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

I was absolutely against using GPS until a friend loaned it to me for a trip. And what a life saver it turned out to be! It got me out of Miami and saved my life! So I decided to buy the same model, same size. I have USA and Canada as I am planning to visit friends in Canada and this is a good opportunity to travel to the northern part of the continent. My friend's model was older, 40LM, and had a slightly different design since he bought it 2 years ago. I am satisfied with the design and 44 lumens. I would give 5 stars. I think I set it to "shorter distance" / "shorter time" and will undo those settings. It's more confusing driving down side streets crowded with various shops/shops than waiting 3 minutes at a red light then turning left and getting to your destination. At least I think so. Also, sometimes it's easier to turn right, drive 10 minutes down the road, then turn left to your destination. Instead the GPS told me to move along the Autobahn and some other roads, which wasn't really worth it - only 2 minutes less than the arrival time. Other than that, I like the ability to mute the voice and the fact that you can see detailed highway lanes. It tells you which lane to be in, which is great!
