Garmin has introduced a sleek PNA
The nüvi 1490T is approximately 25% thinner than previous nüvi models.
Of course, the device with a 5-inch touch-sensitive display still runs the company's own software, which, even if it doesn't compete with iGO 8 in its complexity, does its job perfectly. Extras in the program include the ability to alert security cameras, but the management of multi-lane routes and the ecoRoute service, which is responsible for planning the most fuel-efficient route, are also part of the system. Another notable feature is the hands-free operation of a mobile phone via a Bluetooth connection: the device is not only suitable for receiving incoming calls, but also for storing and managing the phonebook.
The nüvi 1490T is scheduled to hit store shelves as early as July this year, at a suggested retail price of roughly $ 500.
