I highly recommend the newer 1490T over the older nuvi 5000, as the 1490T includes free lifetime traffic service, has a rechargeable internal battery, lane assist, 3D junction view, Bluetooth, displays speed limit information on the map, ecoRoute, and has an improved interface that's faster and easier to use than the nuvi 5000. quote
