new Garmin Nuvi 1690 – connected?
Aug 2, 2009 gps navigation
We really wish we could show you a better picture of the new Garmin Nuvi 1690 that we came across while scrolling through FCC’s website. But this is going to have to do until Garmin makes this new GPS navigation system official.
Here is what we know so far. There’s currently no nuvi 1600 series. So we expect the new nuvi 1690 may have a new set of features different from the rest. However all the cryptic FCC docs do not reveal much. We can tell it will feature a bluetooth receiver – which is really not a big deal – and will come with a 1000mAh battery. Diving deeper into these docs revealed a few more important details though. The description of nuvi 1690 is “connected personal navigation device” and it clearly includes an EDGE/GPRS module:
GPRS/EDGE Radio Information
This device employs infrequent short duration data communications over GPRS and EDGE using Multislot Class 10 (2/8 timeslots), and does not support GSM voice.
