Garmin nüvi 42LM Automotive Mountable

Bought is used on Ebay

At first, I wondered if I should have bought a gps which had voice recognition. The nuvi 42 LM does not have it. However, for my use, it was not worth the extra money. I am completely happy to enter an address into "favorites"
manually.

Weaknesses -- maybe there is a solution I have not found: 1) As you arrive at a "go to" destination, I wish the house address appeared on the screen. In that way you would not have to remember if the house 100 ft. away
on the right or left is the house you want. 2) When I enter a new address into "Favorites", I have to backtrack
(arrow back) and start over in order to put in the phone number via "edit". I'm not sure if that is my problem or
a Garmin nuvi 42 LM issue. Otherwise, I really like this gps. One aspect I really like is when I am at an address,
I can see if there are other addresses in the immediate area listed in my "Favorites".Read full review

Good, not Great

Pros: Good backup for phone, easy to see, easy to hear, speed indicator is nice
Cons: Can't find the satellite - takes forever to start up a lot, does not recalculate quickly as in past versions.

Bonus Lifetime Maps Upgrade

This GPS is a typical Garmin product, meaning its one of the better models in the GPS marketplace. It's features and use is intuitive for the most part. The signal is acquired reasonably quickly, the screen is clear and bright and it has a good range of features and options.Read full review

Exellent

I have used 3 or 4 Garmins and I like this one best of all. I don't like to spend too much for my GPS and make a game of getting all I can for the least I can spend. The 42LM fits this description.

Great Value!

Purchased this to replace a 42LM with a cracked screen. Great little unit, I particularly like the split screen display. Voice is a little irritating - too "mechanical." But great value for the money.Read full review

Used it on a two week vacation and malfunctioned on day, but worked fine the following days. Not as easy to use as my old Garmin.

Touchscreen is non responsive most of the time. Waste of money. Look for something better! Im already shopping for a new one!

Works great and was exactly as described.

This item was "as advertised". It worked as expected and is in new condition. It was necessary to download and update maps which was to be expected considering the age of the GPS. All-in-all I have no criticism of this product. I would have like a little better price, but that could be said of most things.
