It uses the same 5-inch, 480x272 resolution touchscreen as the costlier 1490T. Unlike that device, however, there is no Bluetooth support or live traffic updates and consequently brings it down to a budget level.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/16/garmin.outs.nuvi.1450.with.5.inch.touchscreen/ Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/03/new.nvi.gets.online.search.social.networking/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/garminnuvi1690intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin on Thursday said it would soon begin shipping its latest portable navigator, the nüvi 1690. The device has a built-in wireless module that connects to Garmin's nüLink service which allows users to access Google local search as well as traffic, weather, fuel prices, movie listings, flight status and more information. They can also connect to Ciao!, Garmin's location-based social networking s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/03/new.nvi.gets.online.search.social.networking/ Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/17/garmin.nuvi.1690.at.fcc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/garminnuvi1690.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin's plans to enter connected GPS units in earnest have been uncovered thanks to an FCC user manual filing (PDF) for its first receiver under the title. First shown only in testing, the nuvi 1690 will have a built-in cellular modem and will use an in-house service known as nuinfo that would let users find information through Google Local Search and receive temperature updates for their curren... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/17/garmin.nuvi.1690.at.fcc/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/24/garmin.to.fix.nuvi.problem/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/garminnuvi775t.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Portable navigation device maker Garmin has recently publicly acknowledged the issue with its nuvi 7x5-series devices that causes them to shut down. Calling it a firmware error that causes some devices to perform an unprompted GPS software update and in some cases shut down, Garmin announced it is "working diligently on a solution." Users began reporting the shutdowns earlier this week, leading ma... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/24/garmin.to.fix.nuvi.problem/ Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/garmin.nuvi.1490t/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/garminnuvi1490t.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin today updated its nüvi GPS mapper line with a new, especially high-end model. The 1490T is one of the company's largest ever and has a 5-inch touchscreen that provides both more information about the road as well as a more comfortable view; with the extra display size, the back is also about a quarter thinner than most of Garmin's lineup. As a flagship, it also gets much of the better fea... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/garmin.nuvi.1490t/ Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/garmin.nuvi.1200.and.1300/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/garminnuvi1300.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin at CeBIT today broke new ground for itself with two new nuvi navigators. The nuvi 1200 and 1300 are the first devices from Garmin to explicitly support pedestrian GPS mapping in urban areas; adding a CityXplorer map pack provides not only walking directions across parks and other areas off-limits in road-only maps but will also plot routes based on buses, subways and other public transit. ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/garmin.nuvi.1200.and.1300/ Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/12/garmin.nuvifone.m20/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/garminasusnuvifonem20.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Mobile partnership Garmin-ASUS on Thursday staked its claim at Mobile World Congress with the nuvifone M20, the second phone in the fledgling GPS navigator phone line. Unlike the G60, the M20 is based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and uses a heavily customized interface to provide turn-by-turn voiced navigation like stand-alone nuvi GPS units. It also uses the positioning for social networking through C... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/12/garmin.nuvifone.m20/ Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/07/garmin.at.ces.2009/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/garminnuvi885t.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin chose Wednesday to reveal its full slate for CES and led off with a new top-end model for its nuvi GPS units. The 4.3-inch widescreen navigator updates the 880 with a lane assist mode that also includes a junction view: drivers are not only told which lane to use for the next change but also shown the layout to properly follow through the next exit or intersection. It further brings an up... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/07/garmin.at.ces.2009/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/27/garmin.nuvi.7x5.and.2x5/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/garminnuvi775t.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin today revamped both the high- and low-ends of its nuvi GPS mappers with new features as standard that were previously just options. Competing with similar updates from NAVIGON, upgrades to both the 7x5 and 2x5 series now have traffic receivers as standard that provide alerts to road congestion and accidents for the lifetime of the device. Customers no longer need to pay a yearly subscript... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/27/garmin.nuvi.7x5.and.2x5/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/22/garmin.nuvi.500/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/garminnuvi500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Garmin on Tuesday kicked off the launch of a new line of nuvi GPS units that are some of its first tailored to be used both for driving and for the outdoors. Both the US-only nuvi 500 and the North America-wide nuvi 550 have the same 3.5-inch design as many road-going nuvis and provide full street maps but also have a waterproofed touchscreen and topology maps for use either on hikes or on rivers... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/22/garmin.nuvi.500/ Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:40:00 GMT
