    If you can watch TV, as in television, on any Garmin GPS unit, well I want to know how you do it. Somehow, I don't believe the receiver works on the same frequencies...

    It seems that you can watch TV on a 1490TV.

    "Using DVB-T technology, you can watch real-time TV, including news, sports and movies, all on your nüvi¹. In addition to watching TV, you can listen to radio channels as part of the DVB-T service and view output from your vehicle's backup camera (if equipped) on your nüvi's high-resolution screen. Indicators for TV signal strength and system messages also appear on the screen. Mobile TV is available in select coverage areas throughout Europe."

    Not sure that watching TV on your GPS while in the car is a good idea though... I assume it doesn't work if you're moving.

    All firmware updates for nuvi's are made available through WebUpdater. Garmin doesn't make updates available as separate downloads. In short if you don't see an update in WebUpdater one isn't available.

  • where the same for 1490TV

    You need to ask Garmin. While Garmin provides this forum, for end-users, it is not an official support mechanism.

    Thanks STUARTMW, I learned something new today! But between my iPod Touch, satellite radio and ham radio, I am well entertained while driving and I don't think TV is a necessity. Now, I'm not asking my grandchildren...

    is the link to a description of what the various updates have to offer, but as has been previously stated, you have to go through WebUpdater to get them.
