Garmin nuvi 1390LMT Owner Reviews Amazon By Kathy, July 7, 2010 Device is as expected except is had some problems initially, did a freeze and wasn't able to clear it out without turning it off. Seems to be working ok but not impressed with traffic status. What has been given appears to either be delayed or no longer applies. By Wendy "Waiting for the beef", June 19, 2010 I bought this Garmin 1390T after much research and noticed these few negative reviews, but noticed more positive and bought one. I loved the Nuvi during the first few weeks around town in NW Ohio and invested several hours in downloading all of the newest firmware, maps, and other other neat stuff from the Garmin site. HOWEVER, on my first extended trip (to Canada - above Minnesota) a 1,000 mile trip one way. The unit died in Wisconsin, about half way to my destination and in the middle of nowhere as far as my personal experience with the area and highways goes. The unit froze on the map, leaving the impression you are doing fine. Luckily I noticed before my next intersection or I would have really been lost. When I repowered, it just flashed Garmin...Garmin...Garmin and never booted up. After having my daughter at home call the Garmin customer service, after 45 minutes of hold time, they acted like this is something unheard of (see the many other bad reviews here with this exact same problem). They said I should return the unit. Nice, I'm in the middle of the wilderness still 400 miles from my destination and all I need to do is ship this back to the Amazon web site! Hey Garmin ... HOW ABOUT EXCHANGING IT AT ANOTHER OF THE HUNDREDS OF YOUR RETAILERS I AM PASSING ON THE ROAD?!? After rereading the other reviews here who encountered this problem and had the same reoccurrence with replacement units from Garmin, I am NOT exchanging this for another 1390T. I strongly recommend you do not buy one. I may buy another Garmin model, but after the customer service experience and the lack of real help while I was lost on the road (the whole reason I purchased a GPS in the first place) I am not sure. By Amazonist "Rick & Jenny", June 16, 2010 We have been a Garmin user for over 5 years and within these 5 years we have gotten different model and loved it. Unfortunately this particular model that we bought gave us nothing but trouble. We were very excited about the new features it provides. After using it for about 3 weeks this model all of sudden froze and will not load the map. We end up returning this model and exchange for the same thing and again after 3 days this particular model will not load the map and in fact kept rebooting itself. Again we thought this perhaps is a fluke, went back and exchange for another same model. Sadly, this one yet died again and the map will not load. The merchant we purchase the item from suggest us to call Garmin and to my disappointment after sitting for half hour wait their customer service was beyond horrible, not professional and rude. Because of this experience we will not be purchasing another Garmin. Garmin nuvi 1390LMT Owner GPS Ratings Amazon 15 reviews Return from Garmin nuvi 1390LMT to Garmin Auto |
