It's
easy to see where you're going on the Garmin nuvi 1490T's
5" touchscreen
display. View map detail, driving directions, photos and
more in bright, brilliant color. With its large screen, you'll

Plan Ahead
The Garmin nuvi 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 wide screen. In addition, Garmin nuvi 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
nuvi 1490T's intuitive interface greets you with two simple
questions: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch
the colour screen to easily look up addresses and services
and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak
street names to your destination. The Garmin nuvi 1490T 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 (DEM) show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels,
giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. With
the nuvi 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, your Garmin nuvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
Make Hands-free Calls
For hands-free calling, the 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 nuvi'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
the 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 the nuvi's screen to view traffic
details or detour around the problem area.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. The Garmin nuvi 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 Garmin's free Garmin Garage where you can download custom custom voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD cards.
