nu Feature: Via point data fields
February 7, 2011 By 7 Comments
Hey, what do you know! While testing the Garmin nuvi 2350LMT, I found yet another new feature. You know how you can touch the left data field on newer models to change what is displayed? There are now three new options when actively navigating: Via Arrival, Distance to Via and Time to Via. And as with the 13xx and 14xx series, if you go to Tools > Settings > Navigation > Automobile > Map Data Layout > More Data (whew!), you can get more fields to show up on the right, as pictured above. I like the Via Arrival option; quite useful!

Garmin nuvi 2300 series hits the market
January 26, 2011 By 5 Comments
UPDATE: Read my hands on review of the Garmin nuvi 2350LMT. I also have resource pages up for the nuvi 2300LM, 2350, 2350LMT, 2350LT, 2360LT, 2360LMT and 2370LT.
They’re finally here. I don’t know what kind of supply chain delay Garmin had in getting these out, but the nuvi 2300 series has hit the market, a couple of months later than anticipated. These models have been eagerly awaited, as most include many of the top of the line features from the 3700 series without the astronomical price. That includes trafficTrends, Garmin’s historical road speed database for improved routing and myTrends, allowing the device to learn your preferred routes. Plus a new feature – the ability to correct speed limits. Follow the jump link for sources and a summary of the differences between models.

ST Microelectronics has announced the Teseo II chipset family, the first capable of receiving GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS signals.
