HotFix Satellite Prediction
Garmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to three days after the device was last turned off.

MSN Direct Compatible
Add the GDB 55 receiver for MSN Direct. With dynamic content from MSN Direct, you can avoid traffic backups when you travel with your compatible Garmin device.

5 out of 5 stars Great GPS! No complaints.   August 1, 2009

118 out of 120 found this review helpful

Just bought this GPS from Amazon and I'm having no problems with it at all. No sure why others have a problem with the speaker but it sounds fine to me. I bought this to replace my Nuvi 350 and it's a major upgrade. The menus are much nicer and I like the Speed Limit display. I did have a little trouble with the bluetooth. After pairing my iPhone the "Phone" icon disappeared from my GPS. It didn't seem to recognize my iPhone anymore. I went to the Garmin website, downloaded the 2.70 upgraded software for this unit (which has fixes for the speaker and bluetooth), did the pairing again, and now it works fine. I would definitely recommend this unit. Anyone who's having problems should download the latest software for this GPS from the Garmin website.

I purchased this GPS recently. I had used an older Garmin for 2 weeks and I had liked it. I did not have time to do much research on this product but after reading a few reviews, I knew that Garmin is the manufacturer of choice for Aviation GPS(s). Once I knew that, I stpped researching and simply placed the order.

I had to drive from NY to FL a week after placing the order and Amazon replied with an order confirmation email stating that I will be receiveing the GPS device in about 1 month from the time I had placed the order. Panic moment, sepecially as I had specified and payed for 2-day express delivery of the product.

My travel plans were all in the air from the moment I received the Amazon order confirmation email. I quickly sent an email to Amazon Customer Service (at 2-3AM), to ensure they have the item in stock and that they'll ship ASAP. Amazon Customer Service reacted within minutes and was very very efficient in taking care of things. They even excusesed themselved for the automatic email I had received, which had the wrong date. I very much appreciate the Amazon Customer Service. In the past they have heped me just as promptly as they did with this order. Amazon is very much on top of everything!!! Efficient and fast and best! :)

I was able to use the GPS successfully from my very first attempt.
The first time I used it, I drove 1000 mi in 2 days. (It is totally fool proof! or as they call it in marketing "It's very user friendly.")
I also helped a lost trucker find his route with my GPS and I reached destination safely myself. Not one single wrong exit, Garmin GPS gives instructions well head, with sufficient time to react to the instruction at the speed you drive at. It indicates lane change, exits, well before you have to actually do it, thus giving you sufficient time to navigate the immediately surrounding traffic and follow the instructions in a very safe manner.

I have been using the GPS for 2 months now, daily and I absolutely love it. I have used the GPS with a NEON car, which is known for it's loud engine at high speeds. I drove the NEON at 80-90-110 mph and had the GPS volume at 80%. I could hear it loud and clear!

I have no idea what other reviewers are talking about, when they say that they cannot hear the GPS. If the person has a hearing problem and is driving a tractor, then it is possible that they could not hear the GPS voice feature, indeed. But I one could hear it very LOUD AND CLEAR. In the city I am using it at only 50% volume, with music on and it's still very loud.

I like the size. The screen is large enough, yet not too heavy to have in the purse. You can charge it once every 2 days without always needing to have the charging cable with you.

It has a feature that enables you to set AVOIDANCES: for example Highway if you want to drive off the highway at all times.

It includes a calculator, a currency convertor, world clock, etc.

It allows you to zoom in / out and re-center the map by screen-touch, just like you can grab the google maps and move it along the computer screen. You can use your finger and move the map across the screen of the GPS.

It has an ecoRoute feature, which comes with an "eco challenge" feature that measures how smoothly you accelerate / decelerate and it rates you. The smoother you drive, the less fuel you use, and the higher the score you get is. Pretty cool, huh?! :)

After you have saved a few addresses already, it will mark them on the map with relevant icons - a dollar bill for a bank, a tumb tag for an address, a pump for a gass station, etc.

I had it out in the rain for a few moments and the equipment is very well built, nothing happened to it.

There are a few other features, which I haven't got to use yet, but I'm sure it's all useful and practical. I have been driving a lot recently and this GPS was money very well spent. I hope this helps! Happy shopping. :)

This is one great GPS for the price. The unit is so intuitive! So easy to use right out of the box, although I do recommend downloading the actual operating manual from Garmin since this unit does sooooooo much more than listed in the quick start manual found inside the box. This GPS has worked flawlessly since it arrived! My only complaint is I have "not" seen the "Junction View" feature work since I got the 1390t. Thinking my unit was defective I emailed Garmin tech support (which by the way is great) and they told me that the "Junction View" feature will not show every single juction, but only works on large and complicated juctions on various highways. The product description does not say that! Otherwise I love this GPS. I don't understand this either, but Amazon.com seems to have lowered the price of this unit almost daily since I purchased it.


5 out of 5 stars Folks! This GPS unit is indeed very nice   May 24, 2010

I purchased this from BestBuy and I use it primarily on my motorcycle. It has Bluetooth and I have it paired with my helmet speakers. I used the suction mount to mount this onto the plastic display under the handle bar. I display is large enough and you can see it clearly even in direct sun light. I haven't used all of the features yet but from what I am seeing so far, no problems.

My only complaint is that the battery seems to die suddenly without any warning. Sometime the battery icon disappears and sometime it appears. However, as long as I fully charge the battery before starting my trip, the battery lasts for about 3 hours which is enough for most trips.

I like how the charging port is a standard USB port so you can any USB cable to charge this or in my case, I use my USB iGo tip that I use for my phone.

I had a little old Garmin before so this was easy to pick up and use. Powered up and worked fine. Just like my old one, sometimes it finds the satellite fast and sometimes takes longer. I did read you should not start until it finds it, and it can find it easier because you are not moving.

It was missing a McDOnald's that's been there a while. Maybe I used the wrong town. I agree that sometimes it's best to start your route the way YOU KNOW is the best way, and let it take it from there. I figure that if once in a while it takes you the longer way, that's ok because sooner or later you will get there. With NO Gps you might not!

I live in the South Jersey area, near Camden and Philadelphia. I am pleased to report that JUNCTION VIEW is operable here. I knew where I was going this weekend, but wanted to try it out. It's really cool to see an image of the overhead road signs on the gps. If I was unfamiliar with these junctions it would DEFINITELY have helped (they are a little confusing-ex: coming over Ben Franklin Bridge to Vine can be confusing-if you're from Philly you know what I mean!). That is the reason I chose this model over some others.

Haven't found the screen that gives me all my trip info on one screen (miles to, est time of arrival, avg speed, etc) on my old one I just hit one button. I may be missing the obvious here so I'll do some reading. There are some good websites walking you through the whole thing
[..]

Didn't try the lifetime traffic yet...no traffic at 8 am Sunday when I was on the highway! Didn't update map yet, will do that on day 58 or so to get the latest version. I don't think you need lifetime maps. They can't change THAT much and I'll want a new toy in 4 years or so. For now I'll use the roads it knows about and on long distance trips I bring a fairly current Atlas just in case. Sometimes it's nice to see the big picture and maybe toss in an impromptu side trip.

Didn't try bluetooth yet. I don't expect much from it, but it might be nice to have. Overall, good unit.
