The Garmin Nuvi 3597 GPS w/ Lifetime Maps and HD Traffic is everything and more you could want in a navigation system. Garmin Nuvi 3597LMTHD GPS has a 5.0" high resolution display with "pinch and zoom" capability, so you can quickly get a closer look at any onscreen information. Dual-orientation capabilities allow you to use Garmin Nuvi 3597-LMTHD G.P.S. either horizontally or vertically. Garmin Nuvi 3597L.M.T.H.D. Navigation System arrives loaded with detailed maps of North America.

HD Digital Traffic receives updates up to every 30 seconds, making it up to 10 times faster than other traffic systems. That means, driving 60 mph, your Garmin Nuv 3597 Traffic GPS is able to receive traffic messages up to every half-mile. On the road, a few seconds' notice can save minutes or even hours of delay. HD Digital Traffic has a greater coverage area to include interstates, highways and secondary roads - in fact, up to 3 times more side road coverage. HD Digital Traffic has the capacity to receive significantly more traffic messages. That valuable information can help you decide whether to stay the course or find another route. HD Digital Traffic is dedicated traffic information and it's free - no distracting advertising and no subscription fees, ever. On the Garmin Novi 3597 LMTHD, traffic alerts appear to the side of your map, so your driving map remains onscreen. Traffic messages are spoken, too. Garmin Traffic is voice activated, so it responds to spoken requests. Garmin Traffic can give details about the situation, such as how many minutes of delay to expect and if there are any possible detours. It can even confirm whether or not you are on the fastest route. Lifetime traffic entitles your Garmin nuvi GPS to receive free traffic information for its entire useful life.

Garmin nuvi 3597LMTHD Traffic Navigation System has the luxury of voice-activated navigation. Speak, and your device intelligently responds; your hands can remain safely on the wheel. Of course, you can also navigate using the touchscreen interface.

No more stress from trying to read street names. Garmin Real Voice is refined speech technology that sounds more like a natural, friendly voice. Garmin Real Directions and Garmin Real Voice are features that are only available in our line of GPS navigators. Sync a Bluetooth-enabled device, such as your smartphone, for hands-free calling through its integrated microphone and speaker. Safely stow your phone in a glove compartment, pocket or purse and still make and take calls without moving your hands from the steering wheel or your eyes from the road. Smartphone Link is a free mobile app that connects with your Android smartphone. When paired, your Garmin Nuvi 3597-L.M.T.H.D. GPS can use your phone's existing data plan to share information - such as where you parked, POIs and your destination. Smartphone Link also gives you access to Garmin Live Services, useful real-time information such as weather and traffic conditions. Garmin Live Services are available free and by subscription.
