GPS Model: 

Garmin Nuvi 1240
GPS software version: 4.40
Device rating  - Pros:  - Nice user interface.
- Slim and compact.
- Feels well built.
- Bright and responsive screen.

Device rating - Cons:  - Incomplete maps and missing addresses even with latest map update.
- Slow to start up.
- Unable to pick-up satelite reception in Lanzerote, despite having the maps.
- Does not always give the best route, e.g. if the device gives route but I take a route I know to be quicker, once I digress from the assigned route the GPS recalculates giving a quicker arrival time. So it appears the device acknowledges that my route is quicker but for some reason will always send me the longer route. I have found this to be a common problem with Garmin devices.
