Nav 740 4.3 Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator NAV740 Review
 
Review Date: May 2, 2008
Reviewer: J. S. Abshear, Fairhope, AL United States
I read the review in PC Magazine, I read the 2 reviews above. I thought the price was right so I went ahead and purchased it... After a week of using it, I love it. No problems so far. It is very simple to use, yes the interface could use a little tweaking, like the 1st reviewer stated. It has not locked up, or acted odd in any way. I loved the fact that I took it out of the box, turned it on, and there was my current location almost instantly. No loading maps. It's all already there. I love the 3D view too. You don't really need the supplied discs, nor do you need to hook it up to your computer. You can - if you want to copy your pictures, videos, or music to it, or just take out the SD memory card and put it in your card reader. I like the fact that I don't have to change batteries. I just keep it plugged in to my lighter socket in my vehicle. I'm happy with the price too. (Approx. $200)

I have had this GPS for about a month now. It is an excellent device. I agree with all of the positive comments by those who have reviewed it. I would like to add several more.

Because I needed some help (not the NAV740's fault) I emailed the manufacturer. In both cases I received a fast (in several hours), complete, easy to understand answer. It was obvious the technician knew the product.

The unit comes with two DVDs which contain a very complete manual in several sections and complete software and maps recovery with installation directions - a nice piece of insurance. You can also find updated maps with installation directions at no charge on the internet. The link is http://v7support.com/gps/index_files/USA_Nav740.htm

Yes, the device may not always map a trip as you would have - there are too many possibilities. However, if you don't like the way you are being directed, just adjust your drive and the unit will recalculate based on your change.

So far I am delighted with the NAV740. I couldn't believe the low price. It is a great buy.

My wife and I planned a vacation to the Rockies and decided to get a GPS to aid in our first "mapless" trip. Just returned and couldn't have been happier with the product.

The supplied instructions were terrible but it didn't matter - the device is so easy to use they weren't needed. The interface is terrific and the text-to-speech outstanding. I was amazed at how effective it was even in the "nameless" road environment of the Colorado mountains. Only one minor glitch, as it identified US 50 West as US 50 East (wasn't too hard to figure out it was wrong).

Relatively cheap, easy to mount and operate, and terrific interface. Our first "mapless" trip went over quite well and all paper maps we owned have found their way to the garbage - PC Magazine nailed this one - highly recommended.
