400 Words Product Summary (1st Draft)

In Garmin's product description page, it introduces the GPS device's features and functionality which shows why Garmin is the product to get, "All in one, Garmin is the ONE". NUVI, an in-car-GPS device developed by Garmin, provides detailed maps and places of interest that comes with complimentary lifetime updates. Voice activated navigation, wifi and bluetooth are built in to allow users to navigate and answer calls safely hands-free.

NUVI allows users to tell them the full address before navigation, replies interactively to remind users that their hands can remain safely on the wheel. It also comes with a magnetic cradle that charges device when plugged in. An integrated driving recorder backups indisputable evidence in the event of accidents that can be viewed on a laptop.

Nuvi 4592 LM allows rerouting of path on-the-go, diverting the driver away from traffic and avoiding specific routes/tolls, sorts multiple destinations. It also has unique features such as predicting the driver’s favourite route “myTrends” and can even suggest eco-friendly routes “ecoRoute”.

In TomTom’s product review page, it tells us about what to expect from the product, some functions and bugs. TomTom GO Live 1535M is a product developed by TomTom provides several location searching applications such as Yelp, Expedia, Trip Advisor and Google. GO Live 1535M is also integrated with voice activated navigation and Bluetooth however there is no Wi-fi. The preview of traffic, fuel and speed cameras along the route are also integrated in the maps.

GO Live 1535M is able to recommend places of interests determined by home address, destination of the current route or city of choice. Setting destinations are also made easier with voice commands. GO Live 1535M is also able to post tweets on Twitter, with a touch of a button, to allow others to know your location and the estimated time of arrival. TomTom also links the GPS to a mobile application, MyDrive, which allows consumers to access their GPS.

In comparison, Nuvi has more components compared to GO Live with Wifi being the most prominent difference.  Also, Nuvi has more useful functionalities than the GO Live as it allows navigation and phone calls hands-free while GO Live only has voice commands for setting locations. Therefore, with the two points I feel that Nuvi has a better product than that of TomTom.
