Works as described in the manual. Little bit pricey for the features. I have not tried lane guidance yet.

Purchased the unit for an upcoming trip. The Garmin 1390 worked exhalent. This unit is very intuitive. The only complaint is the food / restaurant locator needs updating.If I had it to do over, I would make the same purchase. Grate prices at amazon

I had the 1390T for a week. What a disappointment.
GPS is off by anywhere from 70 to 200 feet.
The NAVTEQ Traffic Receiver is absolutely useless. When it works, it always shows that there is “NO TRAFFIC ON ROUTE” no matter how heavy the traffic is. I have tested the unit on the roads surrounding JFK airport, New York City, and Long Island.
The 2010 map is well updated. The “WHERE I AM” function is also great.
I do miss the SIRF GPS chips that GARMIN used to use in older models.
the unit goes back to Amazon on Tuesday. I am going back to my NUVI 250W. The 250W does not have all the bells and whistles the 1390T has, but it does get me to the destination of choice over and over again without a fail.

After months of research I finally purchased my first GPS, a Garmin 1390T. Used it in California on vacation for two weeks where it worked fine. Came home to Florida & the first time I went to use it again it took me 20 minutes to convince the unit that I was not still in California. I am driving my non air-conditioned 1972 vehicle on the Interstate & notice that the screen has locked up. Grant it the tempature was 90 degrees in the shade, but I survived, my Escort Radar Detector survived, my cell phone survived, only the new Garmin died. For two hours while I was driving, not only could I not revive it, I could not even shut it off! Finally, when I got home it came back to life. I called Garmin who at first denied any reports of this, then after pressing the issue admitted that they have had reports of the unit dying when it gets too hot. Well that’s real nice. I sent that worthless gadjet back for a refund. So now I am back on the hunt for a GPS that works when you need it to. It won’t be a Garmin.

I got this is a birthday present and it is turning out to be one of the best present I have received. It works FAR better then any in-car solution. The $1500 optional navigation system in my land rover was nothing compared to this Garmin. I have lane guidance which is one of the best things ever in a nav system. I just look at it and know what lanes I can be in and should not be in. The junction view is great as it provides a type of visual landmark for driving. The traffic system is free and works very well, although I would pay a small fee to get rid of the annoying ads sometimes displayed on the map screen. Acquiring a sat signal takes a bit when first starting up. Otherwise it is probably one of the best nav systems I have ever used. It can find anything, get my anywhere and does it very easily.
