Excellent product but out of date!

By Jill (argos.co.uk) Read the full review

I bought this in January 2012 and although it didn't come with much in the way of instructions, it was really easy to use. However, I'd recommend buying the accessory pack as well, which I think includes an adapter, so you can charge the sat nav in a...

Garmin nüvi 1340T

By Fabien Pionneau (digitalversus.com)

Clear, efficient navigation ; Good at locating satellites ; Small and well-finished ; Large matte screen ; Bluetooth hands-free mode

Autocorrection of addresses not very useful ; Handling of stops en route ; Suction mount too traditional ; Not many options to configure route chosen ; No FM transmitter

The Garmin nüvi 1390T won't revolutionise the world of GPS, but it's simple to use and does its job well. We would, though, have preferred more options and the chance to adjust more settings.

Garmin - Nuvi 1340T

By (itreviews.co.uk)

Go back just a few years and the sight of someone with a sat-nav in their car was something of a novelty. These days, it's more of a novelty to see a hapless motorist struggling with ...

There's plenty to like about the Garmin Nuvi 1340T. It's compact, guides you from A-to-B with aplomb and is extremely easy to use. The CityExplorer tool is also useful, although it's an extra cost and there aren't a huge number of maps available. On...

Garmin Nüvi 1340T

By Will Stapley (reghardware.co.uk)

Solid navigation credentials, but expensive considering the limited functions.

Despite being impressed with its navigation skills and usability, £219 just seems a bit steep for the Nüvi 1340T, especially since there's no Bluetooth, which is useful for hands-free calls as well as providing more up-to-date traffic reports. Many...

If you've no need for street maps for Western Europe, the Nüvi 1300T (£189) is essentially the same device but with UK and RoI maps. Further costs can be saved by ditching traffic alerts and opting for the Nüvi 1300, which represents far better value...
