Domestic travel is continuing to increase in popularity as more consumers look to enjoy time off on their own terms, which is being supported by products like the Garmin CamperVan. The GPS satellite navigation device is built with a 6.95-inch display that will offer access to a range of functions including places to stop along the way, campsites to visit and more. Designed for use in the UK and Europe, the GPS device will make planning and navigation easier than ever for those looking to enjoy domestic exploration.
Garmin Europe Senior product Manager for Consumer Automotive Thiemo Weinschenk spoke on the new Garmin CamperVan saying, "As the popularity of road trips in smaller vans continues to grow, Garmin set out to make a sat-nav that’s easy to control and rely on for every trip. CamperVan recommends attractions along the way and even shows travellers preloaded directories for campsites, and stop-overs – no need to plan a trip or second-guess a route. Just explore."
