Garmin’s connected nuvi 1690 now shipping for $500

Guess what, kiddos? Garmin’s minty fresh connected PND is now shipping, and if you plan on getting your home address on one of those labels, you best break out the checkbook. The nüvi 1690 is now moving out from Amazon’s warehouses, and just as promised, it’s going for a penny under $500. Is real-time access to Google search, white page listings, real-time traffic and flight status updates on your GPS unit really worth all that cheddar? Maybe — but just wait until those two years of free service expire. Good times.
