Garmin 1490 LMT, $299.99

Not a bad price. Too bad they don't have the same price here in Canada.

The 1490LMT is currently $279.99CDN incl. shipping & handling.

I went to a Costco store in Ottawa yesterday and picked up a 1490LMT for $269.99

Yep, saw the same thing today here in BC.

Amazon.com has it for $249.99

Not for Canada. The exchange would make it way higher. Besides, they won't ship to Canukistan!

Does anyone know a good price and where that is for the Nuvi 1490T (Without Lifetime Maps)?

This has been the price for several days; don't know how much longer it will be valid.

With the recent price drop does that mean the 1490 is soon destined to be discontinued?

I still think the 'sleeper' is the 2360 series that's coming out. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=69452

I was going to see if it's out & on sale anyplace nearer to the holidays, but it's already got a reasonable MSRP, imo. But that was before I got my 295W with Wi-Fi (nuLink). Now I'm waiting for a 2360 with wi-fi

What I REALLY want is my 765T with VR & nuLink, though (at the 2360 price point!).

I purchased the Garmin 1490T at Costco (Canada) for $239.00 about three weeks ago. Costco (Canada) now seems to be carring the 1490LMT for $279.00

Great deal and for many the additional $40 for lifetime maps is well worth it. Personally I only keep my GPS for on average year and a half, so I can do without it.

Costco US has it for $249.00 Free Shipping until Tomorrow. It does include the lifetime maps update card.

It's down to $259 now. Saw it today in store.

It's down to $249 now so I couldn't resist. Nice size screen and the LMU is a great feature. Updating right now and going to run it all next week.
Price at Future Shop was $399, Best Buy was $249 but they had sold out, so Costco it was, lots of stock there.

At my Costco today the 1490T was $169. - no lifetime maps BUT you can get a Lifetime Map Card for about $72. (it has been cheaper).

The best I can find on Amazon today is $230.45. North of the border we do not get the free shipping.
Tried the 1490 today on my run to work and found that the "Junction View" works in Montreal. Sound is also much clearer and there is marked improvement in the Bluetooth phone quality.
