Garmin nuvi 40

The Garmin nuvi 40 is a 4.3” navigator in Garmin’s new 2012 Essential series. The models in this series are meant to be basic navigators at a budget price, lower than what we’ve previously seen for Garmin entry-level models. Nevertheless, they do come with some features not previously found on low-end nuvis, such as speed limit display, lane assist and junction view.

Drop down to the nuvi 30 and you’ll get the same features, but with a smaller 3.5” screen

Step up to the nuvi 40LM, to get the 40’s feature set and 4.3” screen, plus lifetime map updates

Or move up to the nuvi 50 to get an ultra-wide 5” screen
