It is really unbelievable just how bad this navigation is. I do not mean navigation itself, but the user interface.
I had a tom-tom before but I wanted to try someting else and I cannot believe that this navigation is actually sold and bought.
One example-preparing your journey at home(no gps signal). Tom-tom goes to menu-navigation-navigate from A to B.Done. Garmin- go to menu, go to settings, go to satellites, choose satellite simulation ON. Huh? Then go to map, find the start location, choose “set position” and then you can continue. There is NO manual attached to this navigation, so you have to figure that out yourself. Took me 3 hours to figure that out. Man selling me this navigation in the store also gave up after half an hour. This is the most unintuitive thing I have ever seen. And why don’t you have manual attached to something that cost over 100 EUR ???
Second example-while navigating battery gets low. In Tom-tom- sound signal and small flashing object on the screen. In Garmin- map gets off(!!!) and you get a warning with “OK” that must be pressed on the screen. Imagine that happening right before some big crossing. You are left without any help, not to mention how dangerous can it be to be forced to press the screen while driving.
Third example-connecting the navigation to computer with USB. You can not turn it on. There is no program to use in an your computer while connected. You have to hope that this thing is actually charging and disconnect it when you think that the time is right.
Fourth example- finding alternatives to the calculated route. No feature “avoid part of the route”, no feature “road blocked in…”. And “Find another route” ? I had set navigation from North Poland to centre of Czech republic. About 1000 km long. Plenty of possibilities to drive. And when I wanted to see what the other possibilities are, the system calculated alternative, when only difference was after leaving parking lot i should turn not left to the main street, but right and go around the block. So the only difference was on the first 50 meters. What is that supposed to be ? Joke ?
Do not buy this thing- classical paper map works much better.

Works as described in the manual. Little bit pricey for the features. I have not tried lane guidance yet.

I am very disappointed that your pricing is not competitive with others. If I had known , I would have
purchased my GPS from Costco which offers a lifetime of updates for maps.

The Garmin 1490T GPS is very easy to use & has great features (lane assist, Bluetooth, etc.). Its also thin enough to keep in my purse so I don’t have to leave it in the car. I highly recommend this unit.

Purchased the unit for an upcoming trip. The Garmin 1390 worked exhalent. This unit is very intuitive. The only complaint is the food / restaurant locator needs updating.If I had it to do over, I would make the same purchase. Grate prices at amazon
