Garmin nuvi 650 announced

UPDATE: Check out our Garmin nuvi 650 review

In addition to the nuvi 200 series, Garmin today announced the nuvi 650, an entry level model in their wide-screen line. What differentiates the nuvi 650 from the nuvi 660? The 650 lacks Bluetooth, an FM transmitter, or a traffic receiver (though the latter can be added as an option). The nuvi 650 comes with pre-loaded maps of North American or over 30 European countries.

Garmin also announced two other new European models today — the nuvi 600, which includes regional maps of Europe, rather than the comprehensive coverage found in the 650, and the 660FM, a European version of the nuvi 660. All three models are expected to become available in April.
