UPDATE: A new model, the Garmin nuvi 3490LMT, has superseded this one (despite the lower model number!).

Garmin quietly adds maps of Mexico to your nuvi

Done a map update lately? If so, you may want to check your nuvi and see if it’s ready to head south of the border. The screenshot above is from my nuvi 765T after the latest map update. From GpsPasSion:
Garmin nuvi 1100 for the frugal navigator
May 25, 2010 By 12 Comments
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.
Dissecting the Garmin nuvi series

It seems that Garmin is trying to create a nuvi for everyone, but with so many models in the marketplace, they’ve also created quite a bit of confusion. So here’s the low down on the various nuvi series available in the US. I’ll go through each series in numerical order; below that is a chart which breaks them down by date of introduction. These are fairly broad strokes — for more details, see my Garmin nuvi comparison chart.

Garmin nuvis with lifetime map updates (LMU) hit market
May 11, 2010 By 11 Comments
UPDATE: For a list of current models with lifetime maps, check out our Garmin nuvi comparison chart.
Garmin has quietly expanded the number of units bundled with lifetime map updates. These were first spotted at Costco a couple of months ago, but they are now making their way into the broader market. You may see them listed as LMU (lifetime map updates) or as models with nuMaps Lifetime Map Updates. Here are the ones we are aware of and some places we’ve seen them:
Finally — Garmin City Navigator Israel NT!
April 15, 2010 By 65 Comments
UPDATE: According to Garmin support, this product is only compatible with the nuvi 1xxx models. (Thanks Alex)
In my nearly five years of GPS blogging, I’ve had more requests for GPS maps of Israel than any other country. Hence, I thought this morning’s release of Garmin City Navigator Israel NT warranted a post. The link may throw an error, but the page should be available shortly if it’s not now. The maps cover most of Israel, including Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Haifa and Eilat (I’ve included a coverage map below, after the jump). Roads and names can be displayed in either Hebrew or English.
