Garmin Nuvi 40 Featured On GPS Navigation Reviews Blog

Online, April 22, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Everyone has heard of GPS, and GPS systems are now built-in to a lot of vehicles. But for those of us who don't have an in-dash GPS system, there are the units or devices you can purchase and mount on your car dashboard yourself.

One of the best of these is the Garmin nuvi 40. This blog post goes into some of the details that make this such good GPS Navigation unit. Here are some of the highlights:

* Lifetime Maps. You have the option to download map updates 4 times a year with Lifetime Maps. This is so important to keep your GPS unit current. Streets and routes change and new ones are constantly being built. Without these updates your unit will be out of date pretty quickly!

* Speed Limit Indicator. Have a lead foot? This feature will help you stay within the speed limit, even if you don't notice the speed limit signs, the nuvi 40 knows the speed limit and will warn you if you're over.

* Lane Assist. Never worry about being in the proper lane for an exit or turn because the Lane Assist feature tells you well in advance and gives you a visual of the junction.

* Track Mileage and Other Trip Data. This is great for all of your information junkies, and just for the simple need to gather mileage data for business trips. This also helps you plan ahead on longer trips.

* Where Am I?" Emergency Locator If you've ever had an emergency and not known exactly where you are, you'll appreciate the importance of this. You'll be able to guide emergency assistance to your exact location.

These are just some of the many, many features of this GPS unit. There's more information on the GPSNavigationReviews.org blog. Check it out if you've been thinking about a GPS Navigation System increase your driving safety and pleasure!
