Janet, I don’t think LG has released any map updates for it.

I dont have much experiance with these GPS units but in my opinion this thing is a useless piece of trash, Do yourself a favor and save your money.

I Bought this unit for my wife for Christmas 2007. I Was shopping for a Tom Tom but was attracted to the price of the LG. I never knew LG made GPS’s but I knew in general they made a good product So I went home, read Some decent reviews on it and purchased it. She only used the thing on long trips and it spent most of its life in the protective case in the console of her car. Needless to say the thing died about 18 months later. Just would not turn on no matter what we did. I tried multiple power supplies and tested them with a multimeter, nothing. I was pist as hell but in a way glad to have an excuse to buy a new one. This thing was good if you had no clue where you were going because it would EVENTULLY get you there, it would take you an ass backwards out of the way route but you did end up at your destination. Many times this thing would take me 15 – 20 miles out of the way and add 30+ minutes to the route. One time going from Central NJ to Long Island NY about 80 miles, this thing wanted me drive through back streets versus taking the Long Island Expressway (Growing up in NYC I knew this would be a huge mistake and stuck with the L.I.E) (This is the fastest and shortest routes and I did not have it set to “Avoid Highways”) For a long road trip would go to Map Quest and print those directions and use those until I got a couple miles from my destination then turn the volume on this thing to navigate me once I got off the highway.

As Far as the Point of Interest, those are useless too. In my immediate Area it had Restaurants in there that Closed and were torn down as far back as 1995 (Yes, you are reading that right 1995)

This will work with Vista if you download Windows Mobile Device Center from Microsoft’s site.

I was looking to buy a used LG735 for 80.00$. I was lucky to find these comments before I made a mistake. My first choice was for Garmin 250 or a tomtom one. Thanks to all of you that made comments.

I will really really stay away from LG on GPS. Their support for this product is pathetic at best and non- existence at worst. Their software has a defect that pronounce North East (NE) as \Nebraska\. When I contacted LG to find out if they have new software update or if they can fix this problem, they wanted me to pay them $45 to \look\ at it. Also, I could not find any map update from the website that they directed me to.

In reply to James Dec. 5th.

I just talked to customer service, they stated that you can only get the updates through a thrid party company. I actually lost my “DISK 1″ of the 2 disk install set. and I can not download nor can I purchase nor can I get shipped for free a new “DISK 1″. Meaning I can not plug my unit in to my computer. Map updates are not avaiable nor are any firmware/bug fix type updates.

The volume is nowhere near loud enough if you have windows open, Maps are very outaded. Entering the model number LN735 into thier support search does not even see it as a vaild model number. Yea thats helpful.

If you are evening thinking about buying an LG nav don’t. I do like my flat panel tv but this nav support is garbage.
