3 out of 5 stars GPS Systems   November 19, 2008
Douglas Miller
They are pretty easy to use, a few too many extra steps for each address entered. The extra steps should be default settings like most GPS systems are. This allowing it to be easier and faster to enter in an address. They are small and that is great. The package doesn't come with a cable to connect to the PC and that is not a easy cable to find.


5 out of 5 stars Great value!!   November 19, 2008

This is the best GPS system I have seen for under $200 and it's only about $132! Best value around! Works perfectly. No complaints.

Taxi Mom (Middle of Nowhere UTAH!)
We recently drove round-trip from Utah to Texas. I had been to Texas this summer to help with the birth of our second grandaughter. While I was there I had to drive around Houston, My son-in-law had printed off maps with directions so I could go to the hospital and other places I needed to go. The whole time I was there I was thinking of the "Dreaded Car Trip" when we were going to go back for the baby's blessing - with my husband driving. We live in a very small town (less than 500 people) and going to the city to him means going to a city of 20,000 people. Everytime we have gone somewhere when I have to read directions to him while he is navigating traffic has led to tension, cursing (on his part)and a lot of tongue biting (on my part.)
I decided to buy this GPS before we left, and I have to say it was worth 10 times what I paid! It worked great and my 16 year old son was having a ball finding out all the things it could do. We went to SanAntonio, Houston, Dallas, and a lot of other places between here and there. We got off the worng exit or made a wrong turn a few times, and this wonderful unit had us back on the right road and I never heard one bad word!!!!
This GPS was so easy to use, and I'm so glad I decided to get it!



5 out of 5 stars Gets me where I've needed to go   November 11, 2008
Giselle Rodriguez (Fitchburg, MA)
I am writing this review because other people reviews helped me choose the item that best worked for me.

The Magellan Roadmate has been great. Other then some delays when I first leave my house (because I am in the middle of the woods), it has taken me where I've needed to go. The routes are accurate, taking them the "fastest" way or the "shortest". It is pretty quick on detours and is good with Points of Interest of you dont know a street address. It is a great size, great image, and touch screen friendly. I havent used it on a very long time yet, but hope to see what it can do then.

I would definately recommend this item to anyone.
