Garmin Nuvi 3590LM |
Good voices, navigation, maps, etc. Easy to use.
Superceded by later model. |
Occasional unexpected reboots, especially when entering info to Trip Planner app.
Upcoming junctions shown only when route navigation is off.
Some map quirks. |

Good easy to use, responsive with clear mapping, good audio and useful pedestrian mode. |
Spoken commands are limited to apps section and needs to be available all the time. No separate socket for audio if you wanted to listen to downloaded audiobooks or mp3 files privately. |

Screen size and quality; very responsive |
deeply nested menus, eg. re-planning of route with different avoidances requires traversal of many menu levels. Would like custom menu / shortcuts |

*Smart looking device
*Quick GPS fix
* Quality looking maps
* Ability to run extra ymaps
* Turns on/off with car ignition
* Solid windscreen mount
* Comes with FM receiver integrated into power cord. |
* Price - especially when you have to pay for add-ons;
* Reflective glare can be a issue in certain situations;
* Pronunciation of words and abbreviations get lost in translation (Motorway is a classic example)
* Lack of spoken speed alert like Mio, Navman etc
* Layout of menu could be better |

Great large, clear touchscreen. Good traffic alert system. |
I have been using a TomTom GPS for 4 years and it has taken me quite a while to get used to the Garmin software/menus
Also note that to quote Garmin the nuvi 3500 series will only provide audible speed alerts when the devices locale is set to a European country. If the devices locale is set to any country outside of Europe (including the United States), the device will not provide audible speed alerts.

Great screen and good features. Extensive junction view and lane assist coverage plus voice command.
|
HD traffic reception does not seem to be all that great (in France) and Bluetooth functionality is also less than stellar. |

Screen, speed of calc and reroute, Trip Planner, (once you eventually find out that that is where your routes go). |
Sometime voice misses turning points. Difficult finding waypoints loaded from Base Camp. Could do with a more structured POI contents for custom POIs. |

Lighter weight and more compact than TomTom. Thus lesser weight and size to mount. Price is good by comparison to others. Good accesories kit currently on offer gratis. |
Having to deal with Garmin Australia. I asked them where to and how to obtain Europe mapping. Then I annoyed them by asking a number of other logical questions. A family member purchased it as a present for me and paid a cash price $59 less than RRP. |
