Garmin Connect users can search for activities in their area and try the routes for themselves by uploading the data to Garmin devices, which will then guide the way. Garmin-Asus is announcing a new player however, in the smallish WinMo 6.1, M20 handheld that naturally runs Garmin’s mapping software which might make a larger splash at MWC than its big brother.
Garmin consistently does a better job with its mounting hardware than its competitors, and the nuvi 660 is no exception. Once the suction mount is locked into place (by lowering the lever on the mount), it sits securely in place.
Garmin needs to develop better more detailed maps. The unit works well in the boat and in the truck, battery life is better than I expected. Garmin Mobile PC may compel me to actually consider upgrading to a touch-screen setup. While this program uses several keyboard shortcuts making it fairly easy to use on a laptop PC, it must be even easier to just touch the big buttons right on the screen.
Garmin’s 700-series nuvis share an almost identical physical design to the recently-announced nuvi 200-series (nuvi 250, 250W). Unlike the entry level 200-series, however, the 760 is equipped with a much brighter LCD display, text-to-speech, Bluetooth, FM transmitter, and traffic. Garmin is pleased to announce the all-new motorcycle navigator - zumo 550. The Garmin zumo 550 is the first fully-featured, no-compromises GPS navigator designed exclusively for motorcyclists with glove-friendly, left-handed controls. Garmin GPS knows where you are going and how to get you there. With satellite technology, Garmin makes any excursion or expedition a pleasant experience.
Garmin’s documented way to set location in Demo mode, is to select a point and hit ‘go’ to navigate to it. You will then be prompted whether you want to move to this location. Garmin 465T Truck GPS is our first Garmin unit designed specifically for the over-the-road trucking industry. Featuring a preloaded NTTS Breakdown Directory, specialized routing options throughout the lower 48 states and truck friendly points of interest, this full-featured truck routing GPS was made for life on the road.
Garmin have developed their Forerunner series as training products for runners and fitness enthusiasts of all levels. These products are more than just sports running watches. Garmin labels map updates as “seasonal”. In plain English, that means around 3 to 4 updates per year. Garmin also apparently holds the same policy in regards to its FLASH EPROM firmware upgrades for the rest of its units. This means that if you wish to FLASH upgrade your Garmin handheld to a later software revision, you must use the Garmin PC program under emulation.
First shown only in testing, the nuvi 1690 will have a built-in cellular modem and will use an in-house service known as nuinfo that would let users find information through Google Local Search and receive temperature updates for their current area courtesy of the title bar. Garmin has announced a new low profile bike GPS that will be targeted at performance minded cyclists, with data galore, and no on screen mapping. The unit tracks speed, distance, time, GPS position, elevation, calories burned, climb and descent; the latter is facilitated by a barometric altimeter in the Edge 500. Garmin is getting into the cellphone business because the market for standalone GPS devices is feeling pressure from smartphones with GPS services. But by making the actual hardware, Garmin is making a big gamble.
Garmin has been rolling out a lot of software updates lately on their server side, I have found it easier to manually upload the data. Once uploaded you get a map of your workout, splits, averages, max values etc. Garmin has also improved the handlebar mount, making it sturdier and more secure than the current model, which zip ties to the stem or handlebar.
Garmin has announced throught their blog that about 20 new marine products that were announced last November are now available.
