The Garmin nüvifone touchscreen device combines a phone, Web browser and personal navigator. Navigation offers turn-by-turn directions and calculates a new route if users miss a turn. Functions include e-mail, text and instant messaging. Nüvifone's camera takes photos and automatically tags the images' latitude and longitude. Users can later navigate back to an image's location. The device includes a video camera, MP3 and MPEG4/AAC.
