nüvi® 1260 is big on features and small on profile. This ultra-thin navigator has preloaded maps for both Australia and New Zealand, hands-free calling and ecoRouteTM to calculate a more fuel-efficient route.
Take It With You
Twenty-five percent slimmer than other nüvis, you can take the ultra-thin 1260 anywhere. It easily fits in your pocket or purse, and its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.
Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 1260's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Map". Touch the colour screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® Australia and New Zealand street maps, over 612,000 points of interest (POIs) in Australia, 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most major roads in Australia. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. With the 1260's enhanced user interface, you can slide your finger to conveniently scroll between screens. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). And with HotFixTM satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
Keeping you safe on the road
Speed limits are now provided for most major metropolitan areas, most major road networks and interconnecting roads across Australia. nüvi's speed display will turn red once you are over the speed limit. It also comes preloaded with speed and red light cameras for the Australian map. Additional school zone alerts are available via free download (Australia only).
Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, nüvi 1260 integrates Bluetooth® wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the 1260 while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvis touchscreen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap the screen and speak into its built-in microphone. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialing for contacts and points of interest.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 1260 saves you fuel and money with ecoRoute - a green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. The 1260 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can download pictures from Garmin ConnectTM Photos and navigate to them. With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you'll always know your location. Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations. The 1260 features Garmin LockTM, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSDTM cards. It's also traffic compatible with the purchase of the GTM-25 traffic receiver (not included).
