Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 1490T's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator NT street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most major roads. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. With the 1490T's enhanced user interface, you can slide your finger to conveniently scroll between screens. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). And with HotFix satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, nüvi 1490T integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the 1490T while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap the screen and speak into its built-in microphone. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialing for contacts and points of interest.

Receive Free Traffic Alerts
Steer clear of traffic with nüvi 1490T's integrated FM traffic receiver and free lifetime* traffic updates. Receive alerts about traffic delays and road construction that lie ahead on your route. Next, simply touch nüvi's screen to view traffic details or detour around the problem area. Watch informational video

Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter.

Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 1490T saves you gas and money with ecoRoute--a green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route, tracks fuel usage and more. The 1490T includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can download pictures from Garmin Connect Photos and navigate to them. It's also compatible with MSN Direct (receiver purchase and subscription required). With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know your location. Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations. The 1490T features Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD cards.

What's in the Box
nüvi 1490T, Preloaded City Navigator NT for North America, Lifetime traffic, FM traffic receiver with vehicle power cable, Vehicle suction cup mount, USB cable, Dashboard disc, Quick start manual

NOTE: The initial setup is crucial when first using your nüvi - it allows the device to find and sync with satellites. The startup screen will allow you to skip through this section but doing so could cause your nüvi to have difficulty working the way it should. Without completing this important step, your nüvi may default back to the location of Kansas City each time it is turned off and on again, not saving your settings. It also may not be able to pick up the satellite properly.

Which nüvi is Best for You?

Note: All nüvis come with detailed NAVTEQ maps containing more than 6 million pre-loaded point of interest locations.

4 out of 5 stars So Far...So Good   September 2, 2010
Foxfire
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased a refurb unit and received it two days earlier than advertised. Great service from Amazon. I was a little apprehensive with the map update after reading some of the reviews. Even though this was a refurb, I had no problem downloading the latest maps. It took about 30-45 minutes for the whole process.

I really like the BlueTooth feature. I have never used this on my cell. Connection was a snap and all of my contacts and numbers are right there on the GPS screen. The large screen is easy to view in bright sunlight. The voice prompts were loud enough and clear.

I have only given it a test drive and found that the destination was easy to program and the unit worked as advertised. We are going on a trip this weekend, so I will update this review after the trip and let you know how the unit performed under those conditions.



3 out of 5 stars Better than Magellan Road Mate 1475T   August 26, 2010
spentonbargains (Cleburne, TX)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Did a Magellan Road Mate engineer write the review for it? I have owned both the Garmin Nuvi 1490T and the Magellan Road Mate 1475T.
Both have flaws, but the Magellan will drive you crazy. The problems with the Magellan:
1. Voice sounds like a muffled tin can -sometimes hard to understand.
2. Gets confused coming out of a side-excursion, if you turn your car off, then back on, like at a restaurant.
3. Can't find simple names of things, like a community hospital.
4. Traffic on the Magellan is worthless; it doesn't re-route you in heavy traffic like the Garmin.
5. I prefer the Garmin's 400ft...300ft...200ft....100ft. over the "ding-ding" of the Magellan, which doesn't always "ding" until its too late.
6. The Magellan often doesn't stick to the main road.
7. The Garmin is much more user friendly.
8. The Magellan keeps assigning "home" to a newly requested route.
Neither unit really has a North arrow. The Magellan has one only if it turns the entire screen while driving -
if you are going south, then your map is upside down, and you have to mentally figure out to turn left rather
than right because the map is upside down.
Ads...Ads...Ads..both have ads....worse on the Garmin
Both units have their flaws, but the Magellan RoadMate is definitely not better than the Garmin!




5 out of 5 stars Great GPS!   August 12, 2010

I have been using this unit for couple of weeks and absolutely love it. It works great and in style. Love the lane assist and automatic rerouting if traffic congestion is detected.. truly a blessing in my part of this world!

Highly recommended!



4 out of 5 stars Advertising on new maps download   August 10, 2010
Legal Eagle (California)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought the Garmin nuvi 1490T a week ago. Yesterday, I downloaded the new maps. The process took about 2 hours. I would not advise using your computer during that process.

What I find totally outrageous is that I now receive an advertising pop-up every time I turn the unit on! I even received several while driving. This is not acceptable and is downright dangerous. The ads so far are from Olive Garden Restaurant and Best Western Motel, I believe it is. I refuse to patronize any business which stoops to such form of advertising!

A pop-up ad appearing at the wrong time could cause a serious accident. Shame on Garmin!!

I question whether these GPS units are legal under state laws which prohibit video devices being available for watching to the driver. The argument would be that these units have become similar to a TV screen by virtue of the advertising.
