Review on Garmin nüvi 1390LMT 4.3-Inch Portable 🗺️ Bluetooth GPS Navigator: Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates by Andrew Mclemore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Touch sensitivity is terrible

I've had 3 nuvi before, 350 and 360 so I know Garmin but the touch sensitivity of this one annoyed me to no end. My wife said the other day that if I hadn't spent so much money on it she would have thrown it on the floor and smashed it to bits, pretty harsh words from a gentle lady like Clark Kent. Luckily I'm returning it to Revain for a full refund, don't know what I'll do next but it may have forced me to use my smartphone all the time. I really wish the extra dash was separate from the phone but boy does the phone work MUCH better. In fact, I found myself using my phone to look up addresses and then entering them into Garmin. why annoy Just use your phone with a headset and enjoy. That being said, I love the features, especially the lane markers, a huge improvement over my old devices. PS - Yes, I've recalibrated the device several times and spent almost an hour on the Garmin support phone reinstalling software, factory resetting the device, etc. Maybe I got a bad device, I don't know, but I am I won't find out because despite all the good reviews I don't "believe".

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • disappears

If you don't have an installed NAV system, GARMIN is the way to go.
