EDIT - 12/15/09: Upon further use of the unit and it’s nuLink traffic feature, I’ve run into numerous occasions where the traffic data simply wasn’t too accurate. There were times that I’d be driving and the garmin 1690 would indicate that I was in yellow level traffic, however, there really wasn’t any traffic on the road at the time. There were other instances of where there’d be highway road construction going on with bumper to bumper traffic, but the nuvi didn’t acknowlegde any traffic existed. With that said, overall there have been more times than not that the 1690 has nailed the traffic data and has been accurate, but it’s been more like a 70-30 ratio which is just ok in my opinion. While I still believe the nuvi 1690 has the most accurate traffic compared to other nuvi models (explained in my review), it still leaves alot to be desired at times. I’ve come to the conclusion that the radio is simply the best source for the most up to the minute traffic info.
—————————————————————————————————
I purchase alot of navigation devices, so I was excited about the garmin 1690 as there was much hype with this unit. The nuvi 1690 is Garmin’s current top of the line model. It features the new Garmin nuLink service which includes things like traffic, weather, gas prices, movie times, etc. It’s really good if you like that kind of stuff. It’s basically a much better version of MSN Direct if you’ve ever used that service.
I have a nuvi 1490t and 765t as well, so I’m going to make comparisons of the units. First thing I must say is that this unit acquires a satelite signal FAST (provided you used the unit within the past couple of days prior). I’m talking less than 10 seconds fast. I remember with my old nuvi 350 I used to have to sit in my car and wait a few minutes for the unit to get a signal, not with this 1690. The same can be said with the 1490t as far as fast satelite acquisition. With the garmin 1690 however, I can actually get a signal inside of my house without standing directly by the window, which is the first device that can do that in my experiences. I would imagine it’s good in a city with tall buildings like NYC with this kind of signal strength though I haven’t tested there. As far as navigation, it navigates as well as any other Garmin device so no changes there. Directions are very accurate and re-route calculations if you miss a turn are quick. Text-to-speech is excellent as well and is very accurate and clear with pronunciation of street names. Something Garmin has done with the newer software in all of their new units is increased the size of the text in the green bar when you’re navigating. This is great because the text in that green bar used to be too small to make out sometimes while you were driving. The size and thickness of the font of the arrival time (which can be changed to another category) and speed indicator (which can’t be changed to another category) have also been increased. The speed indicator font now turns red whenever you go above the speed limit. I’ve noticed that the little speed limit signs are also now on practically all roads and not just highways. They are also pretty accurate and update as soon as I pass the real speed limit sign at times. Another thing to note with garmin nuvi 1690 is you now have an option to change the screen layout. You can have it where the map screen itself is smaller and a list of four categories (three choosable, can’t change speed indicator) are to the right of the approximately 3.5″ sized map screen (ie. Arrival Time, Direction, Distance to Destination, etc.) You can now also flick your finger on the screen like an iphone to navigate the menus instead of pressing the up/down arrow which is neat. Some have complained about the responsiveness of the keyboard, however, I feel it’s the same as all the previous nuvi models I’ve owned. When I press a key it gets immediately entered though there have been a couple rare times it has taken a second to register. Nothing serious though, it’s very useable. Also, the map screen redraw rate during a route is fast, so the car on the screen moves along nice and smooth like both the 765t and 1490t (and unlike the nuvi 350, 660, etc. which hops along instead of glides).
The screen on the 1690 in terms of quality is exactly like the screen on the 765t. This is a bit of a disappointment for me because the screen on the 1490t is far superior to every other nuvi model. The 1490t’s screen is of course larger (5″ instead of 4.3″ like on the 1690). The 1490t’s screen is a much better screen because not only are colors more vivid, but viewing angles are MUCH better. I was hoping the 1690 would have the same screen, but in a 4.3″ version. Not the case. I uploaded a couple of screen shots of a 1490t and 1690 side-by-side so you can see the comparison in screen size.
The speaker in garmin 1690 gps is the same as the one in the 1490t which is a big plus because that speaker is LOUD. Continue reading
