a sticker pad for the dashboard which i use because i find the units size gives a rather bad blind spot on the window. i first connected it all up to the computer and instantly their was a firmware update required, done this and then went out to the car. intially put it on the window and let it get the signal, i then went into options were you have the usual garmin settings for map detail from least to max, voiees can be changed and you can also use the "eco route" and put in what your car does for mpg etc and as your driving along it gives you an idea of your carbon footprint, fuel cost, miles covered average speed etc, it also has a function were if you want to be really economical then you can use the function that tests your acceleration and braking times etc to try help you save. never used it much tbh. while driving along the unit keeps up with you and with each turns you make which you would expect. so i put a route into a destination i was going to and knew the road well, also set the settings for shorter route not fastest time as this usually goes to the motorway. the sat nav did try take me another route but i stuck to my guns and not long after it was telling me the road i was turning into, the speed limit along with my speed etc, the unit isnt the fastest for a detour route but that doesnt sometimes matter. the screen is clear but a little difficult the hit the letters sometimes if you are driving, not that i do this! the only reason i gave this 4 stars is because they havnt given you a cradle that holds the cable, so any time your not using the sat nav you have to tuck away the cable or is slides from the dashboard, but maybe im just being fussy!. overall great unit so far, newest maps loaded onto it with camera updates etc. at this price its far better than the new tomtom as ive used them aswell, the interface is just so much better and you wont be dissapointed! Garmin invest in their products and customer services, tomtom invest in their advertisment. Hope this helps

Great SatNav,
By impa1er (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 1310 Satellite Navigation System with UK & Ireland Mapping (Electronics)
I just had my Sony Nav-U stolen out of my car, so I've replaced it with a Garmin which seemed to be rated better than TomTom by those who've used both. I can certainly tell you it's miles better than Sony (who have exited the SatNav business by the way which is why you can't get map updates). The Nuvi is light, sleek, thin and very responsive. It takes no time to find addresses and calculate a route after the first time, Bluetooth seems loud and clear (though I haven't used it yet while driving), the guidance voices aren't too annoying, the interface is ultra-clear and uncluttered, the menu items and icons are really clear, the address input is very good and the whole thing is very intuitive to use. Who needs instructions? I've tried the Eco gadget challenge and it instantly made me want to be a more fuel-efficient driver as it scores your driving out of 100. I turned it off because I was in a hurry and didn't want to be reminded of my petrol-guzzling ways, but I'll definitely use it on the motorway.
The only three little things I'm a little disappointed by so far are that when you add more data to the screen, the screen is drastically reduced because the other info takes up so much space. The second thing that I'm disappointed by is how much the map updates and safety camera updates cost. No doubt it's a good little profit stream for Garmin, but if you want to stay up-to-date, be prepared to reach deep into your pockets. Thirdly, I haven't been able to figure out whether my Nuvi 1310 has traffic updates or not. Oh, and be patient with the website; everything you'd expect is there, it just might take you a little digging and logging in several times to find it.

2nd time lucky!,

This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 1310 Satellite Navigation System with UK & Ireland Mapping (Electronics)
Basically I'm happy with this sat nav although the first one that I received had a defective touchscreen and had to be returned. I particularly like the lane indication function which lets you know which lane to get into BEFORE you get to the junction or roundabout. I also like the current speed limit indicator which can also be used in conjunction with the speed camera thingy. I previously used my Road Angel which told me when a camera was coming up, but it didn't tell me what speed I should slow down to! Should I reduce speed by 10mph or should it be 20mph? Not that I speed a lot but the Garmin covers this and it makes life just that little bit easier. The bluetooth is handy as well. In effect this unit replaces my Road Angel and my handsfree unit, so it's a 3 in 1 which reduces the clutter of gadgets and wires around my driving area and that can't be a bad thing.
