Garmin Announced Release of New Garmin nuvi 1490T
Garmin just announced release of a new 5 inch widescreen GPS unit – the Garmin nuvi 1490T. It comes hot on the heels of the recently unveiled 1200 and 1300 series. With a suggested list price of $499.99, this GPS navigator definitely belongs among the high-end models. Garmin says that it will come with lifetime traffic alerts, lane assist / junction view and Bluetooth.
It also has something not found on the 1200 and 1300 models – Multi-Destination routing.
The nuvi 1490T will also be 25% thinner than most current generation nuvis and offer pedestrian-friendly features and the ability to use optional CityXplorer™ maps.
This unit is expected to be available in July of 2009.
