 Great GPS unit. July 27, 2010
D. Harry
This is my 2nd Garmin unit, my previous one was a Nuvi 350 which served me for a few years before the screen went out.
I guess it is easier to just list the features it has and what i thought about it.
Design: The 1390T is a pretty slim device, black in color, definetly pocketable. it has a small MiniUSB port on the back. On my previus unit it was on the side, which I think is better because at least for me I don't use a window mount (Illegal in CA), I place it right over my RPM gauge.
Lane assist: I think lane assist is the units most powerful feature. It tells you EXACTLY what lane to be in via a series of arrows at the top left of the screen. Say you are on a 4 lane highway and need to go to another freeway. If you need to be in the #2 lane the 2nd arrow will be lit up and the rest grey.
Bluetooth: It was pretty easy to pair my phone, but I couldn't make calls, everything was like it was going in slow motion. I will try again later. I was surprised it had Bluetooth I didn't even realize this when I bought it.
Screen: The touchscreen is pretty wonky, I am not sure if it is capacitive or passive, but inputting addresses and the like takes too long sometimes. If you press on the virtual qwerty keyboard sometimes the screen does register your presses and sometimes it does not. It is a guessing game, fortunately I don't have to enter too many, I imported my address book over from the 350.
Built in software: I miss the Mp3 player on my nuvi 350, fortunately this has a picture viewer.
The software product I really like is the Eco Challenge. It can only be activated when you are on a route. Basically Eco Challenge takes down your car information, like your MPG rating and price of fuel, and then uses the 1390T's built in sensors to measure how your speed, braking and acceleration are over time. if you have ever looked at the Ford Fusions dashboard, it is pretty similar. You have a graphical representation of a leaf, and the leaf changes color on how efficiently you are driving. Red is poor, yellow is ok and green is good. For my car, about 40-65 is in the good range. When you are stopped at a light or in traffic it goes red. There is a little number next to it that gives you a notice on how you are driving. These are displayed on the map if you want them to unobtrusively on the right of your screen. But you can make this full screen, with a graph of how you are doing, plus your average for the day of braking, acceleration and speed.
traffic: I haven't had a chance to use the traffic feature at all. a caveat: it says that the traffic receiver is integrated, it is not. It is included but only active when you have the car charger activated. My car charger does not work, I charge it in the car over USB (also it will not function when charging via USB) so I can't use it. They really should not say integrated when it isn't and I don't see why not the actual traffic receiver isn't much bigger than a large pack of gum.
What's in the box: No wall charger in this, you get the traffic receiver/car charger, a mount (C-Clamp style, not the kind that actually clips to something on the unit) and the manuals.
 Bad Garmin ! July 26, 2010

Great Alternative to the Famed 765t July 22, 2010
C. Benson (Congested, CO USA)
I've had the unit for about 2 months now and I've taken it on several trips already (Detroit and U.P. in Michigan). I spent nearly a year on deciding on which GPS to get and it boiled down to 1) Had to be a Garmin (customer service appears to be superior and the layout is more user-friendly) 2) Was having auto-sort of multiple destinations that important (1 feature the 765t has that appears to be relevant)? 3) Was multi-media that important on a GPS unit when I already have an Ipod?
Pros: smaller, lighter, less expensive
Cons: Missing Auto-Sort of Multiple Destinations
I think I've answered those questions in the last few months...
1) I've used a Tom Tom rather extensively over the last year and it was not reliable in terms of accuracy and ease of use, it's not really a good comparison. Tom Tom does a fine job but to me it's like comparing a Toyota to a Lexus.
2) One of my trips this summer (Michigan's U.P.) did require multiple stops (different cities, attractions, etc.) and it was somewhat time-consuming/pain-staking to enter in each new city/attraction after you had just left one. For this reason I would say that that feature is worth exploring the 765t (key word: explore).
3) Absolutely no need for multi-media functions on the GPS, can't really touch an Ipod.
So...in conclusion, if you think you absolutely need auto-sort multiple destinations then shell out the extra bucks for the 765t but if not then this is a GREAT choice.
P.S. At the time of this review (7/22/2010) the 765t was on sale at Amazon for $255, I purchased my 1390t for $165 including shipping.
Garmin Nuvi 1390T GPS July 21, 2010
bradley1
After a day worth's of test in my local area, I really liked the features and ease of use, ....... BUT it died on me while I was driving across the city on a test run!! Called Garmin Product Support and after 1/2 hr wait, they basically said it was a known 1300 series problem and I should return it for and ask for a replacement!! The also sent me a S/W fix for the next one and said I should install the 'fix' before using the replacement.
WHY didn't Garmin put a notice in all new 1300 series devices and tell customers to contact Garmin PRIOR to using it????
If you buy one of these, I HIGHLY recommend you contact Garmin Product Support and request the S/W update BEFORE ya use it!! A word to the wise!!
And BTW Garmin, there are alot of unemployed people and there is NO reason to wait 30 minutes for a 'real human bean' to talk to!! Hire some help!!
EDIT: After getting my second Garmin 1390T and updating all the recommended software, yesterday, I took my Garmin 1390T for a test spin and it worked very well.
It took me on the route that any sane person would take if it knew the area, all except one,.... I thought.
Going to a place of business, I would have stayed on the road I was on and make a U-Turn at the traffic light just like everyone does and drive to the business. My Garmin took me several blocks off my planned course but did get me there. However, where I'd do a U-turn, signs for several years now don't permit U-turns. There is no sign that prohibits U-turns, but the arrows now clearly say they are not allowed. So .... after thinking it all out, the Garmin DID take me on the shortest route that is permitted by traffic signs.
Bottom line, I have confidence that it will do the same in any city that I don't know that well.
Does the job but lacks the sophistication of other models. July 21, 2010
Larry Sederstrom
I purchased this as a replacement for a Garmin Nuvi 760. I travel extensively and the 760's cord plugs into the cradle. I have gone through 3 cradles in the past 18 months as the connection between the cord and the cradle becomes loose and then it won't run off the car battery. I got frustrated with buying new cradle's and chose to buy a newer model where the cord actually plugs into the unit. The 1390t does the job of getting you from point A to point B and it adds a couple of nice touches in the lane assist and the ability to see your speed and the speed limit at the same time. However, it lacks the sophistication of the 760. The voice on the 1390t sounds like it is coming out of a tin can and you can have multiple voices on the 760. The 760 can hold my entire phone book from my blackberry which makes the bluetooth easier to use.
