Garmin makes excellent GPS units. They all do pretty much the same thing but this one stands out for two reasons: 1) Lifetime maps. You never have to pay to get the latest version of the maps. Forever. Great deal. 2) This GPS actually shows you the highway signs you will be encountering in the next segment of your trip. It is weird but very useful to see a schematic of the same sign you are seeing in real life but this assists you in knowing which road to take or even if you are on the right road. Plus, on eBay these GPS units are really cheap! I know everyone has a GPS on their phone but without a phone you are stuck. I like having a unit devoted only to one thing that can operate separate from my phone.

Likes, easy to read screen, Free Lifetime Maps and Traffic, good sensitivity of touch screen, compact design, easy updating on Garmin Website, the picture viewer. Dislikes, The window suction mount is hard to grasp with the GPS attached, the thick reciever that is built into the power cord that is used for traffic updates, the speakers sound is lousy, hard to understand what it is saying (cheap speaker), lack of Bluetooth technology that can connect to the car audio system to bypass the cheap speaker in the GPS unit, lack of being able to input phone numbers under favorites, cannot find POI for any city other than the city you are currently in. Unit appears to be built sturdy enough, I still like it despite all of the dislikes, I give it 3.5 out of 5 score.
After the 1390LMT was lost in shipment the seller offered a 1350LMT, from what I can tell the only difference is the lack of Bluetooth; no problem as I likely would not have used this feature. So, the Garmin Nuvi 1350LMT is what I received. I have been a Garmin GPS owner for some time and wanted to upgrade my 350 Nuvi with a better map set. When I started looking at the options, it seemed like the best deal would be to replace my old unit with a newer one that included Lifetime Maps. Having used the 1350 on a recent road trip, I am favorable impressed with its performance and many features that my old unit lacked. I especially like the lane assist. And, while I have yet to try it out, I think the pedestrian feature will be an asset when visiting new cities and using public transportation.Read full review
To those people who don't use separate gps units since there smartphone has it installed just remember your phone is using google maps which are great but what happens when you don't get cell service in those mountain areas or low areas where signal just drops ,these units use satellite which for the most part I always keep mine handy just for the signal reason since I travel a lot plus this unit gives you free lifetime maps which is what ltm stands for just register with Garmin plug into pc and update when it needs to also use at least an 8gb or larger sd chip for maximum space for maps updates pictures etc .Plus this unit is Bluetooth which you can sync your cellphone with overall excellent unit !!
