My roadmate was purchased because the price was a lot cheaper than some of the other GPSs on the market. I really don't have any problems with it, but at points it gets a little buggy when I am in a city with tall buildings.However, when that happens I just give it a minute to figure out where we are and go from there!

Have had the unit for less than a week - it now spontaneously reboots when attempting to get a satellite lock every single time! Have to ship back to Magellan AT MY COST for a refurbished unit even though I bought a new one, and they only warranty it for 1 year - once the year is up, they WILL NOT REPAIR, only offer a "discount" on a new unit. Garmin charges an outrageous out of warranty repair rate ($200 to repair a GPS that currently sells for $176) but at least they stand behind their products beyond the warranty period and build them better to begin with. It is absolutely ridiculous to spend this kind of money on something and just consider it disposable after 1 year. Pay extra for a quality product - purchase it on a credit card that doubles your warranty, and STAY AWAY FROM MAGELLAN!!!!

Very easy to use. Easily mounts to top of dash. Good display and driving directions. Great buy. Don't know why you can't get a topo version.

This is your basic GPS device that is user friendly, reliable. We're sure there are devices with more features but at our age we're happy just to know how to get there. It doesn't say "recalculating route" if you go wrong or change plans therefore you might not know right away that you missed a turn.

My husband had trouble hearing while driving when the old gps would talk and more trouble seeing the smaller screen. This is much better for our use and will get more use when going to Oahu soon.

My wife and I had never owned a GPS unit before. At our age (late70's),we
look for an easy to use and understand unit..This Magellan has both of
those qualities, and more..
