Garmin Nuvi 3490LMT 4.3" Sat Nav with Europe Maps, Lifetime Map Updates & Traffic Alerts and Bluetooth Reviews
| 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful  This is the way forward, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 3490LMT 4.3" Sat Nav with Europe Maps, Lifetime Map Updates & Traffic Alerts and Bluetooth (Electronics) This neat little Sat-Nav unit arrived in a very tiny package. It contained the actual Sat-Nav unit which is thinner than my iPhone, the combined power adapter/traffic receiver, screen suction mount and self-adhesive disc for dashboard mount. Also included were quick start instructions.Installation was fairly quick, and consisted of connecting the device to my PC and downloading the latest maps. At this time the software on the device was also updated. I have a fast connection and the total setup time was around an hour. The unit was easily fitted to my vehicle. I tucked the antenna cable in the crevice between screen and dashboard and dispensed with the small rubber suckers. In use the screen is very bright and clear and responds well to touch. The onscreen keyboard is a good layout and has no lag. Easy to find my destination and the unit is well populated with points of interest, The mapping is clear and updates very quickly as you drive. There is a choice of voices...

It was a toss up between the 3590 LMT and the 3490 LMT ... the only difference seemed to be that the 3490 was slimmer and lighter and the rrp was �10 less. I am more than satisfied with the 3490 - it has lifetime travel and map updates (I bought Lifetime updates for the Nuvi 200), lane assist and bird's eye views on roundabouts (brilliant!)and you can sync it with your smart phone to use as hands free. The spoken directions are clear and it gives road names. The 'voice command' setting is a 'must have'! Tell it an address and it finds it, ask it to phone a contact/number and it does. And if you can't find where you have parked your car it will lead you to it ... provided you haven't left it in the glove box!! Overall I am really impressed with it. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Good, By This review is from: Garmin Nuvi 3490LMT 4.3" Sat Nav with Europe Maps, Lifetime Map Updates & Traffic Alerts and Bluetooth (Electronics) This is my 1st Garmin satnav. I have owned a Navman and my last satnav was a Snooper Syrius snp-500. The nuvi 3490 is a great piece of kit . It logs on to satellites within a second even in the house. I find it easy to connect it to its cradle on the windscreen. Also it's very fast to calculate routes it's great to see the speed limit for the road you are on displayed on the 3490. The 3490 is very thin lightweight with a glass screen. It looks and feels a very well made product. It has an internal 4 hour battery. I find it easy to use with voice commands. It's also nice that Garmin has a free phone number in the UK for tech support.I found it easy to add POI with Garmin POI up loader software but if you have subscribed to Garmin safety camera software and you delete any POI you have to re upload the safety camera data again. It's easy to find free POI on the web - don't pay for them I have not found out how the traffic system works yet and I have still... Read more |
