I have a TomTom and a Garmin nuvi 760 and have used a two-year old Magellan on numerous occasions, and for me the UI on the 760 blows the other two out of the water. It's simplistic but very usable and that's the point isn't it? Not having to fiddle and fumble with controls while driving while also clearly getting all the information you need at a glance.]]>Apr 16th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/

what's next, the deluxe 14" model that requires a wall mount?

They should work on a device that provides good, clear voice direction.]]>Apr 16th 2009 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Apr 16th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/garmin-intros-super-sleek-5-inch-nuvi-1490t-navigator/Yeah the standalone GPS market is going to start dying in a big way. If you can put out standalone units for < $100, it seems it's just a matter of time before every car manufacturer starts including it as a standard feature. Then what, you subsist on selling map updates to people? What they really need to be doing is making strategic partnerships with the automakers so they don't get left out.
