No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane 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
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, nüvi 1690 integrates Bluetooth® wireless technology with a built-in

the 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

Select Fuel-efficient Routes
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
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 1690's wide
screen. In addition, 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.
