3490 is nice but missing some features

 

Just purchased the 3490 after hearing about the new traffic features. Previous gps was 1690, i was suprised not to see fuel prices or airline schedules etc. I'm not sure if these can be downloaded, it has a lot of nice features didn't think it was worth the change.

The 1690 has the MSN service

The 1690 has the MSN service which will go sunset I think in Jan 2012 thanks to Microsoft.

None of the new Garmin GPS units have that data. You'll need a smartphone for gas prices, air line tickets and anything else that needs a network connection.
