Garmin has launched the NüviCam, a portable sat-nav, which includes a built-in dash cam and advanced alerts to enhance driver awareness on the road.
The NuviCam offers driver assistance technology such asForward Collision Warning, which alerts drivers if they’re driving too close to the car ahead; Lane Departure Warning, which alerts will appear and sound if the driver drifts off the road or into oncoming traffic; and Garmin Real Vision, which takes the guess work out of deciphering hard-to-see house numbers by displaying the camera view along with a bright arrow to direct drivers where to go when approaching destinations.
“The nüviCam goes beyond helping drivers get from Point A to Point B,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales.
“The intuitive driver-assist features not only lessen the stress of getting you to your destination, but the nüviCam also provides peace of mind in knowing that your commute is being recorded and can be referenced should you need it.”
The nüviCam comes preloaded with detailed maps of Europe and free lifetime map4 updates are included. The sat-nav also includes hands-free Bluetooth connectivity.

A product like this should be standard equipment in all vehicles from the bottom of the range up. Make it a "must-have", much like how ABS/ESp systems have become, and over time (ok it may take ten years or more) every vehicle will have a recording camera and accident claims can be settled quickly and efficiently with blame fairly apportioned. Such a standard piece of kit in every vehicle has the potential to reduce insurance premiums massively.
