For anyone who wants to be a bit greener in the future, or cut costs, the ecoRoute™ feature can save fuel and money. It enables you to find the most fuel-efficient route, see the journey cost, download journey information into Excel for expense claims and it even gives you tips for efficient driving.

If you’re worried about your partner or children breaking down or getting lost, the ’Where Am I?’ feature is reassuring. It gives details about your position such as exact coordinates, directions to nearby hospitals and more.

For the man – or woman – who has everything, the nüvi 1690 is the answer. If you know someone who likes instant access to information whenever or wherever they are, this is the gift for them.

With nüLink!™ services you get real-time information on the go. From fuel prices and up-to-the-minute flight arrival and departure times, to Google™ Local search and weather reports, it’s all here. It is even possible to locate friends and navigate to them – without the need to write down addresses or take directions with the Ciao!™ Friend Finder feature.  Your friends can also keep in touch via the internet – making it really easy for them to find you and meet up, wherever you are.

The nüvi 1690 has free roaming throughout Europe* so is ideal if you’re buying a gift for someone who loves to travel or who may be away this Christmas.

The suggested retail price for the nüvi 1690 is £349.99. Visit garmin.co.uk/1690 for more information
