Why upgrade?
I drive a dump truck and need to know the city streets very well and find some streets that have just been finished and have no trouble finding the right street for the travel of the truck to deliver the load or take a load away.
Garmin nüvi 1490T 5" Bluetooth GPS with ecoRoute HD and Lifetime Traffic Updates Avoid the traffic and enjoy the ride with the ultra-thin Garmin nüvi 1490T at the helm. This slim navigator features traffic alerts, lane assistance with junction view, Bluetooth hands-free calling, regional mapping, spoken street names, pedestrian navigation options and multiple route modes to get you there any way you choose! Plus, you also receive ecoRoute HD. This adapter easily fits into your vehicle to provide instant and accurate engine diagnosis as well as performance data and fuel consumption displayed right on your nüvi. It not only gives you peace of mind while traveling, but it's a great way to save money too.
