Manufacturer's Description

The nüvi 1390 is an ultra-thin, simple-to-use, widescreen sat-nav with mapping for Europe. It has Lane Assist and Junction View for supreme route awareness. It includes Bluetooth® wireless technology for hands-free phone calls, pan-European premium traffic alerts and ecoRoute™ to calculate a more fuel-efficient route. It also comes with Garmin’s unique speed camera warning system to help you drive safely. An optional CityXplorer™ download it will even direct you via public transport (information varies between cities) or give you instructions for walking to your destination so you can use your sat-nav in and out of the car.

Simple navigation

The nüvi 1390 has a clear, intuitive menu so you can just turn it on and go. You simply need to touch the screen to look up addresses and get turn-by-turn directions. It announces street names before you turn so you always know where you are going, for example, “Turn right at Dell Road”.

Lane Assist helps you get into the correct lane in plenty of time which is particularly useful near busy junctions. It illustrates up to nine lanes in the top left-hand corner of the main map screen, with the distance to the exit and which lanes to take. Junction View gives you an accurate preview of the road signs up ahead on the sat-nav screen together with an illustration of any lane changes required.

Traffic Alerts

Not every traffic service is equal. With Garmin you’ll always know what lies ahead. And it’s subscription-free, for life. The nüvi 1390 has pan-European traffic coverage. In the UK this is based on Trafficmaster data, which has extensive coverage of the road network (100% on motorways in England, Scotland and Wales). With traffic alerts from Garmin you’ll always know how long you’ll be held up and you can choose to be routed around the queues, with your sat-nav directing you all the way.

Great on the go – driving, walking or on public transport

The fact that nüvi 1390 is only 15mm thick means you can take it anywhere. Use to its full potential by downloading cityXplorer™ via www.Garmin.co.uk/cityXplorer to navigate like a local. The enhanced pedestrian mode gives you directions for walking including footpaths and shortcuts through parks – places you wouldn’t be accessing while in your car. It also tells you where to catch trains, buses and tubes (dependent on the city), and how long it will take to reach your destination. cityXplorer even has public transport timetables to ensure you arrive at the station on time and help avoid long waits (dependent on the city).

To make the most of your Garmin sat-nav when exploring a new city, whether on a day trip, a holiday or for business, you can also add an optional AA City Guide. It tells you everything you need to know about your chosen city from attractions and places to eat, hotels and shops.

Make hands free phone calls

Keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel with nüvi 1390’s integrated Bluetooth® wireless technology, microphone and speaker. Just pair with your compatible mobile phone and talk hands-free through the nüvi. You can also search for a place of interest on your Garmin nüvi (such as a hotel or restaurant) and call it simply by pressing the telephone icon on your sat-nav’s screen. It means you can stow your phone in your glovebox, bag or pocket and let your sat-nav do the work. To see if your phone is compatible, go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth/phones.

Speed cameras

Garmin has a unique, pan-European speed camera warning system, giving real-time, reliable, and accurate alerts. nüvi 1390 has the location of fixed, average speed, mobile and temporary cameras already built in. New or moved cameras are constantly tracked and the database is updated daily.

Where am I? safety feature

The Where am I? safety feature can be very helpful if you break down or need a certain service urgently. Just tap the car icon on your map screen for your exact coordinates, contact details for vehicle recovery services and directions to hospitals, police and petrol stations.

Anti-Theft feature

You can choose to activate The Garmin Lock™ anti-theft protection system to disable your Garmin sat-nav from performing any functions until a specific 4-digit PIN is typed in or the unit is taken to a predetermined location. Simply enter a 4-digit PIN and select a Security Location.  Write down your PIN and keep it in a safe place.  Each time you turn on the GPS, enter your PIN to unlock the GPS.  If you forget your PIN, you can go to your Security Location. Note: If you forget your PIN, and your Security Location, Garmin cannot unlock your GPS over the phone; you must send your GPS to Garmin to get it unlocked.

Go Green and save fuel

The ecoRoute™ fuel-saver feature enables you to choose a fuel-efficient route which could save you fuel and money. Simply choose the “less fuel” option and nüvi 1390 will calculate the route which will use the least fuel. You can also see the estimated cost of your journey as you plan it and get scored for your driving performance with the Driving Challenge – good for identifying areas for improvement.

Extras for your Garmin

There are lots of extras you can add to your Garmin sat-nav. These include travel guides such as AA Days Out, The Good Pub Guide, historical audio tours and more. You can also have some fun by adding celebrity voices. If you’re a music fan you may want to download the locations festivals in the UK, or if you want to go on a shopping trip the locations of shopping centres.

Customer Reviews

Garmin Nuvi 1390T
I have had the product for 4 weeks and found it to be an amazingly good unit. Navigation is easier than with TomTom and the Traffic warnings are brilliant with excellent diversionary information and re-routing that have kept me moving all of the time.

The unit refused to start 5 days ago and will only recycle off-startup-copywrite screen-loading maps-back to off! It has currently been returned to the supplier for repair/replacement, as soon as possible, I hope as I am literally 'lost' without the traffic information.

I bought a Garmin because they are supposedly 'more reliable' than TomTom! If it had been, I would have awarded all 5 stars and a very strong recommendation to any reader. As it is all I can say is Garmin are letting themselves down, at the moment, in my book! A real shame. (October)

The first unit was replaced and now the new unit cannot acquire or hold sufficient satellites to function as a GPS unit. Garmin Technical support helpful but nothing has so far reinstated satellite navigation (including a software up-date etc)! Where next? Just 2 months with 2 units and results NO NAVIGATION! (November)

Now 1 December!

Just received 3rd 1390 Unit and seems to be working fine; so fingers crossed.

Garmin replaced with new but claimed that the returned unit was "working fine when tested "; but they offered new replacement "for goodwill and without liability." I guess you take it as it comes, if it does the job.

I still expect great things, as it is excellent; when working.

garmin1390t turn off
Have had 1390t for 1 week. Within 15 mins unit turned itself off.Never came back on.During the week its been on off all the time.Most of the time has restarted itself.Had same trouble with 765t, but updated software cured this. Waiting to hear from Garmin.Garmin appear to bring out new units,without doing thorough testing on them.Just not good enough.

Garmin Nuvi 1390 Traffic
Bought it few weeks ago lovely, slim, easy to use product, but had to return it back as it started to turn itself off while I tap on the screen, than I could not turn it back on until some time later, what a shame such lovely unit would have surely kept it but unfortunately happen to be faulty one, I own Garmin Nuvi 660 that also bought from Amazon a good while (over 2yr) ago, still works perfectly
