14 DAY TRIAL // LG Electronics has launched a new Portable Navigator line in the US, including the models LN730, LN735 and LN740 that were previewed in January at this years CES event. The devices are available for sale in Circuit City stores as well as other leading electronics retailers across the country.
LG's Portable Navigator line provides consumers with the convenience of GPS navigation in a highly portable format, devices that are slim and easy-to-use offering brilliant touchscreen LCDs ranging from 3.5 to 4 inches and turn-by-turn voice guidance.
In the case of the LN740 and LN735, users will get turn-by-turn voice guidance and street name announcements, while the LN740 will also provide access to a real-time traffic information service available in 50 cities across North America.
Most likely the most advanced of the bunch, the LN740 includes a 4 inch screen that automatically changes from day mode to night mode for providing better viewing in any light condition, pre-loaded maps of the USA and Canada with millions of points of interest, access to the traffic data service through a supplied RDS-TMC antenna, music playback and more.
Also a part of the lineup is the LN730, which features a 3.5 inch screen and comes pre-loaded with a map of the US, including around 1.7 million POIs.
The device can also be used for music listening or photo viewing, includes 2D or 3D map options, day and night screen modes and a rather decent battery life of up to four hours. LG's LN740, LN735 and LN730 Portable Navigator devices are available with estimated price tag of $449.95, $349.95 and $299.95, respectively.
