Very pleased with this, is to update and looks good. The only negative is the power cable and mount, it would be nice to be able to remove the mount easily whilst the mechanical bit comes off. But the electrical part is not so easy. But otherwise very pleased.

Good side, it's robust and light, looks as if It should take the odd drop and bounce back, screens large enough and fairly bright, once you've worked out how to navigate the menus and changed a few settings, buttons and screen are easy to use, easy blue tooth connections to phone and headset. However, the unit is advertised as being A2DP compliant, and hasn't got a mp3/radio player, unfortunately Garmin neglect to mention that the 390LM will not transmit a music signal from another A2DP compliant bluetooth device, only spoken, ie, phone signal, I connected my phone to my autocom, using voice prompts, and have a hardwire from the Garmin to the Autocom for directions. As far as directions go, the biggest problem is, there is no main road only facility, so the unit will direct you down single track rutted roads as the quickest way, you end up ignoring the unit and going to the nearest A road, then let the unit recalculate, and hope it keeps on the main road. Has a multitude of navigation options and settings and it comes with lifetime maps, although that's the norm with most units now. If your used to the build quality of the old 550 unit, then your in for a shock, the holder and fittings are pretty flimsy in comparison, but the holder works OK, not tried the car dock, but looks like Chinese ebay sort of quality. Would I buy it again test? No, I'd consider the TomTom 400, about the same price now, or pay the extra and get the 590, with the extra featuresRead full review

Easy to use and set up. Audio quality good and glove friendly when on the motorcycle. One significant negative is that the unit cannot be locked onto the bike. There are after market locks but these add to the already high price. Even my old Garmin Streetpilot could be locked on the bike! Overall I consider the Zumo 390LM a very good unit.

I have had an opportunity to test the unit during my 2 weeks’ trip across Europe. Glove-friendly, waterproof, maintains full visibility in full sun offers a decent performance within this price range. That’s on positive side. Drawbacks are: steep price, unit completely goes completely mental in poor weather conditions, dropping satellite connectivity. I would have expected to maintain the same route (TomTom resolved that brilliantly) and once satellite connection has been re-established then continue on. No such thing with this unit.

Well made, nicely finished. Shame it takes someone with a Doctorate in computer science to show you how to use it when you first get it. Once you get use to the rather strange way the user interface is set up it's not to bad. If you're coming from using a Tom Tom you will have a few days of frustrating fun in learning how to use it, once mastered it is actually quite a good GPS. And yes I do have another Garmin GPS unit.
