Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Small, powerful and affordable, the refurbished Magellan RoadMate 2000 makes it easier than ever to get where you need to go. The device is outfitted with simple touch-screen menus, 4 GB of internal memory, and 40 built-in, interactive maps of the 48 contiguous United States, letting you select virtually any destination and enjoy voice and visual turn-by-turn directions as you drive. The 3.5-inch color touch-screen display also lets you enter an address or select a point of interest to instantly receive the best possible route using the shortest time, shortest distance, most freeways, or least freeways. And thanks to the nearly 1.3 million preprogrammed points of interest, you can quickly find gas stations, airports, hotels, restaurants, and much more.

The RoadMate 2000 comes with the SIRF StarIII advanced processing chipset, which boasts a stronger and wider search range that quickly acquires a satellite signal even in urban canyons and other traditional "no signal" locations. When time is of the essence, you can take advantage of some of the RoadMate's advanced features, including helpful technology that routes you around sudden slow freeway traffic, a multi-destination routing option, QuickSpell software that automatically completes your entry for quicker recognition, and a 3D birds-eye view that helps you clearly see your surroundings. You can even select up to 20 destinations in advance to plan out where you need to go.

Drivers are guaranteed to receive great picture quality thanks to the RoadMate's integrated ambient light sensor, which adjusts the color and contrast for easy night viewing. And should an emergency occur, you won't have to worry about being stranded; just a single touch of the screen tells you your precise location, so you can quickly notify roadside assistance or emergency services. Other details include interactive POI icons, a personal address book, and a Secure Digital (SD) card slot.

The RoadMate 2000 includes a high-impact plastic case that protects against marks and scratches, along with a built-in battery that delivers continuous use for up to three hours. Measuring 4.28 by 3.15 by 1.12 inches (W x H x D), the RoadMate 2000 weighs 7.8 ounces and is backed by a one-year warranty. This product has been refurbished to like-new condition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy, November 26, 2008

By	Todd R. Brangers "Scammed Customer" (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they refused to give me the update. This is a bad business practice. Garmin has a 60 day guarantee which is posted directly on their website in plain view.

1.0 out of 5 stars Magellan - a bomb - don't buy refurbished, September 15, 2008

By	J. Vergauwen (Oakville, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased a reburbished Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS system at a great price. The only problem was it didn't work from the beginning. I will be so much more leery about purchasing a refurbished product after this experience. Amazon was great about paying for the return postage and made it easy as there were no questions asked.

I ended up purchasing a brand new Garmin on Amazon later and love it. The key is new!

When I first purchased this magellan one of the first things I noticed was MANY missing address's. By this I mean I would try to enter an address and according the the Roadmate it didn't exist. And they SHOULD have been there, because these were not new addresses. They had been around for decades. SO I was forced to purchase the "upgrade" to get the "latest" maps. This turned into a nightmare. While attempting to purchase the upgrade from Magellans site, I was repeatedly kicked out of the purchase page. When all was done I find that I had purchased TWO upgrades. I called "customer support" where I am assured one of the orders IS canceled and that I wouldn't be charged for it. Not only did they charge me for it but sent the second order anyway.To make a long story short I have mailed the second order back and talked to Magellans customer support (which must be in another country) 10 times and I still haven't been given my money back. My advice to any GPS shoppers: AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE IT WERE THE BLACK PLAGUE. If you have to deal with their customer support, as Mr. T would say "I pity the fool".
