Leaving for Florida in a few weeks, neeed help due to navigational challenges. Tried a friends TomTom.....it was cofusing, difficult to understand and VERY frustrating. No one in our family liked it. Bought Garmin because I used my moms and like the easy set up and accuracy. Ready for travel.

This was our second Garmin, the first died 2 months after the warranty was up. Salesman talked us into this model. We took 2 trips, the first entrance onto the tollway had us looping an extra 2.5 miles. I caught the next 2 such looped calculations.
Trip #2; the directions took my wife pass the exit 2 times before exiting at it on the 3rd pass. Pass it south, loop 10 minutes in city traffic go back north 2 exits loop another 5 minutes, back south to the exit on the 3rd pass. 20 minute trip took 45 minutes and cost us gas. "Seriously Garmin" Glad there was a 14 return policy. 2 strikes and your out Garmin

              The best GPS yet. Its added features such as actually showing the lanes in a separate window is most helpful. Some of the safety features are extremely helpful such as it will not allow you to change setting while moving. The speed indicator is extremely helpful as well, it turns red when you exceed the speed limit. The lifetime maps update is especially appealing to me. Other GPS's such as Tom Tom charge $50.00 for each map update. The 4.3 inch screen is also perfect for me. I do not require a 5 inch screen.

                It takes a while to calibrate, but I can live with this. It got "confused" near Kingwood, WV & we had to turn it off. It kept trying to take us home over dirt roads that ran parallel to the main highway. Otherwise, it has work fine. I do wish a more economical type would come out that had rural route and box #s!

                Comments about Garmin nuvi 40LM Portable GPS:

                I wanted a new GPS. So I hurriedly purchased the Nuvi without much research. I had heard allot about Garman and so I went and bought one. It is up to the task but I had hoped for more bells & whistles. I attempted to put some addons in and I have yet to get them to go from my computer to the nuvi. I am usually pretty savvy when it comes to electronic devices but this one fooled me. I suppose for the bucks I paid you don't get all the bells and whistles, so I am not complaining and will keep it and use it.

                Just a little disapointed

                  Asked on 4/1/2013 by Al from Pleasant Hill, Oregon

                  1 answer

                  • A:

                    You can use it, however there are a few issues you will probably face: On a plane, train, or boat the GPS will be constantly trying to find you a road to drive on, even though you're not using roads. You may be able to find a setting that allows for "straight line travel" that would prevent that.

                    Also, the accuracy of these devices is probably not that great when you're flying, since they're not designed for those sort of speeds.
