Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Magellan RoadMate 700 

3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator overview :

The Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator offers a powerful dash-mounted navigation tool with turn-by-turn voice prompts, making it easy to get to new and unfamiliar locales anywhere in the lower 48 U.S. states and Canada (For a fee it can be loaded European maps using the Magallen web site and the included USB connection cable). It also features a bright color TFT LCD screen (2.25 by 3 inches), touchscreen input, WAAS reception (for 3-meter accuracy), and multiple ways to select your route and then view it on screen.

The Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator is one of the few GPS devices that's ready to go as soon as it's unpacked. Its whoppingly huge 20 GB internal hard drive comes preloaded with detailed road maps for all of the U.S. and the southern (most populated) section of Canada, so you won't have to fiddle with selecting map regions from a CD-ROM and having to transfer the data from a PC. If you keep your addresses on a PDA with IrDA capabilities then you'll enjoy the RoadMate's ability to upload the addresses wirelessly and point you right to your destination. In fact each of the 3 profiles that the unit keeps track of is allotted space for 100 addresses, making a total of 300 addresses available. Of course the most important address, home, can always be accessed with just a few clicks and from any menu and the Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator will guide you back with ease.

If you are planning on using the Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with an older car--make sure it has a cigarette lighter power adapter, or leave enough time to charge it up in your hotel room or office with the supplied AC power cord. This also means that you won't be able to use the Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator as a handheld device outside of your car. As for mounting, the included suction cup windshield mounting hardware is quite easy to use and allows you to mount the unit on any glass surface in your car. The RoadMate unit easily clips into the provided windshield bracket and can be tilted and turned with it's adjustable arm so you can see it easily and safely while you navigate. One of the benefits of the windshield mount is that because it's a suction cup mount you can move it in seconds from car to car with no problems at all. This newer suction cup based windshield mount is an improvement over the older three pronged mount that used to come with the RoadMate units. The older three-pronged mount was inserted into one of the middle air conditioning vents on your dash; the prongs are bendable to help you get the most secure fit, but never gave as secure of a fit as the windshield mount does.

But the Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator shines as a virtual co-pilot. During our tests, it consistently acquired a satellite lock quickly (within a minute) and displayed our current position. From there, we searched through the vast library of POIs (points of interest) to find our destination (Seattle's baseball stadium). The Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator has four different modes of getting you to your destination--shortest route, shortest distance, least use of freeways, and most freeways. Selecting shortest route got us to this venue using very practical directions that weren't far off from what we normally would choose.

If you're traveling to a destination that's not a widely known POI (such as a friend's home), no problem. You can enter the exact address into the Magellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator using the touchscreen to tap letters and numbers into several search screens--to have it create a route. (You can also save 100 destinations in the address book.

The voice prompting was clear and audible (thanks to the two built-in speakers), and we were given ample warnings for upcoming turns. One of the RoadMate's nicest features is the Repeat button (which is smallish, but the only button found on the top of the device). If you miss a turn instruction, press it to repeat the previous voice prompt. Of the three view modes, True View was our favorite--it displays a 3D street-level view that helped us orient ourselves to our surroundings.

Overall, we were quite thrilled with theMagellan RoadMate 700 3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator's features: the color screen was bright and readable even in direct sunlight and the voice prompts were clear and not distracting to our driving. Best of all, the UI (user interface) screens are easy to navigate and--thanks to its large hard drive and map database--it's ready to go as soon as you open the box. While the price is not for the faint of heart, it will be a very valuable tool for many drivers (from business folk to parents) who need to get to unfamiliar locations quickly and smoothly.

Magellan RoadMate 360 

2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator overview :

The Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator. Sporting a convenient windshield mount and preloaded maps of all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and Canada, the Magellan Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator makes vehicle navigation a snap. To get from point A to point B, simply touch the screen to enter an address or select from nearly two million points of interest (POI). Once the destination is clear, the Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator delivers friendly voice prompting and turn-by-turn guidance, helping you find your way across town or across the country. The directions are displayed in TrueView 3-D format, with three convenient guidance screens, while the voice prompts help keep your eyes focused on the road when the traffic is heavy. Plus, the POIs aren't limited to just restaurants, hotels, and gas stations; they also include such locations as grocery stores, golf courses, museums, amusement parks, parking garages, ski resorts, and more.

The Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator employs Magellan's TrueFix technology to ensure reliable accuracy within three meters. TrueFix tracks 12 GPS satellites plus two Wide-Area Augmentation Satellites (WAAS) to find your position on the map, so you'll always know where you are and where you're going. And the maps are easy to decipher thanks to the 2.9-by-2.2-inch high-resolution TFT LCD full-color display. The display's three guidance screens include TrueView, which shows a detailed view of the actual road layout, with upcoming turns and info on intersection maneuvers; MapView, with super-bright, easy-to-read, zoomable icons and text dispersed on a detailed, high-resolution map; and a Maneuver List, which tells you when and where to expect turns along the route.

Meanwhile, Magellan's Trip Planner makes it easier than ever to navigate journeys with multiple destinations. Should you need to get gas, visit the ATM, and stop by the florist before heading to the restaurant for Mom's birthday, you can simply preprogram your trip, and the RoadMate 360 figures out the easiest route. It's much less hassle than re-entering destination points after every stop. Other ways of navigating include choosing the shortest route, finding a path with the fewest toll roads or freeways, or choosing a route with the most freeways. And should one route prove problematic because of heavy traffic or a closed road, the Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator will automatically calculate a new path.

Finally, the Magellan RoadMate 360 2.9-Inch Portable GPS Navigator is remarkably easy to use. Installation is effortless--simply mount it on the windshield, plug in the power cord, and you're ready to go. The unit requires no additional wiring, and users can transfer the device from car to car or simply tuck it in a briefcase or suitcase when on the road. Once you sit down in your rental car, you'll have a comprehensive map at your fingertips. In addition, the unit automatically turns on each time you start the car, so you don't even need to mess with an on/off button.

Additional features include an address book that stores up to 200 personal or business destinations per user (for a total of 600); an Instant Locate function that immediately describes your current location, a must in case of emergency or need for roadside assistance; and QuickSpell technology, which suggests street and city matches after you type the first few letters of a destination.
