assist with junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn
or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate. It
realistically displays road signs and junctions on your route along with arrows
that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
Get Turn-by-turn Directions
Garmin nüvi 1690's intuitive interface greets you with 2 simple options:
"Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses
and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street
names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator NT
street maps, nearly 6 million POIs, 2-D or 3-D maps and speed limits for most
major roads. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom
levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. And with HotFix
satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there
quicker.
Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, Garmin nüvi 1690 integrates Bluetooth wireless
technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your
compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the Garmin 1690 while
staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad
to make a call. To answer calls, just tap the screen and speak. Enjoy convenient
1-touch dialing for contacts and POIs.
Select Fuel-efficient Routes
Garmin nüvi 1690 saves you gas and money with ecoRoute — a green feature that
calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. With
ecoRoute, you have a “less fuel” option as a routing preference. When selected,
nüvi will determine if a more fuel efficient route exists based upon road speed
data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route.
Route Planning
Garmin nüvi 1690 includes advanced navigation features to take the worry out
of traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via points and
preview simulated turns on the Garmin 1690's wide screen. In addition, Garmin
nüvi 1690 automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an efficient
route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. It also displays speed limits for
highways and Interstates. A trip log provides an electronic breadcrumb trail of
up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.

intersections. nüvi 1690 helps you remember where you parked by automatically
