I purchased the LN740 for my wife about a year ago, and we've been generally pleased with the features and performance, particularly given the low cost - that is, until I tried to update the installed maps.
When I took a trip to Pennsylvania last week, I found that the unit was directing me to exits, and would then "lose" the roadway, makeing it look as though we were driving off the road, as the highway system had been recently modified.
Figuring it was time to update the map info for ... Read More

The LG LN740 is a great product. This is the first navigation device that I have owned, but I truly love it. The large screen makes it easy to read and the menu system is easy to navigate. The directions are clear and precise.
There have been a couple of times where the GPS was unable to locate my position and on a few occasions the GPS has frozen up completely which requires a full shutdown. This has only happened about 3 times in the year that I have owned it. My main frustration with ... Read More

I bought this unit after experiencing the frustrations of using a rental Garmin carnav that did not have text-to-speech capability. Just try to navigate DC's traffic circles with the instructions of "turn right in 200 feet"....yes, but which right turn?
The LN 740 gives plenty of warning before an upcoming turn. The screen is large enough to see most upcoming turns and read the street/route name as well as hear the spoken name. On the other hand, the name pronunciations are really strange: e.g. ... Read More

I own this GPS for a few weeks. Bought it because of very good reviews and value. This is what I don't like based on my short expirience. The most important: Voice sounds very distorted. It's like listening to radio without fine tuning. It's so annoying, I'm surprised other reviewers didn't notice it. There is only one voice you can use with TTS-American English female voice. There are so many voices in Tom Tom I have in my work truck! It's not very accurate. Tells me my home is 0.2 miles ahead when I'm ... Read More

After reading mixed reviews I decided to give this unit a try. Coming from a Lowrance Iway 500c, I was looking for the newer sirfstar III receiver as well as faster routing and quicker satellite acquisition. The LG excelled at all three.
- Great satellite acquisition times, about 5 min for the first cold start and then almost instantaneous for subsequent reconnections. The unit has a sleep feature which seems to keeps the unit on similar to that of a laptop without having to reload maps, the ... Read More
