Generally very good, but dodgy satellite pickup

 

The only issue we have had with this has been that if you switch it on whilst moving it can take fully ten minutes to work out where you are. Switched on stationary and it takes seconds. Unfortunately we do often switch it on when lost or when arriving...

Essential product

Fantastic in Europe

 

I have had the Nuvi 1440 for a few months now, but have just put it the test with a week's driving in France. It passed with flying colours - easy to programme single destinations, and routes with multiple destinations to allow easy navigation of back...

Garmin 1440 Sat-Nag.

 

After suffering with an in-built sat-nag in my previous car, I wasn't prepared to make the same mistake again, so after reading the customer reviews on the Garmin I thought that's the one for me. I originally wanted the 2440, but was unable to get it...

Great

 

I bought this for my wife's birthday - she has effectively no sense of direction. She says it's brilliant. She particularly likes the way it shows you which lane to be in on the motorway and the caption across the top of the screen showing your next...
