 Mad with MagellanJul 17, 2010
I purchased this product, and even paid the one day delivery charge> Amazon did a wonderful job of customer service and I received the unit on time. However a couple of weeks later the unit malfunctioned. I contacted Magellan and sent it back to them right away per their instructions. I then received an Email from them on May 5th 2010.stating that they received the unit. I was told I would have a new unit sent to me within ten days max. It it now July 17th, I have called them numerous times and each time they tell me they will send the unit that day. I have received nothing yet. Are these people dishonest? I'm frankly tired of being lied to. they need to live up to their word and send me my replacement unit.
 Very usefulJul 16, 2010
I bought this Magellan unit for my husband for Father's Day. He's the type who never asks for directions, so this was a godsend! We recently went on an all day trip through several states, and never had a wrong turn with our Magellan. Even if you deviate from the given map, it "finds" you and re-calibrates to your new route. I would recommend playing around with the features before actually using it, to become familiar with everything offered, because there are many things we didn't know about until we were on the road. A great deal and one I would recommend.
Great productJul 14, 2010
Bought this one for my son-in-law. He had borrowed mine (bought from Amazon several years ago) and had to have one of his own. Great value, and works great!
Features OK, but easy to breakJul 11, 2010
I bought this GPS 2 years ago. It is the first GPS I have ever owned so far. So there is no comparison with other GPS products. The power USB connector broke just after the warrenty period expired. When I opened the unit, I found that the USB connector was linked with the PCB with 10 tiny pins, plus 4 soldered supports. This is not enough for a connector that is often plugged and unplugged. Plus, it is extremely difficulty to repair since those pins are too thin to solder.
I asked a professional solderer to repair it and it worked for another month before broke again.
Very bad battery lifeJul 09, 2010
I bought this gps unit in Costco. It has very low battery life. In a full charge I can only search for directions once. Second time battery runs out. I replaced unit two times, with same battery problem. Looks like bad design.
Maps are outdated, I have to check with map since many times direct me to wrong place.
Not a good recommendation.
