Real-time data monitored by ecoRoute HD, which has an expected availability date of March 2010 for a suggested retail price of $149.99, includes vital diagnostics such as:
• Intake air temperature information
• Coolant temperature data
• Throttle position and engine load
• Intake manifold pressure
• Battery and charging system information
• Mass airflow rate
• Timing advance
• Emissions

ecoRoute hd: Transform your nuvi into a real-time diagnostics computer

This looks awesome!

Hmm... The GUI is certainly nice looking, but in terms of functionality, it seems to do less than the ScanGuage II though. When you factor in the need to have a support Nuvi unit to go along with this, it doesn't seem like it is that good a buy law.

ew, your device is ugly, I don't want it anywhere near my car.

And it doesn't give me directions... This garmin thingee wins hands down.

If it
- reads all those data
- speed from the speedo
- rev from the rev meter
- GPS position
- correlated to time
- output them to an excel spreadsheet....

DEFINATELY more useful than Scan Gauge then!! Under $200 for the dongle + another $300 for the Nuvi unit, still a bargain! Perfect for the track.

for tracking use? haha... i doubt it can be used that way unless they open the SDK...

GPS functionality is provided by the GPS unit itself, although the association with fueling info in the fuel reports could be a helpful feature. But how often do you really care what your fuel consumption is for a particular trip mid way through a tank of gas? It just seems kind of odd to me law.

The on-screen reports look fairly nice, but I was browsing through Garmin's site, and I couldn't see any indications that the data could be exported to Excel spreadsheets / CSV. If that can be done, then it could indeed be a really useful feature. But then you'd have to do a lot of number crunching yourself, and there would be a LOT of data to process through.

The ScanGauge is also an OBD II reader, and is capable of clearing OBD codes. I see no mention of this functionality for the Garmin dongle.

So at the end of the day, you pay $170 for the ScanGauge, and you pay $150 (dongle) + $200 (Nuvi) for the Garmin combo. I'll take the ScanGauge for 1/2 the cost with the added benefit as an OBD code scanner law.

there is a Fleet Management Interface for Garmin product connecting to GPS beacons...it is possible that they might have interface for the obd II info in the future.

IC. Funny how Garmin's site doesn't mention the full features of the unit.

If you already have a compatible Nuvi unit, then this ecoRoute dongle does make sense.

The GUI looks nice, but my ScanGauge is consealed, so it does not even look like it's there.
