New Garmin Products?
While browsing I came across this hungarian website that from what I can understand is a reseller of Garmin products. In that page there are a number of Garmin products listed that haven’t been announced yet. These are:
-
Garmin i3D
Garmin c510
Garmin c510D
Garmin c550
Garmin nuvi 310
Garmin nuvi 310D
Garmin nuvi 360
This ofcourse is not a proof that Garmin will be releasing these new GPS devices or a proof that these even exist. However, I would not be surprised at all if this list was genuine since it is in accordance with Garmin’s latest press release where they announced that they were going to release a total of 50-60 new products in 2006.
Here is the relevant extract from the press release.
We look forward to introducing between 50 and 60 new products in 2006; ten new products introduced so far in 2006, many during January’s very successful Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
So is this list genuine? My guess is that it is, but I suppose we have to wait until the CeBIT to see if Garmin is going to announce any of these GPS devices.

[...] Garmin Nuvi 310 and 360 Announced March 8th, 2006 It seems that the rumor we posted a couple of days ago about Garmin releasing a number of new products is no longer a rumor. Today Garmin announced two of the GPS devices, I have mentioned in my previous post, the Nuvi 310 and the Nuvi 360 (pictured on the left). The Garmin Nuvi 310 will be sold exclusively in Europe while the Nuvi 360 will ship worldwide. Both of them integrate wireless technology and a microphone that allows you to make hands-free mobile phone calls using a compatible bluetooth phone. The nuvi 360 comes with preloaded maps of Europe or North America, while the 310 has only regional European map data. Both of them offer automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface. Some other features include MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm and a currency converter. [...]
