There are many reviews concerning. To read the Navis here and would not therefore repeat some. I hope I will succeed to some extent.
Updates! All updates (both firmware and maps) performed flawlessly. Of course, it took a few hours, but that is all Navis so! The software installation went smoothly and the Navi was immediately recognized by the PC and software.
Micro SD card. What's surprised me that necessarily one additional card for the first update was needed. I had just carried out an update without SD card and the software said it was not enough space for an update left, so I first had to get rid of a card, such SD.
Votes! My wife had on her as the voice Navi Bulli Herbig as Vulcanette. Therefore she mourns her Navi still very behind. I was amazed how many free (!!!) votes Garmin offers here! Unfortunately, most (funny) in English, but I found it great that something like this has ever offered! Have of course the different voices "installed" and am thrilled how easy the switch between the different voices going! We now have a voice from WDR (Steffi_neu) :) and the comments are really great! For example, calls to make Steffi on a break because she's tired. Or if we really wanted to go there, because it has no matching clothes here.
Personalization. I was amazed at how much the Garmin offers here. One free change not "his" vehicle or pick his car Icon. You can download everything from their web site. The selection is huge! For example, the Black Pearl can be used (for pirate fans). We currently have a flying bird of prey as a vehicle.
Cockpit / dashboard. There are the most important data (scheduled arrival time, nor distance to be traveled, the compass, altitude, possibly speed limit) appears and you have plenty of choices as you want to have displayed this information on the Navi. I'm impressed by the amount.
Radar warning. It is true that this feature is not free, but if you searched some forums, there are also other possibilities. It works really and I'm curious if it continues (ie longer than the mandatory 30 days) does. Unfortunately, the information is not entirely accurate, so to the nearest meter, I mean, at least for the fixed cameras. But for that he also gives warnings when mobile measurements were reported in the area. He also indicates for which speed, eg 30's zone, 50s or on the motorway, for example 100 or 120'er speeds etc. When Falk there was only the fixed warnings.
Bracket. The support is really great! What I particularly like is that the power of Navis is attached to the support structure and not the Navi itself! This is good and protects the terminal contact socket (micro USB connector) from the Navi! The arrival and removal of the Navi is quick, easy and clean vonstatten. Why one of the reviewers had problems with it was probably because he had not noticed that there is a kind of bar, so it's not easy fall down. Hope he will soon notice, otherwise it will damage it so over time the other connecting contacts! Anons seated correctly the unit firmly in the bracket.
Charge Indicator! Well, that's the only thing I miss! When the Navi in the holder, you can not tell whether it is loaded or when it is full! Only if the Navi is not connected, you can see the charging status. Perhaps I have not yet found the setting.
Oh, that was still navigating. Compared to the Garmin Falk F10 is not so talkative. But I have found that this is also dependent on the choice of votes. Personally liked better in this respect me the F10. The route preference, I also only able to test two (quick or short) Unfortunately, there are no so-called economische (as in F10), ie a mixture of the two, but you can choose fuel-saving. I hope I can test this soon. You must attend before the consumption data of the vehicle type, ie how many liters of fuel the vehicle consumes on country, city and highway. It is also interesting that the Garmin directly determines the cost, so much has now tasted the route if you have entered the petrol price.
If you leave a precalculated route, is very quickly calculates a new. The discovery of the satellites happens surprisingly fast, important if, for example comes out of a car park now ..
LMT. That was important for me because it means that not only do I have no more costs for map updates, but also for the normally payable TMC Pro! So really no hidden costs such as the TomTom because the HD Traffic eventually expire times.
At first I was torn between TomTom (Go Live 1015) and Garmin. But then I found out that one whichever machine you buy for this HD Traffic from TomTom, will have to pay about 50 euros / year. I really wanted this HD Traffic convenience, especially in the city you need this because a TMC does not use. But then I found out that Garmin offers this simple link or this device, this can also. That means I can later use might sometimes this "HD Traffic" Garmin if I just like the. Unlike the TomTom I need the device not just at TMC to equip. With TomTom you have to decide from the outset, either to use HD Traffic or TMC. The Garmin has "both" being necessary to to have a (Android) smartphone (with Internetflat !!!) I was willing to pay almost 300 euros for the TomTom, since the offer of Amazon for the Garmin 220 Euro was natural much better and so far I have not regretted it. I look forward in any case to use the machine again.
I hope I was able to inform regarding some people better. Garmin's 3590 LMT device.
