4 out of 5 stars   Accurate
By Funky Grandma on December 05, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS with Lifetime Map and Traffic updates (GRNUVI1490LMT)
Pros: Easy To Read, Large Screen, Accurate Maps, Compact, Reliable Performance
Cons: Acquires Satellites Slowly, Difficult Menus
Other Comments: This is my third brand of GPS. It is the only one that did not ask me to drive routes that were impossible due to incorrect inforrmation. The first two directed me on a route that would have necessitated driving across a six lane highway where there was no access. I am still learning to use the unit fully.

4 out of 5 stars   Good but I still need help
By VRW on November 13, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS with Lifetime Map and Traffic updates (GRNUVI1490LMT)
Pros: Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact, Large Screen
Cons: Difficult Menus
Other Comments: It came with a usb cord but it is only good for charging. It did not come with the correct usb for connecting to my computer. I had to order it separately when I finally discovered why "can not locate device" kept showing up on my laptop. It doesn't show the POIs as we travel like my TomTom does but seems to be pretty accurate. I wish it was easier to map my particular custom routes. Maybe others find it easier to use, I guess I am still learning. Also wish the call center (for help) was open during hours I can call. They are only open when I am at work.

5 out of 5 stars   "Big RV Cruises Without White Knuckles"
By "Wheeling Willy" on November 01, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS with Lifetime Map and Traffic updates (GRNUVI1490LMT)
Pros: Portable, Easy To Read, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy Menus, Info In Ample Time, Compact, Reliable Performance, Easy To Set Up, Very Sharp Picture, Large Screen, Simple Controls
Cons: None
Other Comments: When wheeling a 37' RV through traffic in a big city this unit gives me ample time to get moved into the proper lane without destroying those vehicles beside me. My heart remains down in my chest. No more white knuckle driving. When driving twisty mountain roads it prepares you for what's ahead... if properly positioned. :-) I can actually see around corners... minus traffic of course.

5 out of 5 stars   Wife Saving Features
By Jim, The Coder on November 01, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 1490LMT 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS with Lifetime Map and Traffic updates (GRNUVI1490LMT)
Pros: Easy Menus, Easy To Set Up, Large Screen, Easy To Read, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact
Cons:
Other Comments: Better half travels a lot and this thing makes it possible for her to travel in unfamiliar territories without the constant fear of making a wrong turn or taking a wrong exit. It is not perfect, and very rarely the 3d maps will show a wrong lane, but as far as I know that has happened only twice in her travels and then it recovers, recalculates, and gets her back to the correct path. And having bluetooth connectivity for her cell phone makes it just about perfect for her while on the road.
