With its innovative speech recognition, you can control nüvi 3490LMT with your voice – allowing you to
keep both hands on the wheel. Simply wake up nüvi with a customizable voice command and begin
speaking menu options that are clearly displayed on the screen. When you’re stopped, you can still
control the nüvi using its 4.3” (10.92 cm) glass touchscreen.
Garmin Guidance 3.0 allows you to quickly look up addresses and services and be guided to your
destination with voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names. It comes preloaded

Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late
Now there’s no more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Available in

show you a realistic depiction of junctions on your route, complete with road signs and arrows that
indicate the proper lane for navigation. Bird's Eye junction view also is included for a top-down look at
upcoming interchanges.

Point-to-point navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 3490LMT features a microSD™ card slot so you can
store and use detailed cityXplorer™ maps or download custom voices and vehicles for free from the
Garmin Garage It also comes with a powered mount that charges while you drive while dual-
orientation functionality lets you hold nüvi vertically or horizontally for added convenience driving or
walking. And for added convenience and safety, built-in Bluetooth® connectivity lets you make and
take hands-free calls and texts.
nüvi 3490LMT’s "Where Am I?" emergency locator provides your exact latitude and longitude
coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and more.
And Enhanced Exit Services tells you what services you’re approaching on the highway.
