First looks – Garmin nuvi 295W

from GPS Tracklog by Rich Owings

I’ve had the new WiFi-enabled Garmin nuvi 295W (Amazon) in my hands for 24 hours now and I thought I’d give you a sneak peek ahead of my full review. I don’t have a whole lot to say yet, but I will note the following:

• The menu looks similar (in places at least) to that found on the forthcoming nuvi 3700 series
• The hardware does indeed appear to be repurposed from the nuvifone G60, in design if not substance
• WiFi and email setup are drop dead easy
• The nuvi 295W has a powered mount, always a welcome addition

If there are things you’d like covered in my review, drop a comment below. Here are some more screenshots and a picture of the back:
