@aquafitter Mine usually picks it up within 5 seconds if you turn the wrong direction. Sometimes it takes a bit longer if you have taken the wrong exit on a motorway (because you're often still pretty close to the correct route).
Some comparisons to my nuvi 660: the 1390 seems to have a more sensitive touch screen and quicker response. Also, the 660 requires the car charger to attach to the ball mount, which I usually forget at home, making it impossible to charge (my wife doesn't like it when I mount the 660 on the window).
Nice quick mounting in the car, good job, one handed even.
Thanks for your help now i know how to use my gps i did not know i just got i today. and when u know how to use it its fun thing to play around and find different adress.
What happens if you go in a tunnel? I was thinking about getting this to replace my Navigon since they dont do the U.S. market anymore and when you go in a tunnel you still move at the same speed as when you went in until you regain your signal.
First time I've ever heard of going to 135 Central Park West by way of the George Washington Bridge. Methinks, these directions should be made much clearer to the viewer/reader.
Very good review, helped me out in picking this garmin 1390t GPS. You did a great job on the video as it looks very professional. I bought my 1390t at Autonavdirect and got it with lifetime maps bundle package.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think only the 8xx series nuvi support voice commands with the steering wheel mounted button and they haven't released anything new in the 8xx line lately.
So I downloaded the City Xplorer for New York and it isn't that impressive. It did not tell me which subway or bus to take to the destination. Same with the Boston version as well. It just says get on the train and get off at a intersection.

When you make an error in judgement and turn incorrectly, does the Garmin 1390 pick it up right away
and direct you to your destination?
