    I am a refurb buyer, if there is a way I can buy a refurbished product with a good warranty I will buy that one. And won again with this unit. Looks great out of the box, does not look "used". The unit is fast, clean and works great. I am having an issue with the NuLink service right now.

    Picked up a refurb 1690 for under $100 and so far couldn't be more pleased. Everything included looks to be as new. I registered & updated the software immediately to version 3.9 from the Garmin web site upon receiving it. Everything work as it should, but I have not tried bluetooth.

    Short extract: In addition, the network provides the 1690 with other online services such as local and movie listings, real-time flight status, weather forecasts, even currency exchange information. All of this is updated regularly thanks to the always connected nature of the nüLink!

    Short extract: This is one of the first Garmins to have the NuLink Live services I like the fact that you get a years subscription to live service included in the price which is better than Tom Tom which only comes with a few months before you have to pay for it.
