Reviews of the LG LN740 GPS Receiver

CNET Review
The Good: The LG Portable Navigator LN740 is compactly built, sports a large screen, and comes with a number of accessories. The portable navigation system features text-to-speech functionality, a strong receiver, and also includes a free trial to Navteq's traffic service.
The Bad: The LN740's low-resolution screen displays weak colors and appears washed out. It also lacks integrated Bluetooth functionality, which can be found in many other competing products. The device's speakers are weak.
The Bottom Line: The LG Portable Navigator LN740 is a good first effort from the company. Yet considering its low-resolution screen and lack of Bluetooth, you could definitely get more for your money with competing systems.
