Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic
Digital camera Review: 1490 review
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall I'm very pleased with this device.. Had some initial reliability problems when using Bluetooth phone in that the system would reboot about every hour or so, very annoying, however recent firmware update (free) from Garmin seems to have addressed this issue..
I really like the Google maps interface i.e. when I find a location in Google maps I can sent that information direct to the device, very cool..
The "quickest route" selection does not always take you on the quickest route as when in LA it attempted to direct down a sequitous route of side streets vice keeping me on the freeway which had minimal traffic and traffic indicator showed no indications of blockages..
I like the find a restaurant / motel etc. feature, very useful. Plus it has ties to phone numbers so you can call the place your heading to for reservations info etc.. VERY COOL..
Overall I would highly recommend this device, its so much nicer than paper maps.
