Wish I'd chosen a different brand

 

Chose this unit after checking the reviews - it was highly rated so I went ahead and bought it. Initial setup went easily enough and the unit worked well. First sign of problems came when I received a letter informing me that an upgrade was available.

Nice voice, fairly intuitive operation

Unreliable, failure prone, substandard support

Fearless driving at last!

 

I bought mine for 4 reasons: (1) road signage in Wisconsin is awful; (2) I get very anxious when I get lost; (3) the price has dropped down to around $300; and (4) most of the reviews have been very positive.

Reasonable price, user-friendly, good tech support, accurate directions, built-in

Needs more point-of-interest categories

San Diego to Canada - How'd it Do?

 

Recently I bought a Magellan Roadmate 700. To test it, I took a road trip with my family from San Diego to Canada and back. Having never been on such a long road trip, I wanted to see how it performed in places we've never been before and had no idea...

It works

Its expensive

Erase the word "LOST" from your dictionary!!

 

There are few products that simply do what they claim to do, and it's even rarer to find something as sophisticated, yet easy to use as the Roadmate 700.

They say "Turn it on and go!" ... They're right

Multiple destinations would be nice, and ability to quickly find points of interest while

$10 Road Atlas or $1200 gadget? UPDATE!

 

Logical questions to ask before dropping a bit over a grand for an electronic gizmo to essentially replace a $10 map are: "Will this thing do what I expect it to do?" and "Is the technology involved reliable, and worth the additional money compared to...

Easy to use, good ergonomics, useful gadget/toy. Cutting edge

Poor instruction/troubleshooting manual. Lots of undocumented features

It doesn't get any easier...YOU WON'T GET LOST ***UPDATES***

 

Want two reasons to thank the US government? They gave us the internet and GPS.

worry-free driving, cool factor, upgrades are worth it

spring-loaded connector fails often, the included AC vent mount is lame, sluggish
