Review on 🧭 Garmin nüvi 42: Reliable 4.3-Inch Portable Vehicle GPS (US) (Discontinued) by Howie Broyles

Used it on a 6 hour trip to Wisconsin Dells. It's an improvement over the old Magellan GPS it replaced. I love the split screen mode which shows a picture of your exit sign. A white arrow indicates which lane you need to be in. The speed limit indicator was accurate. Whenever I passed a new speed limit sign, my GPS would change the displayed speed limit after two seconds. This is extremely useful for avoiding speeding tickets in unfamiliar areas. No GPS is perfect, and neither is this one. He couldn't find the Peewits Nest State Natural Area an attraction. I had to use my iPhone to find it. We were in front of Chula Vista Resort but my GPS showed we had 2 more miles to go? On the local road he told me to go straight when the road ended. As I turned right, the GPS quickly recalculated. Again, these are minor hiccups and I'm still happy with the purchase. I had no problem downloading GarminExpress on my Windows 8.1 desktop and downloading the latest US map from 2015. When updating the maps I entered my email address and also registered my GPS in case I need warranty service. Overall, I'm happy to spend $70 on a new GPS. I know that GPS devices are not perfect, but they will help you get very close to your destination.
