Garmin nuvi 3590LMT Review

If you already own one of Garmin's higher-end nuvi models purchased within the last 2 years, the 3590 LMT probably isn't compelling enough to warrant upgrading. If you don't already have a GPS, or are looking to upgrade an older/lower-end model, the...

Good, But Not A Whole Lot Different Than Previous Models

Garmin nuvi 3590LMT review

The Garmin nüvi 3590LMT is the company's new top of the line auto navigation unit. As part of their Prestige series, this model basically offers the same feature set as the nuvi 3490LMT, but with a larger 5″ screen. Which means you get a bevy of...

5″ capacitive multi-touch screen ; Strong customization options ; Powered mount ; Exit services ; Lifetime map updates included ; Lifetime traffic (ad free) ; HD traffic reception seems to have improved since initially released on the 3490LMT ; POIs...

Not as thin as the nuvi 3490LMT ; Bluetooth sound quality not as good as on the nuvi 2×95 series; slow to connect

Recommended. HD traffic reception seems to have been improved since it was initially released on the nuvi 3490LMT. Voice command performance seems better than on the 3490LMT as well. The only downside is that the 3590LMT is a little disappointing in...

The dual-view display shows a 3D overhead map next to a graphic display of the upcoming turn

Traffic notifications are based on FM transmissions, so areas with weak FM coverage will not display heavy traffic

Best GPS in the market

I purchased this because my old Nuvi 350 had aged gracefully and because I recently went on a road trip through California and wanted a new GPS for that and beyond. Driving through L.A. maze of freeways proved exceptionally easy but traffic info was...

Very good GPS

I love the voice command feature it is great. It makes it so easy when your driving and you don't have to touch the screen. It boots up fast and locks on to the satellites very fast. When you don't follow the suggested route it recalculates quickly and...

Audio command function, fast turn on, fast lock on

You have to be careful when you snap it into window mount. It isn't as sure footed as my 770

Easy to use. I didn't even have to read the book.

I am really enjoying the ease of use and the great picture with the split screen. I have even been able to download a new voice so that Darth Vader tells me where to turn. I do find times that I have quite a bit of difficulty getting the GPS into the...

The large screen, and the split picture showing an actual version of the exit coming up

It is a little hard to put the GPS into the charging bracket in the car

I love this GPS

Rode from San Diego to Sacramento using the GPS. Here is my observations: 1) Once the quick release powered mount is attached, hearing the directions loud and clear is no problem. 2) While riding I5 thru LA, (on a Sunday), all of a sudden i get a...

Nice set of features

Lack of wall charger
