Includes Pan European Premium Traffic

The widescreen Garmin nuvi 1340T redefines portable, affordable navigation. This ultra-thin GPS has preloaded maps of Europe, announces streets by name, guides you to the proper lane for navigation and calculates a more fuel-efficient route with ecoRoute™.

Slim Down. Take It With You

Twenty-five percent slimmer than other nüvis, the 1200 and 1300-series are ideal traveling companions. Garmin nuvi 1340T easily fits in your pocket or purse, and its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. Take advantage of the 1340T's new Public Transit mode by downloading optional CityXplorer™ content (coming soon) for select cities to navigate via subways, trams, buses and more.

Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late

No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane assist guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate.

With Garmin nuvi 1340T's widescreen display, you'll always get the big picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read — from any direction.

Get Turn-by-Turn Directions

nuvi 1340T's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color 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® NT street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most major roads. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. With the 1340T'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 HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Go Beyond Navigation

 Smart traffic avoidance with Garmin Traffic Alerts

Arrive at your destination on time, fresh and stress-free with Garmin’s smart traffic avoidance.

Selected Garmin sat-navs come with our distinctive, streaming traffic service, which uses live traffic data from cameras located every two miles along every major route to help you avoid the tailbacks.

Benefits

Our live traffic camera network comprises:

• 3500 fixed infrared sensors mounted on motorway over-bridges
• 4500 passive target flow measurement 'blue pole' cameras, installed at the roadside on trunk roads
• All congestion charging zone cameras in London
• Coverage of over 8,000 miles of motorway and trunk roads in England, Scotland and Wales

How does it work?

The Garmin traffic service uses a combination of cameras and authenticated feeds from reliable sources such as the highways agency, police control centres and urban traffic control centres to provide up to date and accurate information on traffic congestion.   Traffic information is then broadcast over a national network of FM radio stations, ensuring excellent reception of real-time data direct to your Garmin sat nav.

As the weight of traffic increases year on year, and more and more time is spent in the car travelling to and from work, to the shops or on holiday, Garmin’s traffic service works to ensure your journey times are kept to a minimum. Using the most comprehensive, accurate and dynamic traffic monitoring network in the UK, Garmin’s traffic-enabled personal navigation devices come with free a subscription for the lifetime of the product, while compatible products can be upgraded with our optional traffic accessory.

Key features

• Live traffic information across Europe using the most accurate and up-to-date streaming traffic sources
• Real-time updates highlight traffic jams, accidents and road works on your planned route
• Detailed incident reporting with roads affected, estimated delay times, suggested alternative routes and automatic re-routing
• Coverage currently includes UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, France, Germany and Switzerland
