Garmin nuvi 1390T Wide-Screen Bluetooth GPS Navigation System with Lifetime Traffic
Details
You
won't believe how the Garmin
nüvi 1390T can
fit so many
amazing features into such a slim package. Ultra thin and jam-packed
with features like lane assist with junction view, free traffic alerts,
hands-free calling, preloaded maps of everywhere you'd ever want to go
in North America and ecoRoute which tells you the most fuel-efficient
route, the nüvi
1390T is
the only navigator you'll ever need.
The Garmin
1390T is
just one of many popular Garmin GPS
models!
Trim
the Fat - Slim Down Bulky Units
The 1200 and 1300 nuvi series models are 25% slimmer than other nuvis,
making them an ideal (and essential) traveling companion. This Garmin
nüvi is
slim enough to tote in your purse or even your pocket.
Don't worry about its battery running out - the rechargeable
lithium-ion battery lets you carry it in your vehicle or on foot. Tired
of getting lost in the certain big cities? Hard to navigate public
transportation like subways, buses, trams and more? Be sure to download
the optional CityXplorer content (it's coming soon) and utilize the new
Public Transit mode.
Banish
Turn Anxiety - Know the Right Lane Ahead of Time
Ever had to guess which lane you should be in when you know you're
going to have to make a turn? You'll never have to again! The 1390T's
Lane
Assist feature takes the guesswork out of figuring out which lane
you'll need to be in. Confusing intersections and exits will be easy to
navigate with junction view guiding your lane choices and showing you
road signs and junctions on your journey with arrows clearly marking
which lane you should be in.
The
Big Picture
The Garmin
1390T gives
you directions on its 4.3 inch easy-to-read
display. With brilliant and stunning color images, you'll even be able
to read the screen in bright sunlight.
Two
Questions - One Clear Answer
The Garmin
nüvi interface
gives you two options:
“Where to?” and “View Map.” Tap
the touchscreen to put in your destination or service and you'll get
clear turn-by-turn directions that tell you exactly where to go. The
navigator is already packed with US and Canada City Navigator NT street
maps, roughly 6 million points of interest (POIs), your choice of 2-D
or 3-D maps and even the speed limit for main roads. Have other POIs
that aren't well-known? Upload your favorite places that are few and
far between. Know the terrain around where you're going by zooming in
to the digital elevation maps. Slide your finger and easily scroll
between screens. It's also equipped with HotFix satellite prediction,
which determines where you are faster, taking you there quicker than
you ever thought possible.
Keep
Your Eyes On the Road with Hands-free Calls
Combining bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and
speaker to keep your calls hands-free, this device will help keep you
safe! Just hook it up with your compatible Bluetooth phone. Need to
make a call? Tap the numbers on the touchscreen. Incoming call? Tap the
screen and speak towards the microphone. Don't forget to take advantage
of one-touch dialing for people and places you plug in.
Never
Get Caught In Traffic Again
The nüvi
1390T comes
with free lifetime traffic updates and an
FM traffic receiver so you can avoid traffic delays. You'll get the
latest traffic delays and road construction alerts so you can plan your
route ahead of time. Not sure of a good detour? Touch the screen to
hear details of the alert and it'll show you the best way around the
congested area.
Navigation
– To The Next Level
The 1390T
isn't
just any old navigator. Use its ecoRoute feature to
save gas and money. It'll show you the most fuel-efficient route and
track how much fuel your vehicle uses. On top of that, it comes with a
JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency
converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. Use photo
navigation to download images from Garmin Connect Photos and easily get
to them. Manage to get lost in a new place or have an emergency? Use
the emergency “Where Am I?” locator to figure out
exactly where you are. Just tap the touchscreen and you'll get your
coordinates, the nearest address and intersection as well as the exact
location of the nearest hospitals, police and gas stations. It also
comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft device and works with the free
Garmin Garage – download custom vehicles and voices. Take
your navigator even farther with optional plug-in microSD cards.
