At a time when everyone is trying to make their paychecks and their gas tanks go the extra mile, we’re excited to bring you ecoRoute, a free software update that helps ease growing pressures on personal budgets and the environment.
“Many of the biggest challenges currently facing people around the world involve the economy and the environment,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales, in preparation for the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. “As the global leader in satellite navigation, we embrace the opportunity to be the leader in fuel-efficient, eco-friendly navigation.”
In addition to “faster time” and “shorter distance” for route preference, ecoRoute lets nüvi users choose “less fuel” as the best way to save gas and money. Through ecoRoute’s Fuel Report, Mileage Report and fuel-saving tips, you can focus on your fuel conservation even when you’re not behind the wheel. And you can customize your nüvi to fit your vehicle by accessing the “vehicle profile” under ecoRoute in the tools menu. There, you can enter your car’s fuel economy and the current price of gas to help nüvi better calculate your savings. Visit www.garmin.com/ecoroute for more information and watch the blog for ecoRoute updates.
