The LG LN740 utilizes a brilliant, four-inch touch-screen LCD display with 320 x 240 pixels of resolution and 260,000 colors. This screen provides you with clear, selectable 2D and 3D map views and menus that are easy to read at a glance, and features auto zoom, and day and night views that you can manually switch to, ensuring you can see no matter what your lighting conditions. And not only does this navigator quickly display your routing based upon your user-selected preferences, but provides you with turn-by-turn voice guidance with 16 different language options, even announcing street names so you can keep your eyes on the road during more stressful driving circumstances. As an added convenience, the LN740 also provides you with text-to-speech voice guidance in English, Spanish or French. And especially important to the daily commuter, this unit provides you access to Traffic Information Service (comes with a free 90-day trial), so you can outsmart road delays with access to real-time traffic information in 50 North American cities.

Pre-loaded with complete maps of the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada, the LN740 comes ready for you to travel throughout North America right out of the box. This navigator even includes millions of POIs (points of interest) so you can quickly find restaurants, gas stations, airports, hotels, ATMs, and other important nearby services, and instantly route to them with a simple tap on the screen, giving you local expertise at your fingertips. And while you are getting there, the LN740 provides you with speed indication, estimated time of arrival, and distance to your destination. This unit also provides you with a multi-stop planner, detour options, fastest and shortest routing options, and an automatic route recalculation, as well as vehicle and pedestrian navigation modes so you can take it with you when you are out of the car and walking the last stretch.

More than just a convenient navigation device, the LN740 has a built-in MP3 music player so you can take all your favorite songs with you to listen to on the road. What's more, this unit includes a photo viewer that allows you to bring you family photos with you, or view your favorite pictures from the trip while you are still on vacation, and even play them as a digital slide-show while travel. The music player accepts both MP3 and WMA digital music formats, while the photo viewer can display either JPEG or BMP digital pictures. And though the controls and menu system are extremely simple and intuitive, if you need a bit of assistance, this unit provides a handy on-screen help system.

The LN740 achieves fast, and highly accurate mapping with a strong signal reception via its SiRF Star III GPS receiver, and provides you with up to six hours of use from its rechargeable, internal lithium-ion battery. The LN740 comes with 2 GB of internal flash memory for storing maps, POIs, MP3s, and photos, as well as including an SD card slot for unlimited memory expansion, a USB port for fast data transfers from your PC, and an FM RDS-TMC antenna jack for receiving real-time traffic information. The stylish black-on-black LG LN740 navigation device weighs only 0.44 pounds, measures just 4.5 x 3.5 x 0.7 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.
