Garmin has announced a new accessory for your Garmin Nuvi Satellite Navigations. Dubbed as Garmin EcoRoute ESP Module, this accessory can diagnose your car, and display the details on the Nuvi satellite navigation. It provides details on the working of the car including real-time fuel economy, intake air temperature, coolant temperature, emissions, engine light and so on.
Garmin EcoRoute ESP Module could be fitted behind your car’s dashboard and it transfers data to satellite navigation via blue tooth. It is powered by the car’s OBD-II diagnostic port. The new Garmin Nuvi Sat Nav will have a supporting software to let the user customize which workings of the car you need the module to display. The device could be even set to send alerts for each one of them, if found to be wrong.
This device could be expected by January 2010. No much information is available on its price or the market of the launch.
