    This is my 3rd Magellen, and I find these very easy to use and very accurate. For a unit with lifetime maps, this was priced very reasonably. I have also experienced good customer service with Magellen, which is another reason I feel comfortable recommending this product.

    it took a bit to get used to using this one. once we figured out what everything did it was pretty easy to use. it is frustrating when the addres you want to enter is not available because of the qwerty text - i tried turning it off and it still stayed on.

    I like the GPS features and available updates but the map does not always show directions soon enough. Changing the plus/minus goes back to default right before turn. Also, power plug in on wrong side. Almost made for passenger use not driver.

    Voice is not loud enough, volume not adjustable. Announces destination in street address terms, not by the name as the other Magellan did. Otherwise, good for the amount paid and for the simplicity of getting from point A to B.

    I love this GPS so much that I bought 2. One for my husband and one for my child and I may be buying one for my sister and myself as well. This product is easy to use and has a number of features that make it fun to use. I highly recommend it!

    This is my 3rd Navi, my first Magellen. The address entry is much faster on the Magellen, and the help while navigating is better - it provides extra details like "just after the gas station". It also just makes a little 'ping' exactly when its time to turn which is much more effective.than repetative voice instructions. I take it with me to use when I travel to CA and it is much faster at adapting to the new location. Lifetime map updates are a bonus, at the price

    As a GPS goes, it's head and shoulders above Garmin, but still doesn't give adequate warning about lane shifts or changes. However, every other GPS doesn't do any better.

    While on vacation our old GPS stopped working, so we ran into Best Buy and purchased the Megellan RoadMate that was on sale. Great investment and easy to use out of the box.
