Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 1490T GPS Navigation System:

Great GPS. I am using it on the Harley as well as in the truck. This unit allows you to build routes yourself on your computer and then download and save the route to the GPS. It also has Bluetooth, but it seems to only work so-so. Several people have commented that it sounds like I am in a well. So, I use my old reliable bluetooth earpiece. The 5" screen is nice. My old eyes can read it better than the smaller units. All in all, its a great unit I'd recommend to anyone.

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 1490T GPS Navigation System:

Excellent unit, great screen visibility, nice for passenger to use "on the move", slim configuration. I miss greater detail when driving, even asking it to show most detail still is not enough. Unit freezes up occasionally but I believe it to be a conflict with my portable Sirius satellite radio and/or sunspot activity.
I like the ability to set up custom info in the 4 group format on the right side of the screen.
