Magellan Roadmate 1200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) Review

Nice software and voice instructions. The major problem is the slow recalculation. This becomes an issue when you are in the crowd. If you got out of track, the GPS acquires your current location, then starts recalculating, which takes about one minute!. Since you are moving (remember, you are in the crowd!), the route is always outdated. The GPS then starts to get into the crazy mode of recalculating, re-re-calculating!. The way out is to find a parking area to stop and let it do the job (sometimes you may need to restart to force it to recalculate the route).

Magellan RoadMate 2036 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

My first GPS (Garmin 255wt) was stolen, so there went $170 and a window. Then I went to Garmin 765, which was ok, but I didn't like what I paid for Bluetooth that didn't work well. Then I went to a Garmin 1250, which was basic, but somewhat slow and worthless. In March I fell for the Motonav, which was awesome, except for the fact that it couldn't recognize a traffic jam on I95 if it was sitting in it for an hour. That went back, then I used the 1250 until I found the TomTom XL 350. TomTom has the best traffic and the smartest routes, but.... yeah, the fun ends there.
So, after 8 months, I decided to try the Magellan 2036. Lifetime traffic and a great price, plus lots of features, so what the heck? Oddly, the first sales guy at BestBuy way back when recommended Magellan to me, but I went Garmin. Lets just say I won't be buying another GPS for awhile.
In a nutshell, I really can't name anything I dislike about this unit, which is amazing, because I am picky. Fast satellite acquisition? CHECK! Great user interface? CHECK! Smart routing? CHECK! Excellent traffic interface? CHECK! It just does everything right. Garmin has a nice UI as well, but the Magellan is just a cut above.
Some highlights:
- The ONE TOUCH screen is awesome. Add favorites, searches, etc., all accessible from hitting one button. This is a simple item that you will use endlessly.
- POI searches are fast and the presentation is gorgeous. Search "coffee" and you not only get Starbucks, Dunkin, etc., but you also get their logos. The logos are great. Makes it easy to see what is what and they are just snazzy.
- AAA searches and reviews are also very nice, but not as expansive.
- The user interface is great. Touchscreen is responsive, keyboard is nice, everything flows.
- Scrolling the map and changing views couldn't be easier.
- Magellan 3D view is superior to all others.
- Map scrolls and zooms are super fast. Movement is always smooth.
- Plenty of options and they easy to find and set.
- The mount is easily the best of the bunch!!
Negatives:
- POI searches are static, while Garmin and Motorola update as you drive. Minor niggle.
- Can't change the triangle to a car or the voice to something sexy and British.
- NAVTEQ traffic instead of Clear Channel, but the NAVTEQ on Magellan somehow crushes Garmin. I can't explain it.
I got this on sale for $129. It was a steal and I'd recommend it to anybody.

Magellan RoadMate 1200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Don't get me wrong I know this is a very feature limited unit and I am one of those people who can find their way around just about anywhere without a paper map. I have a built in compass and can get the feel and layout of a metro area in less than a day, so I was pretty skeptical about the utility of these devices. boy was I wrong. Without a doubt its pretty useless, for instance, on I-95 going from New York to Miami - its pretty hard to get lost on one thousand miles of straightaway, but the great thing about this is when you have to go off path. Everyone would prefer to skip the roadside gas stations and pull off into Florence a couple miles to find gas at local retail as opposed to full pit-stop price, or how about a better meal than McDonald's, maybe your wife would prefer to stay at a seaside hotel in Savannah instead of the Motel-6 along the interchange? You don't have to worry about getting lost or detoured by unfamiliar terrain anymore. No more missed turns, looping round-abouts, one way dead ends. Sure, you still have to use your common sense with the gadget, but the only time I missed my destination was when I failed to make the turn it recommended because it didn't look right. This small, low feature unit is all you need - and by the way - the screen has tremendous zoom in - out ability. If you have a trip coming up BUY ONE TODAY!
