Garmin Nuvi 1490TV is a GPS device that comes with a built-in digital TV tuner, which allows you to tune into DVB-T and radio in Europe. The DVB-T allows you to receive free content, which you’ll be able to tune into 50 channels and 24 radio stations across Europe.
The Nuvi 1490TV features a 5-inch display that should make a comfortable viewing. Such a GPS device used in the car, will give the driver some distraction. Luckily, it can turn the TV tuning off automatically while the car is on the move, which is a safely measure for the driver. But this is a waste for the passenger.
The GPS goodies include maps of Europe, free premium traffic updates, safety camera warning, text-to-speech and can be used as a Bluetooth handsfree for your cellphone. And it has a pretty long-lasting battery, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and built-in speakers. The Garmin Nuvi 1490TV will be available across Europe starting in April and priced around 300 Euros.
