Who needs stinking manuals - Being a guy, I cannot bother to read all the books until much later. Got it straight out of the box, lit it and used it to travel to and immediately compare them side by side with my old GPS. I joined a landing about 160 miles away with highways in Texas, and several secondary roads, more towns, so I went straight from the mailbox, wash the car before leaving the city and the press on the northern highway FT. Hood San Antonio, TX.

Garmin Nuvi 1490 , Garmin nuvi 1490T, I realized quickly tried (like my old GPS, Route I) with about 20 minutes, you could get mph a highway with a speed of 60-70, instead of just the roads of the United States.

Directions Audio - The audio quality is high enough in my opinion. Computers are female voice, the default setting of 80% added volume slightly above the noise of the street, even in the rain while driving.

Hands-free calling, I understood how to connect my phone to Garmin Nuvi 1490T in conjunction with fairly simple, with the PIN 1234 I've been through and asks him to send, primarily as president, but found that Garmin Nuvi 1490T actually took my phone I could from there, rather than call. But he was not 100% from the library. For some reason he has no phone 500 # 's, and he skipped the cell number from my wife. (not good). Audio has been reported to both callers at the other end, some say I found street noise may be said that I sounded in a forum, but very readable, even if the roads were background noise. Do not try the speakers in the car in the rain, too much noise on the streets in the rain-proof, etc.

Traffic - I do not know how it works, but the trust, such as San Antonio, TX (where I was staying) on the list of cities covered. But while I was northbound on IH-35 from Austin, TX, suddenly a voice came out of nowhere to say, "severe shortages ahead calculate route." It was about 35 miles from overload! She took me in the congestion zone, so I'm not in the majority. I would have confidence in the past, and I would jump on the highway near the last mile instead. For me it was magical, I'm not sure how it fitted (FM transmitter / receiver in the cable) is working with respect, as they receive their marketing messages in real time, but it worked.

Warnings Changing Lanes - The visual guide to the lane change was more a "Hey, there are two paths to the right before turning left straight lane, and so sound was very clear to say:" Keep to the left of ... "Or consider leaving" the right and left / right, etc. "Very timely warnings, and I've never missed a turn, if you are using on this trip.

Screen Display - Easy to read! That gives me the message to local speed limits when driving on motorways was only 5 mph for a short stretch of Texas Highway 195 (speed was actually 60 instead of 65). Found that some glare when the sun reaches the screen from behind or the side of anti-glare screen that I see on my digital camera, if it helps the future.

Cons: Where to receive text messages that say "unknown" and will call on the screen, despite pressing the "ignore" or "reply". Have noticed a few times to pop-up screen (if the Bluetooth function) is boring because it does not disappear immediately, but the GPS directions, I sound, I do not even see the card. I think the game with this "problem" and get Garmin technical support if I can not solve themselves.

Recommended - Yes, I can highly recommend this model for all who want a easy to read, easy to dispense precise GPS for their car. It appears that management functions can be integrated with additional cards will be purchased (very cheaply from Metro Area), but I use in my minivan.
