LG LN735 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought the LN735 navigator and am happy with it.

Pros:

1.Finds your location within seconds of turning it on.
2.The only time it loses its location is inside a tunnel.
3.Very nice display.Maps and fonts are very clear.
4.Calculates your route in a couple of seconds.
5.Does a nice and logical job of calculating the best route, most of the time.
6.Entering addresses is very easy.

Cons:

1.Battery life in the spec is 4 hours.I can only really get 2-3 hours out of it.
2.After it calculates your route, you can tell it to avoid a road, and it will recalculate a different way.BUT, you cannot detour a road that you are on.So if you are sitting in traffic on the highway, you cannot tell it to recalculate and completely avoid the road you are on.
3.For some reason, it like to calculate routes by getting you off of the highway as fast as possible and have you take more city streets.So, if it is a little farther to take the highway to your destination, but is quicker due to highway speeds, it will still route you through city streets, because it is shorter even though you would be moving at city speeds.
4.It does not remember the contrast setting.Every time you power it on, it is at full contrast, which doesn't help the already short battery life.
5.The volume of the voice is too low, even at full volume.

This is a very good unit, and you get a lot of useful features for the price.

This screen provides you with clear, selectable 2D and 3D map views and menus that are easy to read at a glance, and features auto zoom, and day and night views that you can manually switch to, ensuring you can see no matter what your lighting conditions.

The music player accepts both MP3 and WMA digital music formats, while the photo viewer can display either JPEG or BMP digital pictures. And though the controls and menu system are extremely simple and intuitive, if you need a bit of assistance, this unit provides a handy on-screen help system.
