New Garmin released: Zumo 390LM

[Baggers1]

I was researching (without success) to see if any news on a replacement/update for the 660, but instead found the Garmin press release for the new Zumo 390LM

Now you can have a preference for curvy roads instead of Tomtom windy roads.

I wonder when it will be available in the UK and how much?

Looks nice in black

Split lane assist is good

Does a useful 100 routes

It can use tire pressure monitors (that I don't need)

(Basecamp can do Motorcycle windy roads)

Don't know how good the screen is, if its ex Montana then its pretty good (far better than my Zumo 660)

No MP3 player

No mention of custom maps like the Montana that are both good fun AND useful

No mention of remote temperature sensor input

So overall a miss for me

Love the get out clause on the TPMS

3 Sold separately, can only be used with metal valve stems and is not intended for automotive use.

So WHY bloody sell it then?!?

I struggle to see the benefit over a cheaper 350 unit?

This is the 660 replacement though... it allows connection to both a phone and a headset... Something the 350 does not do.

Funny the Nav V looks different... I expected the 660 replacement to look (like all previous times), a slightly less dark BMW unit.

MP3 player is not needed if you own a smart phone (with music on it)

Al...
