LG Electronics LG LN790 GPS 4.3" Screen Portable Navigation Device

The 3D and 2D maps in­ cluded with the device cover all 50 U.S. states and Canada. It's easy to track your progress as you travel, and your next turn is easy to anticipate because you'll see the street name and turn direction on the screen. You'll also hear street names pronounced. Though the LN790 lacks an FM transmitter for listening through your car stereo, LG says that it has a headphone jack that outputs to many new car audio systems that have an MP3 player input. You can choose from ten languages--with three different accents available in English, French, and Spanish, though only one of each vocalizes the street names.

When I tried to enter destination addresses, the LN790 offered me the option of entering the street name before the city--but when I tried to do this, the database couldn't find the street. When I entered the city first and then the street, however, it found the location and was ready to direct me there. Also, the type-ahead feature is so slow that I frequently entered the wrong key, leading the device to present me with the wrong choices, which in turn required me to hit the back button and start over.
