Magellan RoadMate GPS Windshield Mount Review

Magellan RoadMate GPS Windshield Mount
Average Reviews:

This is not a Magellan product as advertised. Or at least it's not the same style mount that comes with the Magellan roadmate series I have.
You have to attach this suction mount to the back of your roadmate 800's bracket ( my experience ) using screws and an adapter plate (supplied ).
Once you have done that it works like the original Magellan mount, however if you are switching from this mount, lets say in one car to another car that is using the original mount supplied with the GPS, you must remove the adapter plate each time.
The mount I just received is made in Germany and seems to be very nice quality. Taking into consideration the price, being less than half of what the original Magellan mount costs it's better to probably buy as many of these as you would need.
Thus eliminating the need to unscrew the adapter plate each time.
Over all I would recommend this product.

Mio MOOV 300 4.3-Inch Widescreen GPS Review

I need a GPS for my daugther, who got her driver license recently and have been calling home asking for direction often :-) After surveying the field I narrowed my choices down to: Garmin 260W, TomTom XL-S, and Mio Moov 300. The main selection criteria are:
1. bigger screen
2. text-to-speech
3. all gps functions, none others (e.g. bluetooth)
Since Moov 300 is fairly new and there aren't a lot reviews it is sort of a risky buy. However, since all 3 are pretty much the same functionality-wise, the tie-breaker came down to price. After a couple of weeks, here are some opinions:
Pros:
1. fairly easy to use (never read the manual).
2. find satellites almost instantly (< 15sec), even inside my house. Note that performance might vary, I can only speak from my experience.
3. Good text-to-speech, announce direction in advance. Again, I read some people complained it announced turns too late, but not yet to me. It usually announces twice, once to remind you beforehand, the other when the turn is near.
4. fast re-route
Cons:
1. Battery is weak, less than 2 hours.
2. Sometimes the route is devious.
Overall, I consider it worth the money if you are not too picky.
