Product works fairly well. When you turn off with a Power ON always receptacle, the screen turns on to full brightness and displays Charging. (Kills car battery and bright illumination causes a theft issue!) 5 inch screen very nice.

Comments about Garmin nuvi® 1490T Portable GPS:

Nice screen size. Searchable POI database is nice but missing some data. If the screen were any larger it would be too large. The 1490T even works on the passengers lap providing the power cord is not all bunched up.
