the Garmin 1490LMT be simply a horrible gp unit . the only good thing about it be the large screen , but even it can look bad when view at much of a angle . it will not pair with my Bluetooth phone , as claim . the speech synthesizer sound like something from 1980 . horrible and annoying . in my brief usage around town , I find it have street name wrong . even with map detail set to maximum , it often do not show many street unless you turn onto they . even major exit ramp do not appear ! meanwhile , it will show `` road '' that be essentially just driveway . it often give extremely little advance notice of turn . so little that you have no time to slow down to make the turn . the map display be miserable . in map view -lrb- straight down 2d view -rrb- , the road can look so wide that they overlap each other -lrb- if it bother to show they at all -rrb- . in 3d mode , the perspective be very misleading and unrealistic . then there be the repeat annoyance of just turn it on . every single time it have a warning that you have to click on -lrb- or wait for a while to go away on its own -rrb- . then it go back to the main menu . so , you stop at a gas station and get back in the car a few minute later . yes , you have to click the warning . then it do not take you to where you leave off . it go back to the main menu ! what the heck ?! my ancient Mio be so much better than this unit be every single way except screen size . this Garmin be go back , today .
