Garmin announced today a new model in the Nuvi range. The Nuvi 1490T is aimed at the higher end of the Nuvi range. It will offer a 5-inch display with route planning, lane assist, lifetime traffic alerts, bluetooth hands-free calling, pedestrian navigation, photo navigation and ecoRoute.
It will also support downloading of CityXplorer content (when available). This will allow you to navigate city public transit systems for selected cities, such as bus and rail transportation.
The 1490T will come preloaded with either North American or European maps. It will be 25% slimmer than most Nuvi models already in the market. It is expected to be available in July 2009. Prices in the US are expected to be around $499, so in the UK we can expect to see prices in excess of £300.
News of the 1490T release comes hot on the heels of the Nuvi 1200 and 1300 models. We’ll be hoping to review all these models later this year.

I like the new menu organization, they didn’t bury as many of the options and settings in sub-folders.
