Garmin Nuvi 40LM

Recently I have upgraded to the Garmin Nuvi 40LM for my GPS needs. "LM" stands for lifetime map updates, so I should not have to worry about having to pay to update the maps from now onwards.

There are free maps out there that could be downloaded onto the device, but in my opinion they are not as useful as the official Garmin maps.

The Compass and Bluetooth functions (can answer phone with the GPS unit once they are paired up) on my previous Garmin Nuvi 2465 were not very often used. As for the voice command, it was only accurate when dictating numbers and not words (maybe it was my diction that was causing the problem) but anyway it did not prove to be useful under most circumstances.
