UPDATE: I’ve now posted a Garmin nuvi 1100 resource page with links to hands-on reviews.
It was bound to happen. A couple days after my nuvi series disambiguation post, Garmin quietly rolls out another model, the Garmin nuvi 1100. This appears to be a response to $59 Black Friday specials and the everyday ubiquity of $79 PND deals. ‘Tis basically a Garmin nuvi 1200 minus text-to-speech, so you’ll just have to make do with “turn right” rather than “turn right onto Commoditization Boulevard.” There’s no price listed yet, nor does it seem to be available for sale at this point, either online or at brick and mortar retailers. But you can bet a rock bottom dollar that this 3.5” navigator will be hitting store shelves long before Black Friday.
About Rich Owings
Phenomenal job lately keeping us up-to-date on Garmin news. Thanks Rich!
Thanks! I’m having fun doing it. As far as getting them first, a lot fall under the category of luck. This one especially!
I just won a Garmin Nuvi 1100. I’m thrilled.
Cool. Where did you win it? I saw something that said this was going to be a WalMart exclusive, BTW.
I actually bought this in Wal-Mart almost 2 weeks ago…
Thanks for letting us know. It appears to be in store only (for now anyway), as it’s not on their website.
You’re welcome! As far as I can tell, having never owned one, it’s similar to the nuvi 205 model.
We bought one in Laural MD. as we we’re vacationing to visit the DC area. Very easy to use. We bought ours at Wal-Mart also for around $100.
I’m writing to find out where are these located for pricing, due to I just won one @ a Health Care Conference last week. However it seems like these 1100 series are no longer marketed. Where can I find information about the 1100 series device only. not one that’s compatible.
Thank You
Margie
It was a Wal-Mart exclusive but they don’t seem to have it now. I’m betting they will have it again, especially around Black Friday. Garmin has a page for it…
