Do Not buy from Magellan Navigation, Inc.  (actually, Thales Navigation Inc)

We purchased the voice feature for the GPS online and it didn't work so we called fro a refund.  Their policy is NO REFUNDS


We asked for their address and or phone number of their company and they REFUSED to provide it.

Before thinking of buying their product I would highly recommend you try to find the name and phone number of their Main Office - they are in hiding... you won't get it.  If you do, please email me at darrelln99@aol.  Need the name of their CEO so we can take him to small claims court and get our money back.

Don't buy Magellan...they have a scam going. Database is outdated and $79.95 to update it in Referbished units. 5 emails and 1 hour and 4 minutes on phone..no satisfaction

I would like to say that I recently purchased a Magellan 4040 GPS unit and when I started to use it, I quickly find that the database is obsolete. I emailed Magellan and contacted them by phone to discuss this matter. They tell me since I purchased a refurbished unit that they cannot offer free database update. The cost of the database update on a new refurbished unit is $79.95. What a rip off....don't buy Magellan GPS units. They are only a scam.
