Just got 1490T Garmin 5 nuvi
I have had my Garmin Forerunner for 4 months now. PROS: Display is nice, easy to customize, easy to read. Have not had issues with locating satellites outside. Heart rate monitor works well. Love the ability to have virtual partner, set alarms for goals, etc. CONS: COMPUTER SOFTWARE and CUSTOMER SUPPORT! Initially everything worked perfectly. A couple weeks after I had used the device, I searched for software updates and the program said there was an update available. I downloaded the update then had major issues with transferring data and storing information on the computer. Numerous communications with customer service yielded poor responses and ineffective solutions. Independent research discovered that the so called ‘update’ was actually an earlier software version than the one I had loaded and not a more recent update. Wound up having to remove software and reload original, then it worked fine…UNTIL…a couple of days ago. I tried to customize a workout on the software and transfer the workout to my device. All seemed fine until I tried to then download my data after the workout. The device read “Transfer Complete” but the Training Center gave me an error message saying Trouble Communicating with Device…make sure it’s plugged into the computer then try again. Contacted customer support without reply. Seems like this device works well when you don’t try to customize anything or transfer from software onto device. I am VERY disappointed w/ this product and the support from Garmin.

This book was ok… a little hard to follow at times, as it went on and on. Would have like to ask more questions of why this or that.
