OLATHE, Kan., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin(R) Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN) , today announced that Hyundai Motor America will begin offering the award-winning nuvi(TM) 360 personal navigation device at its 725 dealerships across the United States.
"We're very pleased to offer the state-of-the-art nuvi to Hyundai customers," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing. "This arrangement gives Hyundai customers a great opportunity to easily purchase a navigation device at the same time they're purchasing a new vehicle -- and they can be assured that they're getting one of the most cutting-edge navigators available anywhere today."

Known as the Personal Travel Assistant(TM), Garmin's nuvi 360 incorporates easy-to-use GPS navigation, Bluetooth wireless technology, an MP3 player, audio book player, language translator and travel guide capability, currency converter, world travel clock, and much more.

Nuvi provides a bright touchscreen display with three-dimensional automatic routing with turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions that speak street names -- making it easy to find your way anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. The Hyundai-branded nuvi also features a custom splash screen and database of Hyundai dealerships and service centers across the nation.

Nuvi's Bluetooth feature, coupled with an integrated microphone and speaker, lets users dial phone numbers through the device's touchscreen keypad (for supported phones). Users may look up and dial numbers from their personalized phone book or from the phone's call history log that shows calls received, calls dialed and calls missed. The nuvi can also dial numbers from its points of interest database -- locations like hotels, restaurants, and attractions.

The portable unit easily mounts to any Hyundai vehicle, and can be used for pedestrian navigation as well. For added security, nuvi features Garmin Lock(TM), a theft deterrent that disables the unit until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location code.

Available beginning this month, Hyundai dealerships will display point-of- purchase displays and collateral materials that highlight nuvi's many features. For more information, go to http://www.garmin.com/ or visit your local Hyundai dealer.
