The Garmin nuvi 1490T can plan up to 10 routes complete with simulation and sorting abilities. There are turn-by-turn directions that speak the names of the streets thanks to the Text-to-Speech technology allowing you to concentrate on the road. Maps can be viewed in 2-D or 3-D mode on the 5” screen and the zoom levels look just as good with elevation maps noticeable on higher zoom levels. The HotFix satellite prediction feature makes it even more convenient by accurately calculating your current position and constantly updating it as you move.
