Reviewed by Cyndee from AZ on 05/13/2010 10:44 am
I purchased my garmin nuvi 1390, because I am the worlds worst at getting my self lost. Not showing up on time because I lost my directions or construction or something else. To be quite honest the Garmin is a wonderful product type the address or the name of a place and it appears and guides me to my destination. Thank you for such a wonderful product. It is like my own genie in a bottle gets me where I want to go.

765T has slight edge over 1390T
Reviewed by Mary from IL on 05/13/2010 10:42 am
Very good GPS. Easy to use. Have no problem with speaker loudness. 50% was loud enough to hear it with radio on. But 765T has better receiver and power cord connected to the mount so you can take it easily and automatically remembered it position when remover from the stand. Finally I've got 765 but it was close race.

Garmin 1390t
Reviewed by Carlos from NA on 05/13/2010 10:41 am
I have had the Garmin Nuvi 1390t now for two days. So far so good, no problems. However the fist time in a new location if turned on, the device take a while to locate all the GPS satellites, after that no problem. There have been some complaints on this device regarding the audio output (how loud or lack of). I have not had any problems, I keep the audio on 80% and seams loud enough for me....comparable to the Garmin Nuvi 760 I had. It's a good unit and would buy it again. I give it 4.5 stars

A Few Design Flaws Keep It From Five Stars
Reviewed by Scott V from Ohio on 05/13/2010 10:35 am
The overall performance of this unit is excellent. The visual and audible prompts leave no room for interpretation: you are given the information you need when you need it.
Pros: Lighting fast recalculations. Real-time current speed acts like a head-up display. Shows you the speed limit of the road you are on.
Cons: When battery drains, display brightness defaults to 1%, even when the power cord is plugged in, making it very difficult to see the screen to re-adjust brightness back to a usable level. Manual must be downloaded, and has numerous incorrect references to itself (see page x for info, and the info is not on page x). Lane Assist function is not nearly as detailed as the advertisement shows.
Overall this is a vast improvement over our Nuvi 750.

Nice, Slim, Quality GPS
Reviewed by NKC from MO on 05/13/2010 10:34 am
Having used a factory installed in dash GPS system from what I consider one of thr leading systems for 3 years in my previous car, I have high expectations of a GPS system, and the 1390t lives up to almost all of them.
PROS:
-Slim Design - nice when traveling and need to carry for use in a rental car
-Free traffic - accurate traffic. In my metro area (Kansas City), traffic reception is strong and has been more current than the local radio DJ. And since the traffic service is funded by ads (non obtrusive, small and only display when not moving) beats other subscription traffic services hands down. (note the color stripe indicating traffic flow only show if a problem, a green stripe will not show along side route if no traffic issues as I originally thought).
-Strong satellite reception. Quickly finds satellites when powering up
-Map view zoom level. When in 3d view the zoom level auto adjusts when moving from a major interstate (broader zoom) to city streets (zooms in automatically to show more street details)
-Junction View - very nice view. Is limited (expect to only see when routing on major interstate intersections from my experience). If this is the only deciding point not sure its worth the extra $$ however.
-Lane Assist - tends to be presented at more locations than junction view and gives an early notification which lanes you need to be in for upcoming turn or merger.
-Bluetooth handsfree support (uses the speaker in the GPS)
Cons (why not 5 stars)
-Power cored plugs directly into unit (not mount) so if removing from windshield, must also remove cored connection (or take the cord with the unit)
-location of plug on unit. It is on the bottom back corner and goes down, so forces the unit to be about 1/5" higher off the dash rather than mounted right down next to the dash.
I have had no software issues as some reviews mentioned. I made sure I updated the firmware once I received it and have seen no issues to date.
Update - Speaker - I have had no speaker issues and sound is loud and clear. I drive a truck so plenty of road noise in cab and can still hear fine without volume at 100%.

Absolutely love it!,
Reviewed by CJ from NY on 05/13/2010 10:32 am
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 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. :)

Great GPS! No complaints
Reviewed by DD from NC on 05/13/2010 10:29 am
Just bought this GPS from here 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.
