Save Gas and Money

Now more than ever, we’re all looking for ways to conserve both money
and fuel. Whether we’re taking fewer trips or carpooling with family
and friends, saving resources is a top priority. It was that thinking
that led to the creation of ecoRoute – our free software update for
compatible nüvi products that allows users to select the most
fuel-efficient route and even track their fuel usage. With ecoRoute,
you’ll be able to save gas and money by adopting smarter driving
habits while also helping to reduce our impact on the environment.

Select Fuel-efficient Routes

With ecoRoute, users will have a “less fuel” option as a routing
preference. When selected, nüvi will determine the best route for
saving gas.

Get Fuel and Mileage Reports

Through ecoRoute’s Fuel Report and Mileage Report, drivers can focus
on their habits even when they’re not behind the wheel. Fuel Report
tracks fuel usage over time, and Mileage Report monitors mileage and
fuel usage on a per-trip basis. You can also customize your nüvi by
entering vehicle type, your car’s fuel economy and the current price
of gas.
