Needs Work
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) The nuvi 1490T was my first ever Garmin. Like other reviewers, I found the display to be big, bright, and very clear. The refresh rate was also very good, and there was much to like about the unit. Since I have never had a Garmin before, I did not find the "lack of detail" others have complained about to be a problem. The spoken directions were very ...

Registration Tips
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1450LMT 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates (Electronics) Just received my 1450LMT so I will post more details later about its performance but I wanted to share some install/update/registration tips based on my experience today. I had to call Garmin customer service and based on their help, I would think Garmin would want to include the following tips in the box since the customer service rep said this is a common p...

Register and update your GPS before you use it
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1450 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics) We took our new GPS on our vacation this summer and it did all the things folks have complained about. Turning off, locking up. I sent it back and got another one and immediately registered it online and new software was installed, probably patches or fixes for these problems. It has worked perfectly ever since. The first one also had a really weird sound to the voice. The second one was fine. ...

Adequate but disappointing, particularly compared to older models
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) Many other reviews have said it, but I must say it again. This model is a large step backwards in many ways from my previous Nuvi 350 (which I purchased in Dec. 2006 and used happily until it was stolen in November 2007). I have owned the 1490t since April of 2010 and been using it semi-regularly in various parts of the country since then. I won't...

Locked up at start screen, only 57 days old
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) This easy-to-learn nuvi 1490T is my first GPS and I love the independence it gave me on my CA road trip - first time there, no navigation problems to speak of. The Garmin did freeze a couple of times during rush hour in Fresno & San Francisco, but overall, truly a lifesaver. 57 days after impulse purchase at BB, pressed the power button and it ...

Has ads and is a LEMON!
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates (Electronics) I cannot recommend this unit to anyone after what has happened to me. I consider myself a GPS veteran, as I've owned various models since they first became available to the public. This unit has basically died after just two weeks of ownership while I'm in the middle of a cross country trip. Now I have to go out and buy a new one (obviously a diff...

Love it!!! Can't believe how well it works!!!
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1450LMT 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates (Electronics) I can't beleive how incredible this GPS is. It works even out in the middle of the hick back woods in the rural mountains, even the smallest streets. It is almost impossible to get lost with this thing. If you miss a turn or something, it recalulates and puts you back on tract within seconds. The traffic alert feature works great. The lifetime maps is very coo...

Loved it - Loved it - then DEAD in 5 hours (update 07-08-10)
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) I received the 1490T on Tuesday evening and downloaded all the updates and new maps. I paired it with my Bluetooth phone and left it to charge overnight. On Wednesday we left Central Florida for the Panhandle and the 1490T worked flawlessly - this GPS was really terrific and we played with most every function. I turned it off and put it in the center...

Nice upgrade
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) Update: August 15:- My con I listed below about the buggy firmware (2.7)... it's VERY buggy. The nuvi "forgets" my settings such as vehicle icon, map detail display level, time format whenever I plug my nuvi into my PC (to transfer waypoints and such). Still keeping the unit but looking forward to an update REAL SOON...hopefully.I'v...

Worth moving up!
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Electronics) I have now had a couple of weeks to work with the new Garmin 1490T. I should begin by mentioning that I have been using Garmin GPS units in airplanes for quite some time, and my experience with ROAD GPS units began with a Street Pilot III soon after they were introduced. Currently I also have a Garmin KNA-G510 which drives a 7" in-dash K...
