Garmin discontinues much of nuvi 1xxx line

Garmin nuvi 1xxx discontinued

Garmin nuvi 1350T review

Garmin-nuvi-1350T-review UPDATEThis model has been discontinued. For current recommendations, please refer to our auto GPS buyers guide.

All of the new units in the 1200, 1300 and 1400 series come with customizable data fields and the ability to utilize the pedestrian and mass transit features on Garmin’s CityXplorer maps. They also have text-to-speech, so you’ll hear “drive one-half mile, then turn left on Elm Street,” instead of just “drive one-half mile, then turn left.”
