Manufacturer's Description

Enjoy the convenience of live online services on the go with the dynamic nüLink! 1695 sat nav. From fuel prices to Google™ Local Search, you’ve got the very latest picture of the road ahead with Garmin nüLink!™ live travel information. This location-relevant content updates as you drive to stay informed of changing conditions both on the route and at your destination.

1695 also includes preloaded maps for the whole of Europe, lane assist with PhotoReal™ junction view, premium traffic, Bluetooth hands-free calling and ecoRoute™ fuel-saver software. Plus it has nüRoute™ technology with trafficTrends™ historic traffic and myTrends™ predictive routing to make your daily driving even easier.

Garmin nüLink! services deliver accurate real-time online information wirelessly to the sat nav. Your GPS position helps define live content that stays relevant to your changing location. Sourced from a variety of expert providers, this data is sent to the sat nav to deliver updates during the journey.

The first year's nüLink! services come included with the purchase, including Google™ Local Search to find location-relevant points of interest (POIs) near your current location and Hot Traffic live alerts for updates on delays and road construction on your route before automatically guiding you around the problems in the shortest time. Need fuel? Find the latest forecourt prices near your location arranged in order of proximity so you don’t need to settle for the first petrol station you see. Other convenient services included in the subscription: dynamic parking space availability and prices, Ciao!™ friend finder, weather radar (30day trial included), live speed cameras (30day trial included), flight status, Send to GPS, currency converter, White Pages (30day trial included), nüLink! content store and myGarmin™.

It's easy to see where you're going on nüLink! 1695's super-wide 5-inch (12.7 cm) touchscreen display. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant colour. With its big, bold display, you won't miss a thing, while the larger on-screen buttons make this sat nav even easier to operate.

Touch the colour screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. 1695 comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps for Europe, over a million POIs, 2D or 3D maps and speed limits for most major roads. Digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels to give you a clear and detailed picture of the surrounding terrain. And with HotFix® satellite prediction, nüLink! calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Smart and good-looking, this uniquely personal navigator comes with advanced routing capabilities. With trafficTrends, nüLink! 1695 automatically learns daytime trends for traffic flow from other drivers 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 the sat nav’s “Favourites” folder, nüLink! 1695 will, over time, be able to calculate where you’re going together with time of arrival and relevant traffic information. So whether you’re driving to and from work or a regularly scheduled weekly event, nüLink! 1695 will help you get there on time completely unprompted.

No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane assist with PhotoReal™ junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar junctions and exits easy to navigate. It displays realistic road signs and junctions on your route along with arrows indicating the proper lane for navigation with stunningly accurate landscape detail for exceptional clarity.

nüLink! 1695 saves you fuel and money with ecoRoute™; a green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. With ecoRoute™, you can select to follow the “less fuel” option as a routing preference. 1695 will then determine if a more fuel efficient route exists based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route.

nüLink! 1695 is packed with advanced navigation features to take the worry out of travelling. You can save ten routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on 1695's five-inch super-wide screen. In addition, nüLink! 1695 automatically sorts multiple destinations into the most logical and efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. It also displays speed limits for most major routes. 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.

For hands-free calling, nüLink! 1695 integrates Bluetooth® wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through 1695 while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad to make a call and to answer, just tap the screen and speak. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialling for all your contacts and POIs.

Navigation is just the beginning. The "Where Am I?" emergency locator finds the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations and shows your exact position with nearest address and junction. Park Position Recall helps you remember where you park by automatically marking your position when removed it from your car. Photo navigation helps you navigate straight to the scene in a location-tagged photograph – ideal if you don’t have the address or you’re searching for a landmark, viewpoint or attraction or retracing a road trip. nüLink 1695’s Garmin Lock™ GPS anti-theft feature locks the sat nav to a geographic location of your choice. Simply return to the destination or use your PIN code to unlock. It also features useful travel tools, such as JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter and calculator.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sat Nav, 7 Jun 2011
    By 
    Sonny "SH" (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Garmin nüLink! 1695 5-inch Sat Nav with Live Services, Live Traffic, Full European Mapping and Bluetooth (Electronics)
    I had expected this satnav to deliver all I had expected and it did.

    It was very accurate when I used it to navigate from my home in Wiltshire, through France and Belgium to a destination in Germany. The traffic reports were very accurate and it truly saved the day when we entered a massive traffic jam on the Ring Road just north of Brussels. Immediately, the traffic indicator turned to red and the display provided me with alternative routes to avoid the jam caused by an overturned butcher's lorry! Well done!

    The screen refreshes very rapidly thus avoiding any delays in latest display and the navigation through the menu is relatively simple.

    However, there are some things that I must mention and which really do require attention:

    1. Indicating where you have been and travelling to is fine but details of the route name/number one is on is not indicated unless the screen display is changed in which case the movement indicator stops at the point where the car moves out of the screen. Similarly, it would be nice to have essential services, e.g., petrol stations, car main dealers offering repairs, A&E, etc indicated on the map simultaneously as one drives along.
    2. The pronunciation of many place and street names can be very bad and in Germany I actually found it misleading. Typically, "Ruislip" in west London is pronounced as "Rooosleep" while the German "Hauptstrasse" is pronounced as "Hepstress". In the case of the foreign names, it is probably better to ignore the voice and look at the screen where the name is actually spelt out or else you wil be left pondering while the car moves along! Dangerous!
    3. I would like to hear a louder gong signal when approcahing a speed camera: it is very feint.

    Overll though, I am well pleased with my purchase and would buy it again if I had need to replace it for any reason.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good Device but spoilt by peripherals, 20 May 2011
    By 
    Wilts Weviewer (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    (VINE VOICE)   
    This review is from: Garmin nüLink! 1695 5-inch Sat Nav with Live Services, Live Traffic, Full European Mapping and Bluetooth (Electronics)
    At the outset, if you're looking for a nuLink device, Garmin's site shows a couple of newer devices which were not yet available at the time I bought the device. So if its the latest technology you want, it may be worth either checking or waiting.

    The satnav is generally one that befits a top-of-the-range device. The nuLink services appear really good, the most useful I've found is the ability to search for points of interest - the device obviously hits google via the web, meaning that you essentially have a free-form search rather than having to choose from a list. Very functional.

    Another plus is that the device will do a petrol check, based on your current location. Not only do you get to know where all the local stations are, but the device also tells you the price of petrol at each. From experience this isn't realtime, gets updated a couple of times a week, but quite useful nevertheless.

    More ambiguous is exactly what you get with "one year of free Garmin nuLink services". These services include, for example, a safety camera subscription. When I log in to the Garmin site, I see that I have the subscription, with the correct expiry date, and indeed I can access the data files and upload them to the device. However the device itself says I am not subscribed to this service. So I don't know whether there are two services here, or what. (I have contacted Garmin Support to clarify this but four weeks later am still awaiting a response - another minus.)

    In addition there are pay services such as the weather - you get local weather for free (i.e. included in the basic service) - great, certainly beats looking out of the window! - but if you want the ability to check the weather anywhere, you need to pay a monthly subscription. I think its quite a small amount but these things add up.

    Not entirely satisfied with the quality of the maps, either. Last weekend it sent us onto a motorway when it was supposed to be directing us to a hotel - it thought that the hotel was accessed from the slip road when in fact no access road existed. Also when driving locally, the maps do not reflect changes that were made to the road layout over a year ago (despite us having downloaded the latest available maps onto the device).

    One other thing which might interest people moving over from TomTom. With TomTom I was used to paying an annual subscription to keep my maps updated, however with the Garmin device you buy a one-off map update which is good for the lifetime of the device, so this should be cheaper in the long run. Worth shopping around for this by the way - at the time of writing the lifetime update costs £75 on Garmin's site but only £55 on Amazon.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 1695 not working out of the box., 3 Feb 2011
    By 
    S. COX (South West UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Garmin nüLink! 1695 5-inch Sat Nav with Live Services, Live Traffic, Full European Mapping and Bluetooth (Electronics)
    Updated as of 28th March 2011

    3 stars, (originally 1), and that's because of faulty software in the 1695 that didn't allow me to link up with the Garmin web site for updates and downloads etc. Oh and a very slow technical support response from Garmin.

    Summary of review so far.
    I chose the Garmin 1695 over the Tom Tom 1000 due to poor user reports on the 1000 software and customer support although 99% of professional reviews give both units at least 4 our of 5 stars.

    Mine had faulty software out of the box and wouldn't hook up correctly with the Garmin web updater software so it was sent back the same day. It took a week for the unit to be returned, at least it seems to be working. Garmin have given me an extra years subscription to NuLink for the hassle, (yet to show up on my on line account).

    The 'nuLink' subscription starts running when you switch on, (a live link that gives traffic reports, Google search,etc). As the unit was faulty I'd asked for the 'nuLink' activation date to be changed to the receipt of the repaired unit. Finally one week on & several emails this has been done.

    The Garmin web site with 'myDashboard' (for updates), seems to be a work in progress as I've encountered various problems, nothing major just a hassle. Still I gather Tom Tom's site has similar issues.

    Amazon advertised the unit as having White Pages, Weather radar, and Over the air speed cameras included in the subscripion, they were not. Several weeks battling between Amazon and Garmin and threatening legal action I finally received a settlement from Amazon so eventually all good there.

    OK one week on since repair, still problems with customer service but isn't this the case with almost all big corporations. Now it's working I'm impressed so far. (Compared to my 5yr old Road Angel). Clear display with 'lane assist' very handy indeed on motorways and flyovers. Voice instructions clear and easy to understand, (although female voice sounds quite 80's robotic, male is less annoying). You can download, (from Garmin Garage), other voices. Tom Tom gets Roger Moore, Yoda, Snoop Dog and Brian Blessed amongst others, Garmin ~ Sponge Bob and Dora the Explorer! Google works really well and very quick, (Garmin search option does not), type in Thai for instance and in a few seconds all Thai restaurants near your location displayed, just click on one and press GO for navigation. The manual included with the unit is very basic you need to download the full instruction one for all functions and then some appear to be missing. I wanted more info displayed on screen, eventually found how to turn this on by: Tools/Settings/Navigation/Car/Map data layout. Now I can have the map with on the right, ETA, Distance to travel, Temperature, Current time etc, (you can vary these options). Current speed and road speed always displayed bottom right, (not 100% accurate, found the unit saying 60 when in a 50mph limit).

    Conclusion: Faulty from day one, repaired but still software issues. Misleading advertising on nuLink services,(now corrected) and a woefully bad customer support. However the unit works quickly with a host of useful functions and is way better than others I've used to date............Watch this space........
