Garmin have in recent times revealed a brand new navigation unit to the catalog, this new unit is called the nuvi 1450 GPS and is aimed towards the higher- end of the market. The Garmin nuvi 1450 offers a massive 5 inch touchscreen screen which facilitates a resolution of 480×272, it also sports a white backlight, the battery is said to continue performing approximately three hours. Other features worth bringing up consist of lane assistance technology, and the ability to save up to 10 pre- planned journeys, another highlight is an ecoRoute feature which permits you to view the most economical path to your desired destination. The nuvi 1450 is currently available direct from Garmin.

If the above is not suitable enough for you, you will want to take into account the Garmin nuvi 1490T is one of numerous new Garmin versions hitting store shelves this summer. The 1490T differs from the others in that it presents a 5” wide screen and multi- destination routing, offers not found on any of the nuvi 12xx or 13xx versions.

Other features consist of text- to- speech, NAVTEQ lifetime traffic, Bluetooth for hands- free cell phone use, lane assist with junction view, speed limit and trip log display, and it is compatible with the pedestrian navigation features found in Garmin’s new CityXp

lorer maps.

Otherwise, the Garmin nüvi 1690 is a 4. 3- inch GPS with an array of extras, as well as an EDGE wireless data radio for nüLink, Garmin’s brand new, Google- powered service. nüLink provides real- time traffic, Google Local Search, weather, movies, local events, and much more. Sad to say, somewhere along the way, Garmin’s marketing department got the upper hand. While the nüvi 1690 is an exceptional navigator, it’s overpriced at$ 499, doesn’t involve updates, only includes a two- year subscription for data services, and the unit displays ads.

The Garmin nüvi 1690 measures 3. 1 by 4. 9 by. 8 inches(HWD) and weighs 6. 2 ounces. The nüvi 1690′s front frame is glossy black plastic, while the back panel is matte black and rubberized. The top consists of a recessed power switch, while the left side offers a microSD card slot for loading new data or photos. The mount includes a docking connector along with a port for the power cord, which makes it easy to remove the unit out of the car.
