HIGHWAY MAN
I had a hard time deciding to buy this unit with some of the reviews.I went ahead an purchased one three weeks ago.I love this thing Garmin must have fixed the bugs this unit works great love the Google search,white pages etc.Have not had any problem with and I have played with it a lot.At first I didn't like the pop up Ads.as soon as you are moving they go away,If it helps keep the cost down I don't mind.So far 2300 Miles with it.GPS City was very helpful when I called with questions before I purchased.Keep up the good work
Pros: google,bluetooth,
Cons: could do a better job updating maps
Recommend: YES

NUVI 1690
Just took my first long trip with the 1690. I keep finding more features that make it a real plus on any drive, regardless of long haul trips or just around town. This is a very nice unit.
Pros: lots of features, easy to use.
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

GARMIN NUVI 1690
Nice features, screen redesign great with speed, direction, directions and colour coded rodes. Trouble is 99% of those nuvi features (airplane, google sites, traffic, etc) are not available in Canada. Maybe Toronto. So save the dollars and get a non-nuvi featured item if living outside a major american city
Pros: screen layout
Cons: not useful in canada
Recommend: NO

GARMIN GOOGLE SEARCH HITS THE SPOT
Typical Garmin unit. Excellent GPS, very accurate, seems faster than previous units that I have used. The screen specs are the same as 885t, however the viewing angle is not as good (unit needs to be at or close to eye level for best clarity). Also, have experienced some screen flickering while it is accessing data (ie weather info). Seems ok most of the time. I exchanged my original unit because of flickering, new one does the same thing. Look for firmware update from Garmin.
Pros: google search, unlimited uptodate poi's
Cons: screen flickering, viewing angle
Recommend: YES
