The Garmin nuvi 44 series includes the essentials. This street navigator includes a 4.3-inch 272×480 pixel color touch screen, high-sensitivity receiver, maps of the U.S. and Canada, microSD card slot, spoken street names and turn-by-turn directions, lane-assist, and emergency location. If you don’t want lifetime traffic or maps and are happy with a 4.3-inch screen, this unit saves you money.
For a few dollars more, you can get the nuvi 44LM with lifetime maps, and the nuvi 54 series upgrades to a 5-inch screen and is also available with and without lifetime maps. If you don’t need maps of Canada, you can save a bit of money with the nuvi 42 and 52 series.
