I cannot believe the bad reviews for this satnav. Garmin make a great satnav and they are really well made. My 1390T is a 1390 LMT which comes with free lifetime maps and free FM traffic info. I have used Navman satnavs before and gave up using them because of all the hassle downloading maps and their non-existent support.

It is unbeliveable just how bad this navigation is.I had a tomtom before but I wanted to try this and I cannot belive that this navigation is actually sold.One example-preparing your journey at home(no gps signall).Tomtom-go to menu-navigation-navigate from A to B.Done.Garmin- go to menu, go to settings, go to satelites, choose satelite simulation ON. Huh? Then go to map, find the start location, choose "set position" and then you can continue.There is NO manual atatched to this navigation,... (read more)
