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.

With its enhanced pedestrian navigation capabilities,
nüvi 1490T is
the perfect travel companion for getting around town. Download optional
cityXplorer™
content 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. cityXplorer maps are available for
select cities throughout North America and Europe. And with prices as

Take It With You
Twenty-five percent slimmer than other nüvis, you can
take the
ultra-thin 1490T anywhere. It easily fits in your pocket or purse, and
its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation
by car or foot.
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, nüvi 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

with nüvi 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.
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
voices and vehicles. Enhance your travel experience with optional
plug-in microSD™ cards.
