Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Navigation is accurate only after updating the map
Works well and accurate but only after spending about 2 hours updating the maps. The download takes about 1.5 hours (5 Mbps ATT DSL ). Don't get this unit if you don't know how to update the old maps because it is unsafe. Had to take 1 star off.

Not ready for the road!
Unboxed my new Magellan - RoadMate 6230-LM 5 GPS and first thing you want to do is update your maps. Well if you have windows 10 you can't do that the device's widget for updating your new GPS is not compatible with windows 10 and tech support tells you to update it with someone else computer with a lower operating system because they don't believe they will be improving the update system to be compatible with windows 10 operating system. Everyone always ask me, "Why buy a GPS anyway?" During my travels around the US in my RV there are many times when I had no cellphone signal. GPS is satellites not cell towers if you loose the signal you are underground that is why.

The Magellan is getting better
This is the first Magellan (I've had four) that actually knows the correct side of the street and when you've arrived at the right place. Also, the camera recording is great. I was disappointed there wasn't a carrying case included for the unit. Also, the mount bracket isn't so hot. I hope it'll last longer than I think it will. Really like the fact that I can enter s0 stops in a day. That's great.
