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

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 bought my garmin to replace a cheap omnitech gps that died. Having gotten no satisfaction from them I decided to go with a “name brand” and chose the garmin. I like the thinness of the unit, the clarity of the display and the traffic info that recently saved me from getting into a huge traffic jam in Fremont, ca. With the weighted rubber base it stays put on my dash, but is easily removed and hidden when I park in public. So far, I’m very happy with it!

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.
