Published on January 8, 2008 By Draginol In CES 2008

Garmin had several new GPS devices to show off. For those who have been thinking of picking up geo caching or getting a GPS for their car but wanted to wait a little longer, you need wait no longer.

The 880 adds speech recognition for navigation on the road. It makes use of MSN Direct services for getting the latest data from the net.

Thanks to its use of MSN Direct, it gains features such as traffic conditions, fuel prices, weather reports, movie listings, local events, news, and plan entire trips from your home computer and then upload.

The only down side is that MSN Direct costs $49.95 a year (or a one-time charge of $129.95). Users do get 3 months to try it out to see if it's worth it.

Users who just want the speech recognition but don't care about MSN Direct can get he Nuvi 850.
