My husband is an outside salesman, so he drives A LOT. I bought this for him for Christmas last year, and I have to say, it is AMAZING! Now I want one for myself.
I had never heard of this brand before, but I got a great deal on it at Best Buy so I bought it. It is so simple to use & it really...

Well before the year was out it was broken it was saying you have arrived on the right when it was on the left little things at first then it got worse it would say turn right here when there was no street.
Finally we tried to turn it on one day and it would not fire up. I phoned as it was under one...

I bought this item for several reasons - moving to a new city, and the future possibility of making several roadtrips to and through L.A.
I first tried this on a 1 1/2 hour trip I knew well. It delivered me to my destination perfectly. I next tried it on a trip where I was not familiar with the roads and freeways. Again, it delivered me to my destination without a problem.
It announces upcoming road changes 2 miles in advance, then 1 mile (approx.), and then again at 1/2 mile, giving you plenty of time to make lane changes, even on busy freeways. The directions voice is clear and concise, and...

I paid about $100 for a refurbished of this unit 6 months ago. I owned several GPS system in the past including a $900 Garmin 8xx series as well as a Mio C310x. This Magellan simply blew away all of them. The Mio is the worst of them all. It got me lost so many times it's not even funny. The Garmin fair much better if not for the price. This unit is easy to set up and easy to use. It has features such as TTS and 4.3" screen that other more expensive units have for a very a low price. I like the user interface of this unit most. Cold start is on par with other unit and hot start...

The Magellan Gps - Reciever, my friend purchased this product. Last March we set out on a trip from Mobile to Little Rock Arkansas in a rental carl from Enterprise Car Company we were traveling to Conference that is held every year in differnt States. The conference had been held in Little Rock, at least two other times. Once we traveled on a group but and another time we had traveled in a rental car, using a driving map we had downloaded from mapquest.
She had program the GPS unit the night before. The unit was working pretty good, at each
turn or exit it would give a little beep...

No matter how many times I try to self direct (so-to-speak) I always wind up ending where I started! This device is wonderful! It tells me where to turn, what street I should be on, how long it will take. I feel safe, comfortable knowing I am where I should be. All I have to do is type in the address and off I go! It even lets me know what roadside services are available if I ask it. Example: I was playing with it and didn't know the address of a local gas station. Typed my... review »
I call her MAG (pronounced Madge) and she is my driving partner. I never miss a turn. Best thing is driving on unfamiliar roads at night or even in dense fog... the screen shows me when hidden roads or tight curves and turns are close. Mag always lets me know in plenty of time when my next turn is approaching. I just LOVE her!!!!
My favorite Christmas gift last year was my Magellin GPS from my husband. I am directionally challenged and this has relieved all the stress from driving. It is easy to program and the directions are easy to follow. I love that it beeps right when you are to be making a turn. The only problem I have had with it is keeping it on the window. I would like if it had a better dashboard attachment.
All in all, this GPS with Bluetooth is an awesome device for regular day to day life. Naviagtion is quick and entering address is also kool.
