Garmin International revealed on Thursday a new portable navigation device that is able to do lots of tricks. Called Garmin nuvi 880, the new navigation device features speech recognition capabilities, dynamic MSN Direct content, Bluetooth wireless technology and others.

However, the most notable special trick that Garmin nuvi 880 provides users with is the speech recognition feature. Users will have to simply say “find nearest restaurant”, if they are hungry, and they will be offered a list of nearby restaurants. nuvi 880 also “knows” the names of the most important business brands, such as Starbucks, for example.

According to its maker, Garmin nuvi 880 works straight out of the box, without previous “training” to recognize voice commands being needed. "Now it's possible to keep both hands on the wheel, tell Nuvi what to do and where to go, and you're on your way to stress-free travel," said Dan Bartel, the company’s worldwide vice president of sales.

Garmin International’s GPS device is the first one in the world featuring speech recognition capabilities and it retails for no less than $1,000.

Garmin nuvi 880 was announced in conjunction with this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where it will be displayed along with Garmin International’s 10 other brand new products.
