No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an
upcoming turn. Lane Assist with junction view guides you
to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit,
making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to
navigate. It realistically displays road signs and
junctions on your route along with arrows that indicate
the proper lane for navigation. Lane Assist with
junction view is available in select metropolitan
cities.
For hands-free calling, nüvi 1690 integrates Bluetooth®
wireless technology with a built-in microphone and
speaker. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth
phone and talk hands-free through the 1690 while staying
focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's
touchscreen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just
tap the screen and speak. Enjoy convenient 1-touch
dialing for contacts and POIs.
