Transform your compatible nüvi 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 nüvi.
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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi, drivers can start receiving the vital data from their vehicle and run diagnostic checks through nüvi’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.

Customer Review :
Very interesting add-on.. : Garmin ecoRoute HD Vehicle Diagnostics Communicator HD
Just bought a "new" (to me) car and wanted a way to check the diagnostic error codes (if there were any) as well as the general health of the engine. So far while I wish the EcoRoute HD were cheaper, it fits the bill nicely.
Installation
------------
Even thought the EcoRoute HD came with a seemingly thick manual (that I haven't read), the installation literally couldn't be easier.
1) Find your car's OBD-II port
2) Plug in the device
3) Start your car
4) Go to EcoRoute on your GPS and follow the instructions. Takes about a minute.
The Good
--------
- The EcoRoute HD provides good feedback on what your engine is doing. There are many, many different (about 10) on-screen gauges to look at, some useful like the Tachometer, some not so much, like the Throttle position gauge.
- The ability to read and reset the diagnostics errors could be EXTREMELY useful if you're someone who likes fixing your own car. Especially since all cars are now computerized.
- Installation was a no-brainer.
The Bad
-------
1) Where to put it?
On my car (a Mercury Grand Marquis), the OBD-II port is on the right of the steering wheel, between the wheel and the center console. Unfortunately there isn't a single flat space (within the 6" reach of the cord) with which to use the provided two-sided tape to secure the EcoRoute HD itself out of the way. I had to essentially shove it behind the dash, sitting on top of the center "transmission hump". If you have a front wheel drive car, or one that doesn't have such a place to sit the device, it might get tricky keeping it out of the way.
What I don't know is whether or not shoving it behind the dash actually affects the readouts that are shown on the GPS.
2) The gauges can't be set to come up automatically.
I love my 5" display, Garmin GPS (1490LMT?) but honestly, when driving back and forth to work every day, I don't actually pay a lot of attention to the map display. I already know where I'm going and how to get there. What I would like -- and again, I admittedly haven't read the 50+ page manual -- is a way to set the default on my GPS to automatically display the gauges instead of having to start up the GPS, tap on "Tools", then "EcoRoute", then "gauges" every time I start the car.
