The ultra-thin, widescreen Garmin nüvi 1690T is simple to use and pre-loaded with street-level mapping for Europe.
The 1690T is much more than just a sat nav. It’s an online social navigator that gives you real-time information on the go. From fuel prices to Google Local Search, you can find out what you want to know instantly thanks to Garmin nüLink! Services (includes 1 year free subscription).
The Garmin nüLink! services include traffic updates, advanced speed camera information, fuel prices, Google Local Search, telephone directory, Pan-European roaming, Ciao! Friend finder, weather forecast, flight status and currency exchange.
At just 19mm thick it’s ideal for use in and out of the car (public transport and pedestrian modes are available as an additional download). The menu is simple and intuitive – just touch the screen to look up addresses. The nüvi guides you to your destination with turn-by-turn spoken directions and 2-D or 3-D mapping.
You’ll be able to avoid last-minute panics and lane changes with the Lane Assist function. It will show you the correct lane to be in for upcoming junctions, giving you the best route awareness.
The nüvi 1690T also has a unique, pan-European speed camera warning system, giving real-time, reliable, and accurate alerts. And with the ecoRoute feature you can choose a fuel-efficient route which could save you money as well as fuel.
