hey guys jon rettinger here and we've gone in car to give you a demonstration of the garmin nuvi phones g 60s core feature the navigation system so I've got the car mount here and you can also make use of the mini USB port on the back and plug it into your car listening has a full charge so I'm not going to use it got to make sure you set the brightness to not time out as well so it mounted just like you'd find any other garmin gps and the operating system just aligns itself when you turn it into landscape so to start the gps you can do it one of two ways you can either hit search or view map if you hit Search you're going to be brought into a very familiar garmin looking interface any of you that have a standalone garmin gps unit one of the new v's you're going to immediately recognize this it looked just like it would on any other device you can search by points of interest you can set your home you've accessed yellowpages address favorites recently found upcoming events movie times gas prices contacts if their addresses are stored your coordinates or you can browse maps so as i mentioned in my previous descriptions of the g60 the dr some premium features that are offered with this when you buy the g60 and you just buy the phone itself you have access to the navigation functionality no additional charge the maps are stored locally on the device so you don't have to worry about having a data connection however things like gas prices and movie times require a premium subscription to AT&T which as of right now i believe is about five dollars so to show you an example if you hit movie times it's going to check for that premium subscription so just know that if you're looking to get this and use it just as a navigator you're not going to get some of that premium functionality and that includes live traffic updates right now checking for premium subscription service so it's not going to find it so I'll just cancel out and go back so let's go ahead and see what the navigation looks like since we are sitting here in a car I'm going to go ahead and put it in a dress so we'll search for how that we do points of interest yet fueled bank shopping food let's pick some food we'll pick Asian food I do love Chinese food so you can pick pick a place you can either call it right from here since obviously obviously a phone view map or go we're just going to go calculating the route please drive to highlight it round and this does have text to speech so it will actually say the name of the street as you're going so I'm going to put on my seatbelt and i'm going to start driving you can see what this looks like in a real time and driving environment so tell me to proceed to know crush street so i'm going to proceed to know Chris tree quite obviously and you can hear what the navigation sounds like and what it looks like and the game throws you that have used the garment this is going to be extremely familiar to you and there you go and I'm just gonna keep doing that until you get to where you want to go there isn't an audio ding that tells you when to turn you actually have the option to set that if you like I turned it off of like the lady to not yell at me as much as possible miles so you can see that the navigation system just works as what any other standalone navigation unit okay so we just arrived at the location and I want to show you some of the menu options that change as using the GPS so I hit the back button and we go back to the home screen here notice I've got new icons on the bottom I've got stopped and detour so if you happen to back out of your gps functionality you are actually going to get access to some of that same navigation functionality from the home screen of the phone and certainly the other menu options are still there as well so this is your navigator and obviously at your phone as well so does it handle accepting calls when they're coming through as you're doing your navigation so I'm going to go ahead and have somebody call me right now and we'll see how this takes it so it interrupts navigation go ahead and hit answer a client we will answer the call hello so as you can see we're documenting our phone call and we got the option to hang up or continue the columns we like and goes right into speaker and the navigation continues while you're making your phone call so you have the option of calling while you are navigating all via hands-free if you have a bluetooth headset connected it'll be routed right to the bluetooth and then the call will end when the call ends so from a phone and a navigation standpoint you're not going to get a better standalone navigator than garmin and that same philosophy follows through to the phone or not going to get a better phone navigator then you're going to find with garmin all the other functionality is the operating system the OS the email the text messaging you know that's another story and we'll discuss that during the review but right now I want you guys to see how this handled phone calls now if you can also go through and make phone calls while you're in the navigator mode you can just back out of navigation and go right to your phone here and make phone calls and then go back to navigation and it's going to keep the speaker phone functionality on for you if you have Bluetooth connected again you can use that as well anyway guys
