The Cost of Being Lost<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of us around the globe at one time or another felt that uneasy feeling of not knowing exactly where we are or how to get to where we need to be.\u00a0 This uneasy feeling has a name, that is hard for many of us to vocalise.\u00a0 It’s called lost<\/strong>, and in reality it can cost us more than just our pride.\u00a0 There’s time, fuel, energy, stress, relationships and even the environment to consider too.\u00a0 Just imagine if everyone drove exactly where they needed to be using an optimised route, without unplanned detours, how much fuel could we collectively save?\u00a0 It’s an exciting thought.<\/p>\n

Raving about Saving<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are just some of the reasons why we are thrilled to introduce our range of Garmin N\u00fcvi Satellite Navigation systems<\/a>, all equipped with ecoRoute, fuel saving software on board.\u00a0 It’s not just fuel you could save using one of these, but all the things that seem to disappear when you’re lost; energy, calmness, relationships, the environment…<\/p>\n

Around the office, we’ve come up with our top five ways you can save<\/strong> with our Garmin N\u00fcvi Sat Nav range, we think you’ll agree it’s well worth a read.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Save Opportunities
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that sometimes being lost can create wonderfully positive opportunities \u2013 you could \u201caccidentally\u201d bump into your future soulmate when asking for directions, stumble across an incredible countryside view or even have the excuse for delving into the box of chocolates you\u2019re intending to deliver…<\/p>\n

The Garmin Nuvi 1210<\/p><\/div>\n

However, it\u2019s mostly true that when we\u2019re in our car, we are intending to get to SOMEWHERE by a certain time.\u00a0 Not knowing the way is usually an inconvenience.\u00a0 Getting lost can mean we miss special events, eat cold dinners and often disappoint friends and family as well as ourselves.\u00a0 Both the Garmin N\u00fcvi 1210<\/a> and 1490T<\/a> have pre-installed full UK maps, the 1490T has preloaded maps for Europe too, so it\u2019ll always know where you are and how to get you to your destination.\u00a0 Just think about all the events you could have arrived at on time; the weddings, the school plays, or all the meals you could have eaten hot?<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Save your Pennies
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

When driving from one place to the other, most of us choose the fastest route.\u00a0 Sometimes, this means we have to drive more miles to get to our destination.\u00a0 Being lost often means we drive more miles too.<\/p>\n

More miles = more fuel = more pennies.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Driving this way can be expensive.\u00a0 The N\u00fcvi 1210<\/a> and 1490T<\/a> can track your fuel usage and how many miles you\u2019ve clocked from journey to journey.\u00a0 It also has the ability to rate the efficiency of your driving, scoring you out of 100 on acceleration and overall efficiency.\u00a0 Do you know how much being lost or speeding down a motorway an extra five miles has cost you over the years?\u00a0 It’s probably more than you thought.\u00a0 We’ve developed a tool to help you figure out for yourself \u2013 <\/strong>our Cost of Lost Calculator.<\/strong><\/p>\n
