Garmin Nuvi 1690 Manual Shows Off at the FCC

Garmin is tackling the connected GPS units with its latest Nuvi 1690. But we already knew that. What we didn’t know was that the guys have just forwarded the Garmin Nuvi 1690 manual to the FCC and the folks over at GPStracklog laid their eyes on the contents, and you too can check out the FCC website for more info (note: pdf file).
Meant as a high-end GPS unit, the new Garmin Nuvi 1690 will be powered by a built-in cellular modem, features lane assist, junction view, live traffic updates and temperature details. Along the same lines, the new device will use an in-house service — the “nuinfo service”, that allows users to find their information by using Google Local Search. It also adds Bluetooth connectivity (in case you were after hands-free calling).
We’re not sure if these “connected services” will be free to use, but if Garmin fails at this point we’re considering smartphone apps to get the job done.
