What's the difference between this device and the $30 cheaper vehicle version?

I hate this device. I have a hard time connecting it to my iPad every time I use it, it turns on in my flight bag with the mildest of pressure and drains the battery and I have had it replaced twice under warranty and would never buy another one. Garmin makes great products, but this is their dud.

There isnt a difference. At the time I bought the luggable loo it was the cheapest. So if you found one thats cheaper I would jump on it.

Mine was an upgrade, wanted a GPS on my truck.I bought mine for $399.It does come from China, so be ready to wait a while, unless Amazon has one that ships faster.

I have not found any other difference except these:BluetoothMSN Direct - you get this free for 9 months, it's then $50 for a year subscription but they are discontinuing it in early 2012. MSN Direct will tell you gas prices, weather, etc.GREAT PRICING on Amazon.com this morning (Black Friday) for $129.99!!! I'm thinking it's a possibility Garmin is discontinuing it. It doesn't appear as an item you can purchase on the Garmin website.

No. If you havent bought it then dont. I hate it. It randomly answers the phone even though i have it set to not answer. The touch screen is not easy to navigate through like newer touch screens. Finally my navigation worked great for about a month or so just long enough to not be able to return and went haywire and hasnt worked since. It is NOT worth the cheaper cost. Oh and it took my boyfriend who has installed stereos before, 2 days to make it fit and go in my RAV4.

Each model is different, and there are multiple traffic services. The ClearChannel traffic service that comes with this model by default (with the integrated FM receiver) is $60 for a *LIFETIME UPGRADE* according to this page on the Garmin website. https://shop.garmin.com/fmtraffic/select_service_plan.asp?L=EN&CR=1&PR=1 Just keep in mind that you may want to consider the 265WT which sells for about $250, or perhaps just hold out a little longer for the 765T to drop in price, if the traffic feature is a deal-breaker for you. Note that there are many trade-offs between the entry level (200 series) and mid-range (700 series) models that I listed above. Then again, you may just want to buy this and add traffic, but keep all this in mind. ***************************** There is another option for this unit. The MSN service, which has their own traffic, is a little more expensive but actually includes more for the money (such as gas prices, weather, movie times, news, etc). You get the first year free when you buy the optional receiver. Then you can choose to pay by year or pay once for lifetime service (about twice as much as the ClearChannel Traffic service). Garmin GDB 50 MSN Direct Receiver http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Direct-Replacement-Receiver-StreetPilot/dp/B000MFINWA/ With the purchase of a separate Garmin GDB50 receiver, you'll get a full 12 months of free service from MSN Direct. Free Trial 12 months Annual Payment Plan $49.95/yr One-Time Payment Plan $129.95 Here was the link where I got the info on the second plan option from the MSN service. http://www.msndirect.com/devices.aspx?DeviceDetailsfromServices=Garmin Note this special offer (which would add 6 months to the initial year that is included). " Limited time offer Extend your service within the first 30 days from free trial activation and get an additional 6 months of MSN Direct for only $19.95 (20% savings off the annual price)." http://www.msndirect.com/pricing.aspx

Most vehicles are built with a disabling function so you can not view videos or even google map type apps from the screen due to safety issues. You may find an installer willing to put in an over-ride switch, as I did, but getting to the video/map takes so much time and steps I found it's just not worth it. Also, my vehicle required wires to hang out of dash which I now find annoying. It plays music and even will store photos, which is cool. All in all, I am still very happy with the quality of the player and hands free calling is very easy. Hope this was helpful :)

I am interested in knowing this answer as well. $100 difference in price but I don't see very little difference in features.

We have the powered speakers. There is a price difference, powered more expensive. The EV website has more info.

Not sure what the difference is, but we got ours for @$500 on amazon and it has worked very well with no complaints here; much better deal than spending $1000s on a custom installed system!

I am not sure because I use android. The best of the Android apps is Torque. On iphone you need to visit the apple app store. search for "OBDII" or "ELM327" apps. The apps are sold separately. Some apps work better than others in different vehicles so read the ratings and use trial versions whenever possible. Test your app right away and see if it works. Good luck. P.S. I have seen some android devices selling for as low as $30 with a rebate. So you might consider a cheap android device which you can use as a dedicated gadget.

The car make makes no difference. The device is made by Motorola and is directly compatible with Android smartphones. I don't own any iProducts (my choice) and can't answer that part of your question.

I'm trying to decide & in comparing both models, I DO see more than a Bluetooth difference, if it matters to anyone: The 1490LMT has the lane assist function, but takes it one step further, in that it will show a real view of the lane you need to be in AND it shows all the highway signs that you will see up ahead, with the signs where you need to go Highlighted, and the signs you Don't want, dimmed I do NOT want Bluetooth, but just having gotten lost in Queens NY yesterday, both upon going in AND heading out, this particular feature would have helped greatly, as I just couldn't find my way onto the Triboro Bridge when leaving the area of Queens where I had visited. We have GPS in out new car, but I didn't have access to that car yesterday; all the more reason to put a GPS in the old car, and a 1490LMT is what it'll be!

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

Yes, they are the same thing. If not it would update for free to be the same, but if I remember right, when I bought it it was all up to date. It's totally worth the buy imo
