GOOD DEVICE AT THE RIGHT PRICE

This device doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but who needs it! Its low price makes it a bargain. You get lifetime map updates, which typically cost you $65 if you buy them separately. That means you can get this GPS for less than $20 when you factor in the cost of LifeTime Maps. The device will be a great gift for everyone. I bought one for my teenage daughter so she would have no problem getting from point A to point B. I'm also thinking about buying the same one for my mom. Again, Aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GPS, finder and accessories
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

ok basic gps, need some more features.

Good device, lane assist is a great feature, there are speeding and arrival time alerts. What it doesn't have is total distance to target.

I had an old Garmin AC grill mount that works great, keeping the unit in sight and far enough back to not be exposed to the sun. My tom-tom also had a plethora of voices available, from the air traffic controller to the "yeah, hey, do it" hillbilly, plus you could get Yoda, Darthโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Covers
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Beware of software changes

I purchased the nรผvi 30lm and noticed significant software changes compared to the nรผvi 40:1: Does not give street names for turns. It just says turn right 100 meters then turn right. It's really confusing on the freeway when freeways intersect. It says don't recalculate if you're off course, which is confusing to me. There will only be new directions. I found this confusing because I still had previous directions in my head and then there were new conflicting directions. It does not have aโ€ฆ
