Garmin nüvi 40

 

Product not yet tested by PCMag editors.

As a rule, Garmin devices also offer robust point-of-interest (POI) search, including good category breakdowns, as well as searches that update in real time as you drive, complete with compass directions. We didn't review the nüvi 40 specifically, but...

Handheld GPS Devices

 

The Garmin eTrex is a very basic GPS receiver that performs most of the same functions as the original eTrex (introduced about three years ago), including position fix, route tracking, and backtracking to your original position. Unfortunately, it...

Garmin nuvi 40 review

 

The Garmin nüvi 40 is a 4.3” navigator in Garmin's new 2012 Essential series. The models in this series are meant to be basic navigators at a budget price, lower than what we've previously seen for Garmin entry-level models. Nevertheless, they do come...

No powered mount ; Cannot add a traffic receiver ; Can only hide Trip Log; cannot clear it without resorting to a hard reset ; Only includes maps of 48 states (although a version that adds Alaska, Hawaii and Canada is also available)

Highly recommended. This is without a doubt the best entry level navigator Garmin has ever released. It has a generous 4.3” wide screen along with features previously restricted to mid-range units. You can't hardly go wrong with this one.

Garmin eTrex GPS receiver

 

The Garmin eTrex is an easy-to-use, entry-level GPS navigation device for outdoors use. The unit doesn't use maps for navigation, but its PC connectivity gives you flexibility in tracking and planning your routes on a PC.

Value for money: The Garmin eTrex is very good value for money when you are looking for an entry level GPS device. Because of its PC connectivity, it is easier to use for tasks like planning and tracking waypoints and routes than many other entry-level...

Satsports Multi-Sports GPS

 

There's a good few sport-based GPS systems out there, but Satsports has gone the whole nine yards with the Multi-Sports GPS and bundled (deep breath) skiing, golfing, running, snowboarding, cycling, mountain biking, walking or hiking into one device....

As an exercise in versatility the Multi-Sports GPS gets top marks; we just wonder who'll ever use it to its full potential. Satsports Multi-Sports GPS is tagged with Satsports Multi-Sports GPS, Satsports and gps. Select a tag (Satsports Multi-Sports...
