Good news for users of nüvi® 205-series and nüvi® 705-series.
This add-on software to be launched in February 2009.
With ecoRoute, users will have a “less fuel” option as a routing preference. When selected, nüvi will determine the best route for saving gas.
Features:
- 1. Allows users to select the most fuel-efficient route and even track their fuel usage.
- Fuel Report tracks fuel usage over time.
- Mileage Report monitors mileage and fuel usage on a per-trip basis.
2. Can also customize your nüvi by entering vehicle type, your car’s fuel economy and the current price of gas.
3. Generates Fuel Report and Mileage Report

Hope users can install this software and feedback on the efficiency.
I wonder how different "most fuel-efficient" route is calculated, aside from "shortest route".
