Currently using a Garmin 1390T with the EcoRoute HD module. Mixed results. The 'T' stands for traffic and it turns out when you are in range, "offers" read "ads" pop up from time to time. I think Garmin needs to be more transparent about this. The only way to disable it is to disable the traffic feature.

The EcoRoute HD is an OBD to Bluetooth module, it plugs into the OBD II port so you can monitor things like coolant temperature and battery voltage and RPM.

I also have an 855 and I think it's better, but does not have the support for the EcoRoute HD.

On our recent vacation trip we had beau coup problems with the 1390T. Once it locked into traffic reports in SF, it downloaded 3 "offers" and thereafter it would show an offer every 20 minutes or so and then reboot itself. Since we rely on the speedo display, this was pretty ANNOYING.

Garmin's advice is to completely reload the firmware from scratch and then disable the traffic feature, whee! Sure am glad I paid extra for traffic.

At this point I might sell the 1390T on EBay and go back to using the 855...

I am also plotting out a Linux dashboard! So tired of closed boxes! Foxtrot here we come.
