5Wonderful evolution of the Magellan line
By Comdet
I've been a Magellan user for assorted years - have owned four of their GPS systems, and always be grateful for how they have bettered their products. This unit is my 5th, and replaces a Magellan 4040. After using it for a while I've convinced in saying this is the best one yet!

3Great screen, and lots of POIs but needs to catch up to rest of the GPS market
By Mary Jo Sminkey
I've employed a number of GPS navigators, distinctively Garmin and TomTom units. I am presently using a Garmin Nuvi 265WT and I in general find Garmin to give me the best set of features and performance for the price, though I've not found their schemes to be in particular reliable, my basi necessitated to be sent for repairs twice and the one I am using presently often reboots itself randomly, exceptionally right when I commence it up, and ofttimes the sound fades out for no reason. So I'm always on the hunt for something that will work even better. This is my initial experience with a Magellan RoadMate model, and I was fascinated to see how it compared. I've only been using it for a few weeks, so I can not report on long-term reliability, but will post follow-up remarks if I run into any troubles in the future.

5My PT Cruiser will never be lost again!
By PT Cruiser
My former experience with GSP navigators has been in rental cars when journeying a lot of years ago. I've forgotten who made the units, but I thought they were more disturb than they were worth, attempting to figure out how to use them and then dealing with all their weird little quirks.. I do not forget one time up in the Seattle area being on the freeway when the device told me to get off at an exit that was regarding 20 feet away with 3 lanes of traffic amongst me and the exit - no warning prior to that. Then it kept repeating over and over again that I had missed the exit. I was ready to pour my Starbucks coffee over the thing and I never wanted a GPS device after that.
