Garmin has announced that the Nuvi 1690 is now available in Canada, and gets network access for Garmin’s Nulink service from Rogers Communications. With it, the Nuvi 1690 provides direct links to online information, including Google local search, traffic, weather, movie times, flight status, white pages, and safety camera locations. Canadians can even get the same online features when they cross the border into the U.S.
The Canadian version of the Nuvi 1690 comes with maps for all of North America and is available immediately for $429.99 (Canadian). Buyers will get one year of Nuvilink service for free; after than, a subscription will cost $65.00 (Canadian) per year. U.S. roaming costs $9.99 (Canadian) per month, which is almost twice as much as the Canadian service.
