LG LN740 just got reviewed and it received an impressive report card from the picky reviewers. In fact when it comes to routing it even did better than brands like Garmin and Magellan, probably thanks to the software engineers that made the most out of the Navteq maps on board which provides maps U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico on a 2GB internal flash memory card.

The LG LN740 is an extremely capable navigation device that exhibited some of the best routing logic I’ve seen to date. The interface is relatively simple to use, the mounting hardware is effective, and the unit includes everything you’ll need to receive real-time traffic data.

Overall the LN740 is an excellent GPS. However, I found the 4-inch display of lesser quality (brightness and resolution) than other competing 4-inch models from Magellan and Garmin. The traffic service requires an additional antenna that must be routed along the windshield, creating unsightly clutter and additional steps to connect/disconnect the GPS from the car.

LG LN740 sells for $450 on Amazon… via
