Get Real-Time Diagnostics ecoChallenge view. Gauges view. Fuel economy view. Transform your compatible n?vi into a real-time diagnostic computer with ecoRoute HD. This easy-to-install device not only provides fuel and mileage reports, but you get more accurate fuel consumption/conservation data by tapping into your vehicle's diagnostic system. Calculate your carbon footprint, engine performance, and more all through your n?vi. Save Gas...and a Trip to the Mechanic With ecoRoute HD, you not only save fuel, but the vehicle diagnosing capabilities could also save a trip to the mechanic. After completing a simple setup, you can use your n?vi to run diagnostic testing on vehicle systems, such as the battery and drive train, and you can monitor engine data, including temperature and emissions. You'll also receive diagnostic trouble codes and be able to reset your check engine light. How It Works By accessing onboard diagnostics and performance data through ecoRoute HD, drivers can use a compatible n?vi to wirelessly monitor real-time vehicle diagnostics while accurately calculating ecoRoute data and driver challenge scores (speed, acceleration, braking, etc.). By simply plugging the ecoRoute HD module into the vehicle’s standardized onboard diagnostics port (OBD II), safely mounting the transmitter clear of vehicle controls and pedals, and completing the easy one-time pairing with n?vi, drivers can start receiving the vital data from their vehicle and run diagnostic checks through n?vi’s intuitive interface before a trip to the auto shop is necessary. Drivers also get more accurate ecoRoute data, making fuel conservation easier than ever, and they can monitor their engine data (including temperature, RPM, emissions) and diagnostics through the trip computer screen and customizable gauges screen.

Firstly, you'll need to update your nuvi software, I'm using the 1490t which has the larger 5 inch screen. Once that's complete, simply plug the ecoroute into the ODB port (self-powered) and turn on the GPS. From there, I went to the ecoroute menu, and selected the "HD connect" option. It took several minutes to sync up, and I had to repeat this step when I changed over to a different vehicle. It appears that the ecoroute HD recognizes and stores the vehicle specific data it obtains in its own internal memory. Once connected (blue light) the first thing I noticed while driving was that the the "green leaf" score was suddenly a lot more accurate, going to 99 anytime I was coasting, even at low speeds, and going down in proportion with my degree acceleration. It seems Garmin was just winging it before without the actual diagnostics, now you are getting actual mileage efficiency results. Excellent for hypermilers like myself. Another critical aspect, realtime MPG is now one of the selectable options on the main map display. In addition, the other screens such as the ecoroute graph and trip computer are now loaded with diagnostic information such as temperature, battery charge, rpm, etc. Finally, there is a "Gauges" option on the ecoroute menu that allows you to monitor temperature, throttle position, and a host of other diagnostic datum. All of this is being relayed to the GPS thru bluetooth, however, you can still link to your cell phone for hands free operation, contact lists, etc. No conflicts there. I also tested the test engine error code functionality on my truck which consistently has a faulty temperature sensor tripping the check engine light. I was able to successfully display the error code with a short description, and turn off the check engine light. Bottom line, this device WILL save you on unneeded trips to the mechanic. All in all, the ecoroute HD delivers on all fronts. I'll probably be buying a second nuvi 1490t and ecoroute module for the truck, as this rivals anything you could possibly purchase in a vehicle accessory package, while costing a mere fraction of what you would pay for similar functionality, which to be honest, I don't believe exists in such a comprehensive package anywhere else. As mentioned before, this is great for hypermilers, and budding home mechanics alike. 26 of 27 people found the following review helpful: Worth every penny!, This review is from: Garmin ecoRoute HD Vehicle Diagnostics Communicator (Electronics) This add-on is simply amazing. I now have real-time MPG and have already gone from a consistent 25 MPG to 32 MPG (City + Highway Mileage, my regular 75 mile round trip commute) just by changing my shift habits (it's a manual transmission)and by popping it into neutral while coasting to a stop, rather than down shifting. I now know what my dad meant when he said brakes are easier to change than a clutch! It saves money big time. The math works out like this: $2.81 / gallon gas. Daily saving of $1.84 or $9.22/week or an ROI in 15 weeks. After that, I'll be saving about $480 / year in gas just by driving smart. I'm not a hyper-miler, but for my 2003 SVT Focus, this is fantastic! Installation was a breeze. I updated the software on my 1490T and then it synchronized right up with the eccoRoute HD. What is cool is the Nuvi actually downloads a software update to the ecoRoute and then you're ready to go. With the engine off, the Nuvi is no different. Once you start the engine and the ecoRoute HD links with the Nuvi, the ecoRoute menu button changes to ecoRoute HD. Then a couple new menu items appear: Gauges, Diagnostics, Fuel Economy. Gauge response time is pretty quick. Slight delay, but perfectly acceptable. I find I leave it on Fuel Economy most of the time. I know where I am going, but now I am saving a bunch on fuel just by having real-time MPG. I have a bum O2 sensor, and can clear the CEL from the ecoRoute HD screen. If you are looking to get some more functionality out of your compatible Nuvi, get it. It will pay for itself in no time and then turn into a tremendous money saver. If you want something that is just darn cool, get it! 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful: Works as Advertised,    This review is from: Garmin ecoRoute HD Vehicle Diagnostics Communicator (Electronics) The Ecoroute HD works exactly as advertised. It took about 5 minutes to install and set up the unit. It was dead simple I have a 2010 Jetta and my OBD port was underneath my steering wheel and a bit to the left. The unit was easy to hide. I have it connected to a 1690. The unit provides a wealth of information about fuel consumption. It's amazing how much data this thing collects It also gives you the option of about 10 different gauges if you are into that sort of thing. The diagnostic feature will even read your car's diagnostic codes and reset warning lights. My car was clear of any error codes. The unit connects to my 1690 via Bluetooth. However, you can still use your Bluetooth phone as well. Overall, I highly recommend the Ecoroute HD if you own a compatible Garmin GPS unit.
