GPSMagazine has a detailed review on the LG LN740 portable GPS navigation device. The LG LN740 is powered by the SiRFstarIII GPS chipset and it features integrated media player, a 4-inch 320×240 color LCD display and the text-to-speech functionality.
LG LN740 has pre-loaded with maps of US, Canada, Puerto Rico. It has 2GB internal memory and a SD card slot supporting up to 2GB. It is priced at $499.
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.
I also found LG’s color palette on the map strangely foreign (and somewhat depressing). The map screen isn’t as refined as Garmin’s, nor is the LN740 as easy to use.
