Garmin Nuvi 670/680
Update: The Garmin Nuvi 670 and Nuvi 680 have been Officially Announced. Check out the announcement for the Nuvi 680 - MSN connected GPS or the Nuvi 670 which comes pre-loaded with North American and European Maps.
UPDATE: I have posted my Review of the Nuvi 680
Well, well… if you wanted a nice rumor wrapped up in time for the holidays, here you go. Engadget is reporting about the Garmin Nuvi 670/680 that will add on Microsoft’s MSN Direct/SPOT network capabilities. This will sit atop the already excellent Nuvi 660 chassis - see my review of the Nuvi 660. The SPOT network broadcasts over an FM band and gives you weather, sports and stock updates for a subscription price. Expect an announcement at CES in January. I would imagine that the release date for the Nuvi 670 would be sometime in the first quarter of 2007, or soon thereafter, like in April.
Interesting add-on…. Hummm, connected GPS units, I like it keep it coming. Don't forget about the new Dash Espress receiver with two way cellular/WiFi connectivity built in that is coming in the new year.
