22. Garmin's New "Where Did I Park the Car?" Feature

Favorites
Figure 137: Favorites

Whenever the nüvi 885T is removed from the windshield mount, it automatically creates an entry in Favorites called "Last Position", and remembers the position of the GPS when it was separated from the mount. The "Last Position" entry can then be used to navigate back to the last location where the nüvi was removed from the mount.

For example, if you drive to a crowded parking lot, or park at the base of a trail and take the nüvi with you, you can use the "Last Position" entry in the Recently Found destinations to get back to your car. Depending where you parked, you could also put the nüvi into pedestrian or off-road mode.

To view the "Last Position" where the 885T was removed from the mount, tap Where to? >Favorites >Last Position

Note that the "Last Position" will only appear if the nüvi has been removed from the mount.

The games aren't going to make you put aside that Xbox 360 any time soon, but they are somewhat entertaining and could be handy for passing the time while waiting in a car.

Interceptor
