Testurteil: "4 out of 5"
Test: Einzeltest: Garmin Nuvi 1490TV
Zitat: The good: + While most satnavs offer up 4.3 inches of screen real estate, the 1490TV delivers a full 5 – and isn’t any the heftier for it. Garmin makes some of the most user friendly navigation software around, with clear, clean map design, easy-to-follow voice guidance and a powerful search tool that lets you key in a street name without first having to specify the town, or browse Points of Interest in much the same way. The lane management system for motorway driving makes negotiating unfamiliar highways much simpler. This navigation is backed up with a pretty decent digital TV, which comes through a pair of attachable antennae.
The bad: - As you might imagine, the Freeview tuner doesn’t work particularly well in more rural areas, even with both antennae hooked up and draped over your car seats. Also, if you’re planning a lengthy telly session, you might find the three hour battery life to be a little short.
The Garmin Nuvi 1490TV doesn’t offer anything outstanding, but if you’re looking for a solid, dependable and easy-to-use satnav with the added bonus of Freeview TV, it ticks all the boxes.
