Amazon.com Product Description
This is a refurbished GPS. Refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions. Some GPS may contain cosmetic blemishes.

Mei Ling Andreen (UNIVERSAL CITY, CA, US)
I love this GPS ..it's so cool, gets me where I need to be without any fuss.. sometimes it wants to take me on a busier street than I want to use, but I love it. It has all the features one would ever need, wish it was built-in.

Had problems with the first unit in which the Shipper and Amazon had a replacement in transit the same time my call tag arrived to pick up the defective unit. That what I call great service. I've had a pharos GPS unit for 7-8 year now but have to say that Garmins 1490 is awesome.

I've owned several Garmin GPS products in the past, and The 1490T is my latest purchase. I consider Garmin truly the "gold standard" in the product field. Attractive casing, well engineered and laid out and very intuitive. The five inch screen is bright, easily read in traffic and very colorful, and frankly I can't understand why this five inch screen option is not offered on the rest of the upper scale Garmin line. Bluetooth linking to my I-Phone 3G S is flawless and audio quality both sending and receiving is quite good. The interface is easy to input addresses, and the user menu offers a wealth of information you can op for. In reading another review here included, the compliant arose over outdated map data, undoubtedly related to the refreb status. I too noted older map data in my unit, but with a simple free call to Garmin tech support I was easily able to overcome this problem. The tech support representative simply asked me for proof of current purchase date from Amazon, which I provided easily and quickly by emailing a copy of my Amazon online invoice. I was then provided with an updated current warranty date, and made eligible for the sixty day initial Garmin online complimentary mapping update. The resulting download I was then allowed to access through my newly set up Garmin account page gave me the latest North American map soft wear version 2010.40. The graphic lane change feature is amazing, as all screen clutter is immediately removed as you approach a major highway brake and are shown a colorful 3D arrow guiding you visually into the correct lane to maintain route. Again, the five inch screen size shines! The 1490T is state of the art, providing superb routing, colorful interface, excellent blu tooth connectivity, and the wonderful lane change feature...at $199.00 as a refurbished with a full year's factory warranty..look no further!


4 out of 5 stars GARMIN NUVI 1490t   March 14, 2010
D. Menke
Overall great product.

PRO: Easy to see large display, traffic feature is helpful, "turn lane" function is great - you will never miss an exit on a multiple lane highway.

CON: The only issue I have is with the user interface. This model (not sure if standard on all GARMINs) does not have an "escape" key to bring you directly back to the main menu. Meaning there are many menus with menus, as you drill down you have to push as many "x" buttons to get back to the main menu or map. This can be very annoying.
