Q: This guy posted a craigslist ad that hes selling his for 30 bucks, and it seems as though this is a steal! But he doesn't have the cord to update the maps, and it has all the maps from 2002. Can I buy a cord to update this, and where would I buy it, and
A: Yeah,
It should be under $15. I found it for cheap on this website. Ask him how long the battery life is though. Sometimes it goes waaaaaay down and isnt worth buying at that point (yeah, even for $30)... If it charges, buy the cable
This is my second GPS from Garmin. Both have been for automobile use. The first was a Garmin StreetPilot 2610, which I have had for about 8 years. While not completely dead yet, after roasting under 8 summer suns and freezing through 8 cold winters, it has finally started to present intermittent screen display problems. Not wanting to get caught without a working GPS, I purchased this unit. I originally was leaning toward the 1350T, but opted for the 1390T instead because the price included 4 map upgrades per year for the life of the unit, and since I tend to really get my money’s worth of use from these things, the price difference for me was a great deal over spending money for each upgrade separately.
I’ve had the 1390T Nuvi for a little over a month now. In that time, most of my traveling about has been in my local area, with only a couple of trips out of the area. During the time I have had the 1390T, I have identified several positive and negative observations about it. These are presented in no particular order of importance.
