Garmin 1340, by Stan Jones on 06/11/2011

Met my expectations

I recently bought this Garmin 1340 which has turned out to an abomination. It emits a bleep where there is, or has been, a speed camera. Yesterday while driving along the M50 it continually bleeped because it told me that cameras were in use enforcing a speed limit of 40 mph. The legal limit was 70 mph. There has never been a limit of 40 mph on this 20 mile stretch of motorway in living memory. So much for being up-to-date! It wouldn't be so bad if I could have turned off this annoying feature. As far as I can see that is not possible. I bitterly regret buying this device and I will dispose of it as soon as I can. Come back Tomtom - all is forgiven!
