Garmin International Inc. recently introduced its latest GPS device called nuvi 1490T that features 5-inch Touch Sensitive Technology and multiple navigation tools that will provide road mapping details that will help travelers to easily locate their destinations.
The nuvi 1490T’s main focal point is its sleek design, which is about 25 percent slimmer than its predecessors. The ultra-thin design is perfect for people who want smaller but more efficient GPS device inside their cars. The design is also a good travel companion for people who love strolling around on foot.
Another impressive feature of the GPS device is the 5-inch touch-screen LCD which provides convenient viewing experience for its users. Meanwhile, the 5-inch LCD also gives drivers a clearer view of the directions so they won’t need to take their eyes off the road.
Another amazing feature of the device is its route planning capability, which can save up to 10 different routes all at once. This feature also allows the gadget to display road signs, street directions, and arrows pointing to the proper lane.
The “multiple-point” routing capability of the new nuvi 1490T is the most efficient innovation in the GPS category. The feature will take care of all the calculation to provide users the most cost efficient and fastest route between multiple points.
Users do not have to worry about different time zones as the gadget automatically adjusts the time once travelers crossed the borders. It also has a built-in speed limit indicator giving users real-time display of speed limits in every major highway in the map.
Meanwhile, the best feature of the new nuvi 1490T is the built-in traffic receiver that gives users real-time updates of traffic situation on every road to their destination. (NAVTEQ and Garmin’s ecoRoute will provide the free lifetime traffic alert.) However, this feature is only available in selected coverage points. The ecoRoute, on the other hand, will give users options and suggestion on what points to take for a more fuel efficient travel.
