I've been using this sat nav for some 3 years now and have had no issues. Also use as hands free for mobile. |
Cannot set vehicle to truck |

Fast, love turn late indicator, multiple display of speed, ETA, travel times and distances |
Sometimes suggests dumb or impractical routes (but so did two previous GPSs. |

GARMIN nüvi 1390 LMT |
Very bright and clear screen. More concise directions as compared to my old NAVIGON.
Hope that included lifetime update will make it unnecessary to buy a new device for some years. |
Lacks a suspend mode. So, if you switch it off during the trip (as I mostly did on the Autobahn), it takes quite a time to start/restart it, and you have to press three buttons to go back to navigation mode: 1st Confirm warning, 2nd Enter destination, 3rd Last found, 4th First entry

bright screen, good sound volume, fast route recalculation, small and quality windscreen mount, easy do update via PC |
a bit slow boot-up, map does not provide enough detail, sometimes confuses in the city (Melbourne) |

Easy to use, great screen and map/voice directions. |
Bad routing decisions that can't be changed particularly roads with no turn left/right. Occasionally directs you miles out of the way so need to review the trip before setting off. |

* 25 percent slimmer than previous Garmins.
* No-hassle, free lifetime traffic detection and avoidance.
* Pedestrian and cycling-friendly features.
* Automatically log mileage with ecoRoute feature. |
Needs more versatile, easier-to-use route preview feature. |

Just got it but may be trading it back for a 1490t so I can add routes. |
Seems to work pretty well. I did find it difficult to identify the traffic alerts as the line of travel was bolder than the traffic color coded line. |

I am very happy with my nuvi 1390T, especially with the handsfree Bluetooth feature. Not only can the party Im talking to hear me clearly, I can hear them, as well! As far as the actual performance of the unit in providing timely directions, I will say it recalculates a missed turn exceptionally fast! The ability to add the mini-SD card is also very helpful in that just keeping up with the POIs and other somewhat large-ish files eats the units available memory pretty fast. |
The unit tends to be somewhat finicky regarding establishing a link with the satellites. I understand it needs to have clear view of the sky, but (since it's my newest toy) I would think it would connect while I'm sitting in my living room right next a sliding glass door. The only other possible issue I might have is the menus, sub-menus, and practically buried menu items for a simple setting (i.e. the audio notification settings for for my cameras and custom POIs). |
