The
large screen Garmin nuvi 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 nuvi 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.
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
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 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
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 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 nuvi 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 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 nuvi 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.
Slim Down. Take It With You
With
its enhanced pedestrian navigation capabilities and ultra-slim design,
the 1490T is the perfect travel companion for getting around town.
Download optional cityXplorer™ content (coming soon for select cities)
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.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. 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 1490T features Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and
is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom custom voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD™ cards.
