We’ve been talking about nuvi 1690 for a while now so it’s worth mentioning that Garmin made that GPS navigation system available in Canada.

Of course the biggest feature of nuvi 1690 is its World Wide Web connectivity – known as Garmin nuLink! – that offers Google local search, traffic, weather, movie updates, flight status, and more. Garmin is going with Rogers Communications for its connectivity.

Some other features of nuvi 1690 include maps of North America, bluetooth wireless, ecoRoute feature that supposedly selects fuel saving routes, lane

assistance, and more.

nuvi 1690 will cost 430 CAD and you’ll get one year free nuLink! service. After that you can subscribe for 65 CAD for additional years, and whether you plan to cross the border into U.S. you should pay for the 10 CAD/month roaming fee.
