Sep 21, 2009 garmin, gps navigation

Remember the nuvi 1690 we’ve been talking about? It is a connected GPS navigation system from Garmin. “Connected?” you may ask…. In the case for nuvi 1690 connected means you’ll be able to get real time traffic updates, fuel pricing, movie times, flight status updates, and local search from Google.

Well AT&T just announced that they will be Garmin’s connection partner for the nuvi 1690. However AT&T must think all this data won’t take much bandwidth so the device will only be running on the EDGE frequency. The service is called nuLink and will be offered for free for the first two years. After that you’re expected to pay $5/month.

Garmin nuvi 1690 will go for $500 once it comes out.
