Let's start with the positive aspects:
(+) The Navi does not have to look far to find a satellite, as well as at higher-priced devices thoroughly before is the case. In general, the Garmin nüvi 140 T has been found within a good minute to receive and is ready for operation.
(+) It turned out in my tests as able to reliably select the fastest route, of course always with the swabs, one must concede a Navi against a local guide. In addition, you can also opt for the shortest route or the kraftstoffsparendste; the shortest route I would never select to my usual experience with navigation devices, however. It is also good that you can steer clear of as U-turns, highways, toll or unpaved roads, etc. by certain preferences, so that you can handle awkward situations while driving.
(+) The use of Navis opens up basically by himself, and in ten minutes you should have explored and developed the main functions of the device. The menus are clear and controlled both by the arrows on the edge as well as directly by scrolling on the screen.
(+) What you get on the screen, you can influence to a large part itself. Those who want to necessarily have a small blue car instead of an arrow, it leaves just the factory default; but other symbols are possible. More important is the design possibilities of the cockpit so you can select, for example specifying the still facing a kilometer or hide them well.
(+) The lane assistant is neat and helps the driver to keep the orientation in multiple tracks. At motorway exits, the exact name of the label appears fortunately. In this context it should also be highlighted that the name of the street, turn into the next is whether stands in a bar. It is easy to read in spite of the rather small screen size.
(+) The Navi also provides information about major traffic jams, which can then, depending on your taste, bypassed or visit.
(+) The fixture I feel when it has been once put together, as to handle extremely well. With a quick flick of the wrist the Navi leaves after driving out of the holder solve, and also makes the suction cup neither during application nor in removing problems.
As neither particularly good nor particularly bad, I would the color scheme of the map to assess but this is certainly a personal taste issue. The same is probably true for the factory-set voice Steffi who sounds as if you are married thirty years with her. I have switched to the English version of Kate, after I had previously tried Marie that sounds a little odd at all now, and I liked this better because it does not sound so sleepy. However, Kate can say no street names. About the screen size, I have already made a critical remark above yes, but we must also be guided in this regard just the price of Navis in mind, and then the screen size is absolutely appropriate.
Another point that has me neither thrilled nor horrified, were some of the partly filled with apps that I think is not necessary.
As a negative review I can so far actually cite only a single point, which is, however, really annoying. Very useful is normally the warning, which preserves the driver not to disregard the speed limit in the pleasant monotony of the route. However, when he heard once exceeded only by a slight top speed is often produced in one or two kilometers per hour too much, then it is actually useful additional function into a pesky ordeal. This is the Garmin Nuvi 140 T unfortunately the case, which is why I have turned off after a cross-country trip and I'm not a speeder for even grudgingly this feature.
Conclusion: For the price you have nüvi 140 T bought the Garmin a Navi, which leaves something to be desired and certainly little that one can effectively bring to your destination. For the speed-sensitive to Warner I want deduct a star, but otherwise there are no serious objections.
