By Shane McGlaun on Wednesday, Sep 2nd 2009 1 Comment

I have never ridden so far or so long on a bicycle that I needed a GPS. I barely need a GPS in my car most of the time. If you are an avid bicyclist that wants to keep track of how far and how fast you ride (among other things) Garmin has a new cycling GPS called the Edge 500.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Aug 18th 2009 No Comments

Looks like Garmin aren’t going to take the rise in PND apps for smartphones lying down: an anonymous source has just officially outed specifications for the Garmin nuvi 1690 we’ve been seeing recently, together with its bigger siblings the nuvi 1820 and 1860.  The 1820 and 1860 are the first two models from Garmin’s new nuvi 1800-series, with 4.8-inch WVGA touchscreens, WiFi and Bluetooth, and – in the case of the 1860 at least – a 3-megapixel camera with geotagging.
