If you're a fan of the Garmin navigation experience, the added NuLink connected services will only enhance the experience. As a first version of new technology for Garmin, the Garmin Nuvi 1690 represents a very good effort.

Garmin's nuvi 1690 is Australia's first online GPS. The nuLink service adds to what already was an excellent overall navigational experience. If you're in the market for a top-end GPS with all the latest features, this is a must-have.

The highlight of the 1690 is real-time 'nuLink' services, some are incredibly useful like: Traffic, Google Local Search, weather and fuel prices

We’ve waited a long time for another manufacturer to put up some competition for TomTom’s LIVE, and finally Garmin has met the challenge and even upped the ante somewhat. It’s a shame that the traffic provision is not as powerful as TomTom’s HD Traffic, but otherwise the nuvi 1690 meets every TomTom LIVE feature with aplomb, and adds a few very useful extras on the top. Garmin also undercuts TomTom considerably on price. The subscription costs are still not exactly cheap, but you won’t have to pay them for a year. So if you can make do with Trafficmaster-based traffic, the Garmin nuvi 1690 is better value. Over to you, TomTom.
