The Garmin nuvi 1200 is a slim GPS unit featuring a 3.5-inch touchscreen and pre-loaded City Navigator street maps for the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico with points of interest and an option for both 2D and 3D views. You can access voice-prompt, turn-by-turn directions, use digital elevation maps to get a better idea of the terrain, and upload your own points of interest to create custom maps and destinations. The nuvi 1200 series comes with the eco-route function, which plots the most fuel-efficient courses and shows how much gas you have saved by taking them, and support for Garmin Garage and Garmin Connect Photos for downloading custom voices, icons, and photo navigation.

You can also buy CityXplorer content, which gives you detailed maps of specific cities and their public transportation system. The 1200 series starts at $199.99, but if you prefer a larger touchscreen with more features can explore the 1300 series as well.
