Can I switch from Automobile mode to Pedestrian + 2 more questions
If I am in a new city and want to walk over to a place, rather than drive, does this GPS model provide walking directions?
Also, is this model portable?
Can I mount this model on my Car Windshield instead of the Dashboard?
The Nuvi is designed and set up for driving directions, but should work okay for short walks because it shows a graphic of a street map and your route (a magenta colored line ahead of your current location). It's really easy to input a destination address. However its fully charged battery lasts for only about an hour and a half. For hiking, the better GPS unit might be the Garmin E-Trex 20 or 30, but they don't show roads and streets with as much accuracy or detail, in my experience.
The Nuvi comes with a ball & socket mount with suction cup that will stick to glass.
