The editors liked

  • Google search and other Internet services
  • Two years of Internet services included
  • Easy to use
  • Accurate directions. Slick software design. Google-powered services are a boon. Solid traffic reporting. Useful elevation readings.

  • The Garmin Nuvi 1690 features free (and ad-supported) access to Garmin's nuLink data service
  • Which provides traffic data

  • Lots of connected services

The editors didn't like

  • Some owners complain of routing problems
  • Traffic
  • Lane assist only in certain cities
  • Popup ads
  • Bundled data subscription expires after two years. Displays ads. Still requires extra-cost map updates like any other GPS. Connected services not integrated with main POI database. On-board EDGE radio caused GSM buzz in our car stereo.
  • POI and Google Search could be better integrated
  • Pop-up ads on POI searches can be annoying
  • The move to microSD media renders all old Garmin SD cards obsolete. Touch screen exhibits weird flickering when the data connection is being accessed.
  • Pop-up ads on POI searches can be annoying.

  • Simple d'utilisation, Navigation claire et efficace, Service connectés simples et utiles, Large écran mat et bonne finition, Mode mains-libres Bluetooth
  • Saisie prédictive des adresses peu pratique, Services nüLink: payants alors que certains sont quasi indispensables, Pas d'émetteur FM, Trop peu de paramètres pour les options de trajet
  • Avec les services connectés nüLink!, Garmin propose de nouvelles fonctionnalités intéressantes pour se mettre à la page, bien qu'elles soient parfois moins abouties que chez la concurrence (TomTom). L'utilisation reste toujours aussi simple. Dommage qu...

  • NOCH NICHT ÜBERZEUGENDDer Komfortgewinn, den mir die Nülink-Dienste bescheren, wäre mir noch keine 6,50 Euro im Monat wert – zumal ich die meisten Informationen ja, wenn ich sie doch mal benötige, via Handy im Netz abrufen kann...

  • Abstract:  Garmins GPS är ännu bättre än vanligt och imponerar med smidigast och rikligast onlinetjänster. Garmins navigatorer har alltid varit pålitliga arbetshästar men sällan speciellt spännande. Det är därför en glad överraskning att man lyckats så bra me...
