When you’re stopped, you can still control the nüvi using its 4.3-inch (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 with maps that feature 3-D landmarks and terrain for North America.

This review is from: Garmin nu"vi 3490LMT 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Maps and Traffic (Electronics)
This GPS is simply amazing! I am coming from an older 1300, so the differences are shocking. First - Gorgeous, bright, full-color screen makes it easy to see whatever you're looking. Second - the voice commands are very interesting. No they're not without faults, but once you get used to how it's laid out, there is very little reason to even have to touch the screen. much safer! It acquires satellites very quickly, even indoors. Unlike my previous GPS, I can find my route from inside my garage without any problems, before I even leave. But the most surprising thing was the automatic orientation. I don't know if the other ones have this, but I love being able to rotate the screen and use it in portrait orientation. It's MUCH more logical to use it this way so you can see more of what's coming in front of you.

By the way, I am mixed on the traffic features. I get perfect reception with the digital tuner (put it above your dashboard if possible - I have mine on a dash mount, so no problem there), but it's usefulness is rather limited. yes, it alerts you to congestion, jams, accidents, etc; but by the time I get to the location, the jam has already cleared, usually by hours. I don't like having to take detours past non-existent traffic accidents. Now I basically use is just to get an idea of traffic conditions ahead - not as a rule.

I have no problems with this unit, and have not experienced any poor routing. In a nutshell - expensive, but you get what you pay for!
