I know it's been discontinued, but is the 3597 still considered to be the top of the line Nuvi unit at this time?

I know they recently came out with a few new units, but I don't think they were in the "Prestige" category.

My 3490 is acting weird and I may have to replace it, but I wanted to get top of the line.

Thanks.

Yes, at least here in the US, the 3597LMTHD remains the only Prestige model and in my opinion, has many features more desirable than any of the latest just-released Advanced models.

Although it's generally thought that it will be discontinued soon, Garmin has not made an official statement to that effect and the 3597 is listed as both the 2013 and current 2014 Prestige device.

New 3597s are selling above the $330 MSRP right now:

while Factory Refurbs are less:
