June ship date for nuvifone G60?

Garmin-Asus-G60 Reuters is reporting that the first Linux-based Garmin-Asus smartphone (that would be the nuvifone G60) will ship in June. We still don’t have carrier announcements, although it seems fairly certain that it will be AT&T. Nor have pricing details been released. I suspect AT&T is keeping a lid on that info, but we should hear from them by sometime next month.

Garmin nuvi 1490T offers 5-inch screen The Garmin nuvi 1490T was announced today, a 5-inch wide version of the recently unveiled 1200 and 1300 series units. This will be a relatively high-end model, with lifetime traffic alerts, lane assist / junction view and Bluetooth. It also brings something to the table not found on the 1200/1300 models – multi-destination routing. Like the previously announced models, the 1490T will be 25% thinner than most current generation nuvis and offer pedestrian-friendly features and the ability to use optional CityXplorer™ maps. There is no indication yet that this is a replacement for the nuvi 5000, which includes custom route avoidances and the ability to connect a rear-view camera. We should know soon if those features are included, but I have my doubts. The MSRP is $499.99, with the unit expected to hit store shelves in July of 2009. I’ll update this post with a link to the product page once it becomes available. Done!

Top ten GPS for April 2009 It's the first of the month, which means it's time to look back at the stats and check out last month's top ten. In auto navigators, a couple of TomTom units moved up, and the new voice command nuvi 885T has cracked the list. On the sport side there was a major shift though, as the perennial number one, the venerable 60CSx dropped to number three. The new champ is the touch screen Oregon 400t. Also noteworthy is the continued rise of the DeLorme PN-40. As usual, the rankings are based on the number of times each GPS review has been read here on GPS Tracklog. With over 100,000 total page views for the 20 units below, it’s bound to tell us something about consumer interest in the GPS marketplace.
