Comment: Take Garmin's excellent 1390T GPS unit, add a large, 5in display and you end up with the nuvi 1490T — a bigger version of Garmin's former flagship nuvi device.

Comment: Garmin er en av et stadig synkende antall produsenter som fortsatt tilbyr portable navigasjonsenheter (PND) i Norge. De er også blant de aller største. Selskapet har giret noe ned på utviklingsfronten, og prioriterer å oppgradere og forbedre, fremfor å...

Good: Stor og god skjerm. Presis og rask beregning. Rask omregning ved avvik. Enkle og oversiktlige menyer.

Bad: Kunne vist mer informasjon på skjermen.

Comment: The Garmin nüvi 1490T is almost identical to the Garmin nüvi 1390T that we’ve already tested. We did test it and analyse it nevertheless so as to isolate any differences there may be between them. Our findings and photos below. Otherwise, the 1390T tes...
