Guess what, kiddos? Garmin’s minty fresh connected PND is now shipping, and if you plot on getting your home address on one of those marks, you best break out the checkbook. The nüvi 1690 is now moving out from Amazon’s warehouses, and just as promised, it’s going for a penny under $500. Is real-time access to Google search, white page listings, real-time traffic and flight status updates on your GPS unit really worth all that cheddar? Maybe — but just wait until those two years of free service expire. Excellent times.
