Pros: standard size screen adequate
"Never used a sat nav before but found this product easy to install and use. Given good advice about all products available from Josh at the Bury, Lancs store, who guided us to this particular product and was very knowledge able, pleasant and helpful, we made the right choice and got the product at a good price including half price off the travel pack kit. A good choice for beginners at a good price, thanks Josh"

Pros: very clear junctions, choices of icons amuses the children!
Cons: pronunciation, instructions on disc. easy to do without initially
"So much better than my last Sat Nav. Very clear, easy to set up and to follow directions. Only downside is that pronunciation needs a bit of working out to follow at times but get used to it and is quite houmourous"

Pros: bright and easy to use, good price, shows how long destination will take
Cons: voice directions a tad late on motorway driving
"its my first ever sat nav i didnt want to buy a cheap one and i didnt want to buy a overly expensive one so when i saw this on offer i thought i would go for this. i needed a sat nav as i am relocating. The system itself is really good very easy to use a monkey could use it, the only problem is when its time to turn using motorways that is (not in built up areas) i find that the voice directions on roundabout and motorway turnings are a tad late so it will only tell you when your pretty much there which i understand that they do this so you dont turn too early but when approaching a roundabout or motorway driving you need to allocate time to get in the correct lane if you dont your going to go wrong which i have a couple of times but sayng that, me going wrong it has always got me home and alot less stressfull tells you the time its going to take to get to your destination speed and other really good aspects that makes this sat nav the right sat nav for me"

Pros: lfetime map updates, ease of transfer of favourites between garmins, lane-guidance
Cons: slow download speed for updates
"Liked the lifetime map updates included and the lane-guidance on major routes. Was very glad to be able to transfer "favourite" destinations from my old Garmin to this one - saved a lot of time. Took quite a long time (1 hour +) to download map update."

Pros: easy to use, clear screen, good screen mount
Cons: rural mapping not always reliable
"First sat nav as I am a map user really. But pleased with the product. Easy to use and clear instructions. Mapping is poor in rural areas that you know well (home eg) so needs to be used with care at detail level. But a great boon to the solo driver. Halfords service was very good - it usually is actually."

"Previous sat nav was unable to be updated it as it's memory was too small for latest maps. This Garmin Nuvi 40LM sat nav was used to get me from Dieppe to Frigiliana, southern Spain via Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). It coped very well as far as Alcala but it looked like the motorway exit was quite a recent construction and the sat nav was confused and didn't identify the correct turning but once off the new roads it got me to my hotel. I found the snap shots of motorway exits very useful, but there were a couple of times when a reassuring "keep left" would have been in order rather than silence. I decided on this product purely for the free life time updates. I hope the above confusion is corrected on the next update. The downloadable extra voices etc are good fun and some are free."
