Navigation is easier than ever

The Garmin Drive 8.8" GPS Navigator combines Garmin’s trusted automotive navigation with a striking 8.8" ultrawide HD multi-touch display. The large edge-to-edge screen features a 1600 x 720 resolution and wide 20:9 aspect ratio, giving drivers an expansive view of maps, upcoming turns and important travel information without the bulk of a traditional large-format navigator.

A refreshed map interface gives Garmin Drive a modern look and makes common navigation functions easier to access. Tap directly on the map to bring up the “Where To?” menu, where you can quickly search for addresses, fuel, restaurants, shopping, lodging and other points of interest. Detailed North American street maps come preloaded, with ongoing map updates available over Wi-Fi or through Garmin Express.

Connect your compatible smartphone through the Garmin Drive app to receive useful real-time information while traveling. Live traffic helps you spot congestion and potential delays, while live weather keeps you informed of conditions along your route and at your destination. Current fuel prices and nearby gas stations can also be displayed, helping make longer trips easier to plan.

The Garmin Drive 8.8" also makes traveling in an electric vehicle more convenient with built-in EV charging station information. Search for chargers along your route, filter stations by charging power and, when connected to the Garmin Drive app, view live availability at compatible locations. Garmin driver alerts provide added awareness of upcoming hazards, sharp curves and speed changes, while traffic sign information can show upcoming stop signs and traffic lights along your route.

Voice control lets you tell the navigator where you want to go without having to navigate through menus, while hands-free Bluetooth calling and smart notifications add even more convenience when paired with a compatible smartphone. Tripadvisor traveler ratings help you discover popular hotels, restaurants and attractions, and points of interest found through the Garmin Drive app can be sent directly from your phone to the navigator. With 32 GB of internal storage and its impressive new ultrawide screen, the Garmin Drive 8.8" offers a premium navigation experience for drivers who want maximum screen space.
