Necessary component, but could be designed better
By R. Stanfield
The Roadmate I received from another Web-based company wouldn't stay energized due to a defective cradle power plug. When I couldn't get in contact with client aid I ordered this replacement. It works flawlessly! My only complaint is that the power plug doesn't seem any better bolstered than the original, and I hold my breath everytime the powercord puts any stress on the plug, for fear that it may break again.

Not a good design overall - external antenna not hook up to the cradle
By kel
The design of the cradle is necessitated to improve. The external antenna is not hooked up to the cradle but rather you need to connect the external antenna to the GPS unit. It is a bad design for those users who want to remove the GPS unit from the cradle whenever they park their cars.

Works well
By Emily E. Carter
I have this product and find it works well. I don't have the external antenna (the former reviewer commented on this) so it isn't a problem. We've employed the Magellan to get from Oregon to Connecticut in a 26' Rider truck and never necessitated the external antenna so not sure of the gain we would get from it. We are competent to effortlessly remove the Magellan from the cradle to store the actual GPS and are looking at purchasing a 2nd cradle and windshield mount to help even more. This way, we will only have to move the GPS and power cord amid vehicles. We don't know how we found our way around before the Magellan!
