Garmin nuvi 1240 Sat-Nav GPS Navigation
October 12, 2009 | Component, Electronics, Navigation | 2 CommentsIn the case of destinations based on address, Research All option allows you to enter the house number and street name first, rather than having to start with the city. This will be useful in a number of circumstances. For example, it is not always clear how a rural village adjacent street is normally associated with, or you may not know exactly what a city street is in. As you type in the name, you will be presented with a list of options to choose from, you can click until you find one you like. This is also potentially faster than entering an address in the traditional way, even if you do not know all the details.
The free search will be more useful with the POI. Assuming you know the host city, you will always be faced with the arduous task of scrolling through categories and subcategories to find your destination, you may need to try several options before finding what you are looking for. With Garmin’s Spell POI Name option, you can simply enter the lease. You will need to spell the title of this correctly, or at least the part that you use for research. The research process is also slow. But if you try to find an attraction, especially during the holidays, and you do not know exactly what city it is near the option’s name out could be a bit of a godsend.
As the 1490T, the 1240 also supports maps cityXplorer in pedestrian mode. Although most of the settings for pedestrians will create itineraries that include road vehicles can not cross paths, mapping is usually missed many potential gaps that you may cross, leading to a more circuitous route than necessary. It will also fail to include this factor in all other major producers to travel on foot – public transport. [via trustedreviews]
