Get Turn-by-turn Directions

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.

Experience nüRoute Technology with trafficTrends and myTrends
Smart and good-looking, this uniquely personal navigator comes with advanced routing capabilities that include trafficTrends and myTrends. There's no subscription necessary, no added costs, your nüLink! 1695 just does it.
With trafficTrends, your nüLink! 1695 automatically learns daytime trends for traffic flow to improve your routes and better predict your estimated time of arrival based on time of day and day of week. With myTrends, when you save your regular destinations in your "Favorites," your nüLink! 1695 will, over time, begin to figure out where you're going even without your telling it! It provides time of arrival and relevant traffic information. So whether you're driving to and from work or a regularly scheduled weekly event, your nüLink! 1695 will help you get there on time.
Know the Lane Before It's Too Late
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 for most metro areas.
Select Fuel-efficient Routes
nüLink! 1695 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, the 1695 will determine if a more fuel efficient route exists based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route.
Route Planning
nüLink! 1695 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 1695's wide screen. In addition, nüLink! 1695 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.
Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, nüLink! 1695 integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the 1695 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 contacts and POIs.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. "Where Am I?" emergency locator finds the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersections. nüLink! 1695 helps you remember where you parked by automatically marking your position when you remove it from your car. It also includes travel tools, such as JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter and calculator. Photo navigation lets you download pictures from Garmin Connect Photos. The 1695 features Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with Garmin Garage where you can download free vehicles and voices. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD cards.

Lots of cool features, mediocre design and navigation
upd Mar 2011: Firmware update v2.6 released in Feb resolved issues with map scrolling and slow route calculation (so Garmin does listen to the customers). These improvements and the new price range makes it a much more reasonable purchase. Routing and estimated arrival time still remains an issue.
Most likely, Garmin silently disabled TrafficTrends feature with firmware update with firmware update in Feb. Traffic trends don't make any difference to routing, estimated arrival time or calculation time. This has been confirmed on GPS forums by some owners of 1695 and 3790. Garmin customer service rep did not think this is the case and I haven't pressed the issue further.
I lost the unit in March so this review might not reflect the most recent changes, let me know if this is the case.

Not even meh...
I'm quite dissapointed in this unit, as I expected more. First, I really don't care for the ads that pop up when stopped. I certainly didn't intend to buy an advertising kiosk for my dashboard.
Second, I am not fascinated with the routing and traffic functions. Many GPS's learn your route and estimate traffic on that route. This unit also will not route to the roads I take to work, even though it shows a shorter commute time once I turn to take the back way to work. My known route saves on average about 15 minutes, and the GPS tries to route me through a congested area each morning.
My unit also takes quite some time to recalculate a route when downtown - can get frustrating sometimes.
Another irritating issue is the inability to independently adjust volumes for bluetooth connected phones and alerts. The phone is way too quiet when alerts sound ok, and alerts blare when the phone sounds ok.
For the amount of money this unit costs, paired...
Much superior to the older 1690
I got this 1695 a couple of months ago, and I've found it vastly improved (but not yet perfect) over the 1690. I am very glad I upgraded.
To understand my reasons, I should first begin by saying that I'm an avid GPS user. Each of my two boats have GPS, I've taken piloting (i.e., inshore navigation) and offshore (i.e., celestial, as with a sextant) navigation courses, and even when driving on a vacation trip, I like to know exactly my position just for fun.
Garmin's old StreetPilots (I had them, too) used to allow a display of latitude and longitude on the map screen. When I upgraded to the NUVI's (1490 and 1690) this was no longer the case -- first of several big disappointments (and not fixed with the 1695) wtih the first NUVI, only some of which are corrected in the 1695.
I also missed the StreetPilots' display of the name of the upcoming street on top of the map screen (yes, you can see them on the map itself, but it's written too small to be useful). But happily...
