Nuvi 1490T Provides the Big Picture

Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, today announced the Garmin 1490T – a premium automotive GPS device with a large, 5-inch touchscreen and sleek body style that is 25-percent slimmer than most nüvi models. This large screen, ultra-thin navigator is ideal for those wanting to take advantage of Garmin’s newest navigation features like free, lifetime traffic alerts and lane assist with junction view that gives added confidence when driving roads with complicated intersection and turns.

“The Garmin 1490T is designed to give drivers a big picture of the route ahead, while offering every-day conveniences customers want and need to take the worry out of traveling,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “With its enhanced pedestrian navigation capabilities and ultra-thin design, it’s also a perfect companion for travelers in unfamiliar territory who want to explore the city on foot or with public transportation.”

The Garmin 1490T gives clear guidance on the 5-inch touchscreen that details upcoming turns and specific driving directions, including road sign detail and arrows indicating the proper lane for navigation. With the Garmin 1490T, route planning is straightforward because the device will save 10 routes. The multiple-point routing feature makes running errands more efficient because the nüvi will calculate the most efficient route between multiple stops. For trips across the country, drivers will benefit from the automatic time zone transition feature that automatically sets the unit to the correct time zone. In addition, a speed limit indicator displays speed limits for most major roads.

For the ultimate in convenience, the Garmin 1490T also makes it easy for drivers to steer clear of traffic accidents, road closures and construction. An integrated traffic receiver comes standard with the Garmin 1490T and gives free, lifetime traffic alerts without a subscription fee. The free lifetime traffic alerts are from NAVTEQ Traffic and are available in select coverage areas. Lifetime traffic alerts extend for the useful life of the nüvi unit or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier.

To help drivers make their gas tanks go the extra mile, the Garmin 1490T comes standard with ecoRoute™ that suggests fuel-efficient navigation. In addition to “faster time” and “shorter distance” for route preference, ecoRoute lets nüvi users choose “less fuel” as the best way to save gas and money. Through ecoRoute’s Fuel Report and Mileage Report, drivers can focus on their fuel conservation and find fuel-saving tips along the way.

In addition, the Garmin 1490T also has Bluetooth® Wireless Technology that makes it possible to receive and place phone calls directly from the nuvi. The nüvi supports over 200 Bluetooth enabled phones, and drivers can retrieve and dial numbers using a supported phone’s contact list, the phone’s call history log, or the nüvi’s preloaded points of interest database.

The ultra-thin Nuvi 1490T also offers enhanced pedestrian navigation capability with optional CityXplorer™ maps. Available for select tourist destinations in both North America and Europe, CityXplorer maps can easily be downloaded directly to the nüvi. With CityXplorer, users will make the most of their journey by planning and using routes that include public transit options such as bus and metro rail stations. Content from CityXplorer varies in cost from $9.99 - $14.99, depending on the city. A list of cities offered in North America and Europe will be available at www.garmin.com.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Garmin 1490T is $499.99, and it is expected to be available in July of 2009. Additional information is available at Garmin 1490T Store

Black Friday Shopping Online

If you have ever shopped for Christmas presents, you have surely heard of Black Friday. It is the fourth Friday of November, the day right after Thanksgiving. It is the busiest shopping day of the year, and the crowds definitely show it. There is a way to get your shopping done and avoid the crowds though. This article is going to talk to you about the advantages of Black Friday shopping online.

1. The first advantage to doing your shopping online, rather than in the stores, is you are able to avoid the huge crowds. On Friday morning, the stores open up extremely early, as early as 5 am, and big out the biggest crowds of the year. People start lining up the night before in order to be the first ones inside the store. If you do not line up the night before, you are not going to be able to avoid the crowds. However, if you do your shopping online, you can shop from your own home, and not have any crowds.

2. You are able to get every product on your list when you shop online. Unless you are in the front of the long line of people at the stores, there is always a chance that you will not be able to get every product on your list. Stores attempt to stock up on all of their products, but popular products will go fast, and may run out. When you do your Black Friday shopping online though, you know you will be able to get all the products on your list.

3. You can avoid the hassle of going to many different stores. Odds are you are not going to be able to do all of your shopping at one store. If you were to attempt to do all of your shopping on Black Friday, you would have to jump around to multiple stores, facing multiple crowds, and it would take a lot of time. The better solution is to do your shopping online. You can visit multiple websites and get all of your shopping done in no time at all.

Doing your shopping online rather than in the stores on Black Friday is the way to go. You can avoid the crowds, get every product on your list, and you can get your shopping done in quick. With all the advantages to Black Friday shopping online, why wake up early and battle crowds?
