Magellan - Roadmate 2000 GPS Device Review Summary

With a global positioning system, consumers never have to worry about getting lost again, but there are some GPS that certainly offer more than others and one is the Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS. With this GPS, consumers can select different trip routes including shortest distance, shortest time, and routes without freeways. Reviewers like these added features and they also like the voice commands and the colorful display. The Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS “Never Steers me Wrong”, but there are some disagreements about the Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS overall quality, with some reviewers complaining that the software is outdated and updates are expensive. These factors make the Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS a questionable GPS Device that may or may not be suitable to every consumer.

I bought this Magellan product to replace my other one, on which the power supply died after 92 days -- of course it's a 90 day warranty, and it would cost $250.00 to fix it - or buy a new one for $300. So, I bought the new one. I'm almost wishing I'd fixed the older version. I went on a trip to North Carolina, and it couldn't take me the last 4 miles to my destination. It had me driving up and down the same Hwy for 45 minutes continuouslly recalculating. The "new" roads that Magellan told me they weren't equipped to deal with were more than 5 years old. It… read full review »

We own the Magellan Roadmate 2000 and it has been a life saver to us. When we travel we just put in the places where we are headed and it takes us there using one of four means. You can select, fastest time, shortest distance, lease use of freeways, and most use of freeways. It has come in real handy when our freeways have detours or wrecks and yet we still need to reach our scheduled appointment on time. So the passenger just reprograms the Magellan to use lease use of freeways and it will get us off the freeway and use the side streets.… read full review »

When I first purchased my Magellan I did'nt know if I'd like it or not. I previously owned a TomTom that I gave to my son because I did'nt like the size, but with the Magellan it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and is very easy to use. Has more information than some other GPS and has never steered me wrong. It got me from home to Seattle,WA in record time bypassing all route detours and traffic jams, has all the latest points of interest and I could'nt ask for… read full review »

We bought this product for a road trip to ct. it was very accurate. We did get lost coming home, only because we followed directions from a friend, instead of the GPS or SALLY as we call her. Sally finally did get us home, when we put our trust in her. The only things we dont like about it is she doesnt pick up on construction work and we have had a few address that it will not take. It is very easy to… read full review »

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. —… read full review »

My Mom is 66 years old. I have let her use my Roadmate 3000T in the pasat ut the buttons gave her a hard time. She loves the 2000. It is easy to use, the battery lasts about 4 hours without recharging and it lightweight. You give up the extensive POI and Trafic Kit options but frankly I never use those… read full review »

Between constantly pulling over to reread the directions and getting caught in unexpected delays, these were of little help. This GPS does all of the work for you and then… read full review »
