Garmin Nuvi 1490T |
Very easy to use, large screen
Not all the GPS have the Itineraries options but the 1490T have it and you can create until 8 different itineraries.
If you haven't, buy the lifetime update so you can keep you GPS for a while |
Very slow to find an alternative road when you miss an exit.
You need to update the map occasionally to keep your device in touch

5 screen with easy to read information. Great window mount, very easy to use. |
Dont like the freeway interchange graphics as well as the Tom Tom I had, but otherwise superior. |

*Clear and bright display with light touch.
*Excellent announcement of turns including road name.
*Love the Where am I? function... a great feature in an emergency.
*Very easy to enter destination and any way points using multiple methods.
*Choice of keyboard layouts, QWERTY etc.
*Easy installation of Custom POIs using this GPS-Data-Team site.
*Announcement of Safety Cameras & School Zones if you install the sound files from this site (although the sound volume is too low for me). |
It doesnt seem possible to enter unidirectional POIs. e.g. Cameras which only work in one direction such as the one on the F3 at Ourimbah, NSW, which only monitors the North-bound lane.
It would also be nice if it only warned of school zones in the Kiss-and-Ride periods, morning and afternoon. My old Road Angel did.
No over-speed warning. |

Big screen, clear display, gives enough warning of direction / lane changes.
Volume control is good. touchscreen excellent / responsive . |
Strange pronunciation of some street names, up to 6 months behind in road changes - software problem. The direction change is not always clear - cut short. |

large, clear display. good range of tools and very quick to adjust to detours. |
Using Garmins POI Loader software is a breeze: it would be nice if it also did conversion from other formats. |

Nice screen, good mounting system,one connection to the car or computer |
poor route finding in my neighborhood,every manufacturer seems to have the same trouble I think it is something to do with the maps they use near to the airport for instance |
