Having been a Garmin owner for when it comes to 5 years I had no doubt what brand I was going to buy, my old Garmin served me well but it was time for a new one and the wide screen was a key feature I wanted in my new one.

5My Garmin nüvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
By Banjo46
I without delay started out using my Garmin nüvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator. I planned various trips, researched a lot of items as to locatings for my upcoming trip. During the trip I searched for my nearest Starbucks coffee houses, rest areas and restaurants. I found this little device to be invaluable, for my Spouse likewise (who, not being a computer person... without delay started out using it). I am addicted...I love it. Can't wait to commence planning the next trip. I did have 2 instances of misdirection to areas that were not as requested...(1)a Starbucks (was not where I was directed...I accredited this one to the fact that Starbucks had closed a good deal of of it is stores in recent months)(2)a restaurant was not where I was directed. I believe Streets / Lanes / Avenues and Ways played a huge portion in this misdirection. I love my Garmin nüvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
One last item... my vehicle is equipped with OnStar and the basi cell phone to be turned on in the vehicle is normally the initial to be picked up by the OnStar Bluetooth phone scheme (it only handles one at a time).... The Garmin nüvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator will pick up a second Bluetooth cell phone and is deafening and clear. Thanks Garmin.

5Worth It
By Diane Harrison
So you may compensate a little more for the life time maps, but it;s worth it! Worked outstanding out of the box. Be prepared, it took 4 hrs to upload the new maps, but hoping next update doesn't take that long. Its easy to work and quick to respond. One of the best buys I've made recently. My sister has the 13?? Garmin with the 4.7 screen. The 5 screen does make a divergence and now she wishes she had gotten the one I have. Pay a little more for a larger screen, you'll be amazed at the difference!
