Some interesting new features and hardware in the Nuvi series, but nothing that gets me very excited. If the specs are correct, it appears they are introducing a 7" device with a resolution of only 480x272. 

Now let's see what they might have in the handheld department. There have been rumors of new Oregon and Edge models but I haven't seen any specifics.

Jeez, a 5" device is pretty large on most windshields.  I have my 7" Nexus and it would be large for driving (more like a double-din cd deck).  And that resolution is awful.

I would love Garmin to step up their handheld devices but it seems like many times they stumble (pretty hard).

Looks thinner than the older models and it has GLONASS. Dual orientation screen, same resolution as current models (400x240). Apparently a new transreflective screen technology with LED backlight? Bluetooth onboard. Looks like a second button under the power switch.

Screenshots show an automotive mode display that looks like the Montana. Looks like there are a lot of changes to the user interface. Note that it has not yet been FCC approved, so we might have to wait a bit.
