Magellan - Roadmate 2000 GPS Device Reviews

I bought this GPS to help me when I was a traveling saleswoman. Definitely MUCH better than online maps and directions printout! The GPS is easy to use and fits perfectly on my dashboard. It's big enough for me to properly see where I'm going, but not too big that it obstructs my view of the road.

The voice commands are great, it helps me pay more attention to when I should start getting back in the right lane on the highway before it's too late. The only thing is that at times, the voice commands and screen instructions do not match the actual map instruction. For example, I see the road highlighted...

We  got this GPS as a gift for Christmas.  After a long road trip of using an Atlas and the GPS on our iPhones, we decided that we needed a real GPS for the car.  This was particularly true when we were driving through areas that did not have cell service and being in the middle of no where with no land marks and we wanted to know how far we were from our next destination. 

It does not seem to be able to locate us if we are in a building (like when we first opened it we were in the house, or in a parking garage) and since we park in the garage at night we have to remember to stop the car long...

Simply put, this GPS is AMAZING! I love this thing. I have gotten my moneys worth 10 times over. It is a reat gift for someone as it is pretty expensive. It actually gives you directions, phone numbers, and helps when you need it the most.

I travel solo for a living so you can imagine how helpful this has been for me. I cannot believe I waited so long to finally ask for one.

 One negative point that you would never think of is that it loses satellite reception in the city. I recently traveled to L.A. and Chicago. Living in Florida, you don't have those skyscrapers and even being near...

I really like this GPS, especially it's portability. It gives audible turn by turn directions and is very easy to read in different lighting. However, two big draw backs. 1. When you turn it on, it sometimes "remembers" it's last location and tries to give you directions from there. It corrects itself, but sometimes might take up to 15 minutes to do so. Which really stinks if you're in a hurry. 2. I bought it a year ago and it's maps were already about a year out of date in my area (Phoenix). I went to go update it and it was $80!!! About 2/3 what I paid for it. So, that means I'm just going to...

Sooo very easy to use and understand. I have used one is the past that after messing with it trying to up in my destination, I ended up with a big headache, frustrated and no directions. This one is simple and a delight. The voice makes driving safer, no need to look down at a map or directions, just listen for the voice and you are given advance notice of your next turn giving you plenty of time to change lanes etc.
