Gas Saving GPS

Chris McGinn posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the new option on the Garmin GPS that is more fuel efficient.

Garmin’s new ecoRoute software update for its nuvi GPS was announced at the recent Consumer Electronics Show.

The free update helps drivers conserve money and gas by showing the most fuel-efficient route. In addition to “faster time” and “shorter distance” route preferences, drivers can now select “less fuel.”

The software also has a Fuel Report feature that tracks fuel usage over time and a Mileage Report that monitors mileage and fuel usage on a per-trip basis. The program allows you to customize for your vehicle type, fuel economy and the current price of gas.

Yes, the price of gas has gone down significantly in recent months but it is probably only a matter of time before it bounces right back up. This program makes sense if you are interested in saving green or saving fuel or both!
