The 1475T and the 1700 are priced similarly; almost all the features included with the 1475T may be found with 1700 also.

In the following sections, I will illustrate sure finer distinct elements of the Magellan RoadMate 1475T in comparison to the RoadMate 1700.

The Magellan RoadMate 1475T wins over the contender by including the provision to insert a memory card.

Sadly, life is unjust and you will have to trade in the battery power for the display screen size. The case of this GPS device is fictitious from high affect plastic.

1Swing and a miss
By Greg Scott
I had genuinely high hopes for this GPS. I shopped for rather awhile and owned a Garmin that was due to be altered but decisive to replace the unit rather than recompense to upgrade. After reading a lot of reviews of the Garmins with quality control issues I opted to give Magellan a try. I have owned the unit around 2 months. I took a trip from Indianapolis to Santa Fe, NM and used the unit the entire time. Last weekend I drove from Indy to Chicago and back again. I guess I have applied it when it comes to 3000 miles and here is my impression.
