NUVI allows driver 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.

One might argue that Garmin’s product provides the best navigation but it can easily be replaced by products like TomTom Go 600(TomTom International BV, n.d.). While these products are very similar, but TomTom Go 600 provides better features such as “Get in & Go” and real time traffic information.

TomTom Go 600’s “Get in & go” feature tracks driver navigation habit and predict the next location. This allows the driver to save the time needed searching for the address. NUVI 4592LM has a similar feature that is a voice-activated navigation,and this help the driver to input the address without using his hands. TomTom Go 600 scores in this feature as it saves time finding the location rather than having the need to say out the entire address.

The real time traffic information feature of TomTom Go 600 is a route calculator which gives the driver faster and accurate arrival times. This allow the driver to always know the fastest route to it destination. TomTom Go 600 also has the “world’s largest database of real-time travels”.

TomTom Go 600 also provides driver with safety camera alerts that allow driver to driver more comfortably without worries.

In conclusion, these products are very similar. They can be easily replaced by each other or another products. However, what set the benchmark is the accuracy of the data provided to the driver. TomTom GO 600 in a sense has better precision in data as compared to Nuvi 4592 LM. This shows that TomTom GO 600 is a better product.
