Review: LG LN740 Portable Navigation Device
Comments:
You may know LG as a brand of LCD and plasma TVs and cell phones. Now LG wants you know its name as a maker of GPS navigation systems. Given the rise in popularity of portable nav systems this year, it's not surprising that lots of companies are giving th
Review Verdict: When you don't need the unit to tell you where to go, you can use it as an MP3 player or a digital photo viewer via the SD card slot. It's better as a photo viewer than as an MP3 player because it doesn't broadcast the audio to an FM channel or include a

How To Buy the Right GPS
Comments:
LG Electronics, a company probably best known for its mobile phones, flat-panel displays, and high-end home appliances, previewed a new line of portable navigation devices (PNDs) at CES in January. I was lucky enough to check out the company's current top
Review Verdict: Chances are you didn't know that LG makes GPS devices, but if live traffic updates are important to you, the combination of a built-in TMC receiver, a big 4-inch screen, and text-to-speech conversion makes the LG LN740 a nice value.

Review Verdict: Chances are you didn't know that LG makes GPS devices, but if live traffic updates are important to you, the combination of a built-in TMC receiver, a big 4-inch screen, and text-to-speech conversion makes the LG LN740 a nice value.
QuickTake:
Pros: Large 4-inch screen. Supports text-to-speech conversion in three languages. Built-in traffic receiver. Able to do multisegment routing. Estimated 6-hour battery life.
Cons: No audible turn indicator. POI menu awkward to maneuver. Map view doesn't display speed. Separate TMC antenna makes for a messy-looking dashboard.
