Two bits of news have come out of the Garmin camp today—the first of which involves Samsung phones getting their own navigation software based on the Garmin Mobile(TM) XT platform. The software will be available on smartphones like the i780 in Europe and elsewhere starting sometime in the next few months. Futhermore, Garmin Mobile users will be treated to upgrades including a new Nuvi-like interface and the addition of Google Local search starting in July. Press releases are available after the break.

nuvifone: Garmin Drops a Phone into the GPS

Today in a surprise announcement in New York City, Garmin whipped out the nuvifone, a full-fledged GSM HSDPA smartphone built on its own operating system with GPS navigation at its core—but e-mail and web browsing close to its heart, and a camera built in too. No pricing or carrier announcement has been made yet, though its likeliest compatible network is AT&T given the technology. (When T-Mobile launches HSDPA, it too will be suitable, and possibly more attractive than AT&T.) More »

Hands-On Video With Garmin's Voice-Recognizing 880 GPS Unit


We got a hands-on ride with Garmin's voice recognizing 880 GPS unit last night and were impressed with just how good the voice recognition really was. Not only could it hear us over the Vegas traffic and the radio, it even parsed out when we said "sixteen hundred" instead of "one six zero zero". Check out what we mean in the video above.

Garmin Juices Up nuvi Line With New Voice Control on 880, Fatter Screen for 260w

What's What: Updates all along the nuvi line. The top-of-the-line 880's big gun is new speech recognition with a steering wheel-mounted push-to-walk remote, and burnt coffee lovers can bark out commands like "find nearest Starbucks." The Catch:Voice controlled GPS means you gotta turn the radio down to command, no? More »

Garmin nuvi 5000 Has Hummer-Sized Screen

The SkinnyThe nuvi 5000 is a truck-sized navigator, for well, trucks and SUVs on the higher end of the nuvi line. It has a 5.2-inch touchscreen, stores 10 routes, has a digital elevation map and an MSN Direct option for traffic, gas and weather. Media-wise it'll display analog video from a backup cam or something, and has an SD card-loaded MP3 player. It's out next month for 800 smackers. The Catch: Didn't the nuvi line start out as a pocketable car and walking navigator? More »

Garmin Rolls Out Nuvi 700 Series Including Nuvi 750, 760 and 770 in US

Garmin made a press announcement confirming its Nuvi 700 for the European market, while quietly posting pages about the Nuvi 750, 760 and 770 to its US site with pricing. The premium devices feature 4.3" widescreen displays and will range from $642 to $1071, with FM transmitters and Nuvi travel kits. The gunmetal gray 760 and 770 add Bluetooth and traffic alerts to the equation. The 770's coup de grace is a transatlantic map set, for major roaming.

Leaked Photo Looks Like Garmin Nuvi 700 GPS Navigator

With the big European consumer electronics tradeshow IFA just around the corner, the leaks are starting, and this spy photo of the Garmin Nuvi 700 pocket GPS navigator is one of the products about which we're hearing a rumbling or two. There's precious little information about it so far, but some wags are saying it's going to be similar to the lower-priced Nuvi 200 series. We're thinking it might be a higher-end model with more enticing features. More »

CES 2007: Garmin Nuvi 680 Links Up With MSN Direct

Seems like just yesterday we heard about the Garmin Nuvi 670, and now the company will reveal the Nuvi 680 GPS navigator at CES 2007. It keeps the 4.3-inch touchscreen of its predecessor but now adds the handy ability to receive dynamic content from MSN Direct, something the Nuvi 670 couldn't do yet (contrary to our earlier report).

Garmin Nuvi 670 GPS with MSNDirect for Weather, Traffic, Movie Times

Here's a leaked Garmin Nuvi GPS. Two things. The Nuvi's new widescreen format makes it harder to pocket, and the whole nuvi concept was pocketability. Secondly, this one pulls data from MSN Direct. You know the same tech that powers spot watches. Those things sucked, but this could work out nicely. It probably will cost a few bucks, like many of today's traffic solutions. but this one will be neato, including data for "geo-referenced information like traffic conditions, weather forecasts, fuel prices, and movie times." Could be decent competition to the new wave of smart GPS navigators like the Dash Express.–Brian Lam

Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS: Officially Announced at $1076.91

Quick update: Garmin woke up this morning and officially unveiled the Nuvi 660 GPS. We love our Garmins and this would be the perfect one, with its widescreen, slim form, traffic receiver, and ability to read street names, useful for when the turns come up thick and fast. Nothing to add to what we've covered except the wonky price of $1076.91.– Brian Lam More »

Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS: Widescreen With a FM Transmitter


What's the story with this leaked GPS? Well, I'll tell you. Garmin is trying to keep pace with TomTom's widescreen models by adding this 4.3-inch, 480 by 272 pixel touchscreen to their latest navigator. Their last generation of Nuvis had players had MP3 support, which sounded really shit coming out of the little speakers in back. This one has an FM transmitter to route the tunes through your stereo. FYI, I'm still not using a GPS as my music player, kthx. More »

Garmin Announces nüvi 360, 310

Garmin has announced a bushel of new products at this year's CeBIT, included updates to the nüvi line of "pocket-sized" GPS units. Both the nüvi 360 and the nüvi 310 now have built-in Bluetooth wireless, which allows hands-free mobile calling, among other phone-related tricks. That's handy if you're using the nüvi in a car-mount, but probably less so if you're carrying the lithium ion battery-powered units in your pocket. More »
