Garmin 1490 always starts rebooting at the same spot. Garmin has replaced the unit 4 times but Garmin support has no idea how to fix the problem or what to do next.
Garmin just released a software update that fixes this. Release date was Jan 4th, 2012. Software version 4.80. I downloaded it yesterday and it seems to have fixed the rebooting issue.
Any idea what the fix is or was? My 1450 just started doing this only when it's routing though. When you are not routing to a destination, it operates just fine.............grrrrrrr
it was weird. I tried to type "San diego" in the CITY field and it did not even recognize it in its database! I did this at Best Buy demo mode. Also tried it on the 3790. It must hate San Diego
should you be more focused on driving than holding a camera and fiddling with a GPS? I wouldn't be too happy if you smacked into the back of my car on the freeway
Is anyone else having problems with the 1490 Favourites folders? Creating a subfolder is not working (that is, when you want to group all your friends addresses, it wouldn't let you).
I still own a nuvi 260w and it always lets me create subfolder on the Favourites.
So this is the 4th unit they have sent you? They want me to pay shipping back to them for a known recall issue. How much money have you spent trying to get a decent unit, and obviously still have a bad one?
