5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best GPS available for less than $300, October 1, 2008

This review is from: Magellan RoadMate 1400 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I bought & returned 6 different GPS units including the Tom Tom, Garmin and a few others. First, when you enter the address (which is by far the easiest address-entering compared to any of its competitors) it knows where you want to go. It always brought me to the exact spot that i needed to find. It has over 6,000,000 points of interest compared to 1-2 million on every other competitor. it is small, thin and very lightweight. THIS GPS ROCKS!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gets Me Where I want To Go Plus!, January 12, 2009

This review is from: Magellan RoadMate 1400 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I'm very selective about my electronics--probably to a fault. I read the reviews from several spots on the net.
I have a Magellan Roadmate 650 which is several years old and have had no problems except I need to get new maps. I bought this 1400 for my wife. She needs things efficient and not complicated and that's exactly what this unit is. It gets her where she wants to go without complication. The video is crisp. It is loud enough to play the radio and still here and it repeats the next move if you need it to. Taking it on and off is easy. My only minor problem is that this is for a SUV and the little window adapter holder really does not extend out as far as I would like. I just hooked it up to one of the windshield holders from my 650 and it worked great. It would have been nice if the included an adapter to enable it to be plugged in to the wall outlet.

I also like that it came from Amazon. Good price plus I feel comfortable ordering from them. Anytime I have had any problem with a product it is taken care of promptly--no hassles, no questions.

This review is from: Magellan RoadMate 1400 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I read a lot of reviews AFTER I bought the 1400, and was satisfied I made a good choice when trying out the unit until It made a mistake. I read reviews because I wanted to know about how current the map info was, but couldn't find anyone mentioning that fact. I went on the Magellan web site and found that updates are done via the SD card and are around $75. My personal opinion is that the first update should be free. I am seriously considering returning this unit because I don't know how old the current map data already is. Bought the unit at Radio Shack on sale and don't know how old the unit itself is. I need a version number for the software that I can't locate to date the data. As a second con, put in home address and unit tried to send me way out of the way to go home, so that might be an indication that current map info is pretty old.
