Garmin nüvi 1490T
The large screen Garmin nüvi 1490T offers multiple-point routing and lane
assist with junction view to help you manage busy highway interchanges. It also
has subscription-free traffic alerts for most cities, hands-free calling,
pedestrian navigation options and ecoRoute.
See Even More
It's easy to see where you're going on Garmin nüvi 1490T's 5-inch touchscreen
display. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright,
brilliant color. With its large screen, you'll always get the big picture.
Navigate City Transit
With its enhanced pedestrian navigation capabilities, Garmin nüvi 1490T is
the perfect travel companion for getting around town. Download optional
cityXplorer content to help you navigate city public transit. Know where to
walk, where to catch the bus, subway, tram or other transportation and how long
it will take to get there. cityXplorer maps are available for select cities
throughout North America and Europe.
Take It With You
Twenty-five percent slimmer than other nüvis, you can take the ultra-thin
Garmin 1490T anywhere. It easily fits in your pocket or purse, and its
rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or
foot.
Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late
No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane
assist with junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn
or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate. It
realistically displays road signs and junctions on your route along with arrows
that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
Plan Ahead
Garmin nüvi 1490T includes advanced navigation features to take the worry out
of traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via points and
preview simulated turns on the Garmin 1490T's large screen. In addition, nüvi
1490T automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an efficient route
for errands, deliveries or sales calls. A trip log provides an electronic bread
crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
Garmin nüvi 1490T's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions:
"Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses
and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street
names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator NT
street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and the
speed limit for most major roads. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded
contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding
terrain. With the Garmin 1490T's enhanced user interface, you can slide your
finger to conveniently scroll between screens. You can also upload custom points
of interest (POIs). And with HotFix satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your
position faster to get you there quicker.
Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, Garmin nüvi 1490T integrates Bluetooth wireless
technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your
compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the Garmin 1490T while
staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad
to make a call. To answer calls, just tap the screen and speak into its built-in
microphone. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialing for contacts and points of
interest.
Receive Free Traffic Alerts
Steer clear of traffic with Garmin nüvi 1490T's integrated FM traffic
receiver and free lifetime¹ traffic updates. Receive alerts about traffic delays
and road construction that lie ahead on your route. Next, simply touch nüvi's
screen to view traffic details or detour around the problem area.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. Garmin nüvi 1490T saves you gas and money
with ecoRoute — a green feature that calculates the most fuel-efficient route,
tracks fuel usage and more. The 1490T includes many travel tools including JPEG
picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter,
measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can
download pictures from Garmin Connect™ Photos and navigate to them. It's also
compatible with MSN Direct (receiver purchase and subscription required). With
its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know your location. Simply tap
the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest
address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel
stations. The Garmin 1490T features Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is
compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom voices and
vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD cards.

(as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives
traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter. Traffic content
