Garmin n??vi 1390T Automobile Navigator

Product was great for first couple of weeks it worked. Then would not power up and got stuck in an endless power on cycle that repeats every few seconds. Researched the problem and found MANY users who had same problem (some who had returned for 4th or 5th time). See the reviews on the Best Buy website to see what I mean. Garmin says it is a firmware problem but the problem is obviously very prevalent. I would avoid this product and find another. Be aware, Walmart 's website says it has a 15 day or less return policy on GPSs. Guess I'll find out tomorrow if they'll back their product after 35 days and only 3 uses of the product.

Nuvi 1390t - Product arrived promptly. Easy to set up. Worked great for a month. I updated the maps then it froze up. I emailed customer service. The next day with no email return I called they tried several different resets to no avail. I sent it back for a replacement. new one didn't arrive yet. Great price but a waste of money when it doesn't work.

This is my third Garmin product. I had an older model C550, then bought my mom a 1300. Liked the newer technology so much that I bought myself this new 1390T. It finds your location very quickly. I enjoy the lane assist very much, and the traffic navigator since I live near Atlanta. Just went on a 1300 mile trip with it and was very satisfied. As always, some of the POIs are not right, but I see where you can send in your input to help create a more reliable database. I've had no problems. I do miss the volume wheel on this newer model, but the bluetooth and other features make up for pushing a few more buttons to adjust the volume.

I purchased first the 1300 which was about $129 and really liked it, but after I read a little about the 1390T. I decided to return the 1300 cough up another 100 bucks and got the 1390T. This thing is the coolest. It is setup so any dummy(meaning me)can use it. Besides all the things you would expect a GPS to have it has Bluetooth(which only means it will work wirelessly with my phone). It also tells you when you are coming up to photo radar(which they word it, "safety camera"). It tells you the best route to avoid traffic jams. I keep my address book in it and highlight the person's name and press call to call that person. It is so much easier doing it that way than doing it through my cell. This thing is cool and so easy to use!!!

From right out of the box, I found this unit to be excetionally easy to use. As a Magellan user since 2005, this is my first experience with Garmin. I found that pairing the 1390t with my Backberry 9630 (Tour) was a simple process. Downloading the free map update from Garmin.com was also simple process. Using the the Garmin Nuvi 1390t for travel is easy. The speaker is a bit tinny in sound however, the hands free phone feature worked flawlessly. I look forward to understanding and utilizing more of this units features over time. It is light and compact. In summary, this GPS unit is just a great value, I highly recommend it for someone who depends on a GPS unit for work and leisure travel.
