Pros:
Very easy to read. Quick to recalculate route.
Cons:
Very slow to pick up satellite during initial set-up. After driving with a destination inserted (as suggested), it "learned" and has been quick to load ever since.

Comment about Garmin nuvi 1490T Automobile Navigator
This is a great GPS that is intuitive to use and has a large bright screen. Just purchased for a major trip through the NE US and Canada. On frist leg of the trip it gave great routing and accurate locations. Route timing on secondary roads updated nicely, but initial estimate was not accurate. Be sure to get mapsource on your PC to adjust and update routes on the GPS. Information on the net to get the program. Also be sure to get your free map update within the time allowed. My mapsource didn't work correctly until I downloaded the map update. Future map updates will cost $$. The only issue I have with the unit is that when you go through the menu to use other functions there is no instant return to the point you started from or the main menu. You have to step back through every screen which is a pain.
