The iphone gets pretty hot with just the GPS on. I can only imagine how much hotter it will be when you have it on the dash for an extended period of time with that raw sunlight hitting it dead on. Call me crazy, but i think were gonna see new headlines of exploding iphones on drivers faces.
Kinda scary..lol]]>Aug 18th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/
In addition to all of that, there aren't enough iPhone users to even make a dent in the standalone PND market. It may seem like a large crowd, but the majority of people will wish for a standalone PND.]]>Aug 18th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/Aug 18th 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/garmins-connected-nuvi-1690-and-browser-camera-equipped-nuvi/

I never own any portable nav unit before. After reading news/comments from engadget about the new nüvi 1820/1860 that catch my attention and i would like to buy one.

Can anyone provide any advise?....
1) buy nüvi 1690 now
2) wait to buy nüvi 1820/1860

Thank you,
