Features

Voice prompt
The Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT has an internal voice-prompt/speaker that speaks street names and provides turn-by-turn directions. The voice-prompt can be set to speak foreign language although the street names are only available in English. The speaker prompts the driver to a turn, with timely intervals depending on the speed limit and current speed of the car. It also speaks when doing route recalculation or when it's searching for a lost satellite signal.

However, one convenient feature that is not available in Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT is the voice-activated navigation, which allows voice commands to operate the device. Garmin does allow you to download custom voices if you ever get tired of that robotic speaker.

Lane assist
With the lane assist feature, you are prompted to change lanes when nearing an exit or an intersection. This comes with a junction view so you know how to navigate through foreign intersections. The lane assist also displays accurate road signs that are pretty much identical to the signs you see from your windshield. However, the lane assist is mostly available in major and some particular highways.

Automatic sorting of multiple destinations
Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT reviews all the possible routes for your destination and provides the best route to take to get there at the fastest possible time. This feature proves to be useful when making errands, deliveries, and during emergencies. It also recalculates detour and off-route when you've suddenly met slow traffic flow and needed to take another route. You can also preset your chosen route for faster travel time, e.g. avoid tolls, highways, off road routes, etc.

What's missing in this GPS device is an option to calculate routes according to the predicted traffic flow. It also lacks other high-end features available in high-end Garmin GPS devices like myTrends, which predicts the destination according to the route the driver is taking.

Where Am I?
This feature finds the nearest police, gas, and fire station as well as the closest hospitals, addresses, and intersections. 1490LMT comes with nearly 6 million points of interest or POIs to locate landmarks like malls, restaurants, even BestBuy locations.

LMT
Garmin provide Lifetime Map and Traffic updates for free. Download maps, construction, and traffic updates in Garmin's website. Although maps are not always updated with the latest road change or latest landmark constructions, you are assured that it is at least free of charge and is updated at least every or two years. Users can also add POIs in their Nuvi 1490LMT.

EcoRoute
This feature calculates a more time and fuel-saving route. It gives you an EcoScore that displays if you are wasting gas and when you're driving efficiently. It also provides the number of miles you've covered, the gas you spent, and the cost of the last trip you travelled. The information is recorded in the GPS and can be recovered and logged into your computer.

In a nutshell
If you are quite adept from using a touchscreen while driving then Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT is a nice GPS device. It lacks some high-end features but for the price and the features it offers, it overtakes other GPS devices from other manufacturers.

Electric Golf Cart Reviews

When the game of golf was invented, there was perhaps a single desire to be whisked away to the next green as there was a lot of walking involved considering the sheer size of the playing course. Of course, you could rent electric golf carts when they did come into being. Golf has always used electric carts because of their extremely low noise emission. Unfortunately at that time, one could not imagine buying a golf cart, first because of their prohibitive cost, second, why would you want one which would only server the purpose on one course. Taking it to another course would involve carrying charges and the hassle of renting haulers.

As electrically driven technology evolved, batteries improved and prices of golf carts started to come down, another interesting idea had developed, golf communities. People who had an immense love for golf started building their houses around golf courses. This and the lowering costs of carts were the deciding factors for more and more people to start buying their own golf carts rather than renting them.

Most country clubs now allow members to have their own private golf carts and this automatically means that you can now customize your own cart to reflect your taste. Golf carts can now be outfitted with a wide variety of assortments such as lights just like a car, seatbelts, brake lights etc. These carts can be licensed to be driven on the roads. This fact now enables people to keep their carts at home.

When out shopping for a cart, remember you are going to end up spending roughly a quarter of what you would on a car. Just look at it like buying a car for your daily routine. Keep in mind the quality of construction, safety features, advertised battery life, etc. Never ever buy a cart that you have not driven in an actual golf environment. Nearly all golf cart manufacturers and dealers maintain demonstration models and mock courses to drive them on.

Just remember, it is exactly like buying a car. Depending on how much you want to spend. Nowadays, you can buy a cart that looks like a mini Rolls Royce and will have the build quality of one too accompanied by the same type of price tag.
