Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought this case because it was one of the few advertised as accommodating my Garmin Nuvi 1490. Well, the thing is indeed large enough, except none of the half dozen pouches provided can hold the 1490, so there's no way to hold the GPS down inside. Luckily, the top has a depression into which the 1490 will fit perfectly. I've asked my wife to make a fabric pouch for the 1490 and I'll attach a couple strips of elastic or Velcro across the well to secure the unit.
Also, the case does not include the stated wrist strap (at least mine didn't, but I would have pulled it off anyway), and there's no handle, belt loop or other means of carrying it if you plan to take your GPS hiking. I haven't tried putting it in my car as yet, but I can see the hard shell could be a pain when sliding the case under a seat, especially given its comparatively large size (10x7x3.5). The same holds true for hauling the thing out each night you're on the road (one more bag to carry into the motel room).
Overall, though, the case is satisfactory. Besides being less expensive and more convenient than others I've seen, I really did get all my usual GPS accessories inside, including the bean bag base, and there is still some space left. If your GPS is smaller than the Garmin Nuvi 1490 (e.g., a Nuvi 350), and will fit in one of the furnished pouches, this is an excellent buy.
