Duneraider Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 The Navman N40i GPS roadtest: Wife used our Amex rewards points to buy the Navman N40i GPS. Took a spell of studying, but she loves electronics and gadgets and mastered it quick. She set course from Simi Valley Ca to Parker Az. Kinda neat, it shows several points of view mapping and verbal instructions. Direct above map, or a terrain looking forward to the horizon map. The route instructed her to Ehrenberg rd, but at the last second she decided to take Rice Rd instead. No problem,, The GPS quickly corrected it's course automagically, and instructed her onward right to the gate of Emerald Cove. She loves it. Pretty cool GPS.

Randog Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Right on! That sounds like a cool one. I've thought about gettin one of those several times. Cuz I usually need one. Do you think it's better than a tomtom? How much do you think your model retails for? R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duneraider Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 The reason she bought it is we are taking one hot lap around America next month. We'll be in alot of back woods, back roads areas finding historical sites. Also, at Glamis, she says she'll feel better riding with a GPS close at hand. --------------------- The main things I want to see are the Hundly Civil War Submarine, and a few historical battlefields, and of course, Sloppy Joes bar in Key West.
