Magellan GPS Review
By. Aristalina
Magellan GPS, a company established in 1986 to specialize in GPS-related products is a direct competitor of Garmin GPS and Tom Tom GPS. Basically, Garmin GPS produces the most number of units available. How does the Magellan GPS compare with these models? The Product Lines
The first Magellan GPS that is designed for automobile navigation is the Magellan Maestro. The mid-range models of Magellan GPS offers respectable capabilities as well.
Aside from the Magellan Maestro, the company has produced the Magellan Roadmate product line as well. Other GPS units within the Magellan Roadmate product line include the 2000, 300, 3050, 360, 700, and 800 among others.

Magellan Roadmate
Is it any wonder that the Magellan Roadmate series includes prime features for easy navigation and easy use?
The Magellan Roadmate series consists of several models of handheld GPS devices for the North American continent including the United States. The common features include six million points of interest (POI).
- Auto NightView? is a nifty feature of the LCD display that will allow the Magellan Roadmate to automatically adjust color and contrast for low light or no light situations.
- Address Books are available on all of the Roadmate GPS systems. Each Magellan Roadmate comes loaded with very detailed maps for the countries of North America, plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Customizable routes are a reality with the Magellan Roadmate GPS, and some models allow up to twenty locations loaded at a time!
For everyday life, excursions into traffic or your own little epic adventure, the Magellan Roadmate GPS is a fantastic buy!
The new Magellan RoadMate 1412 portable GPS navigator
All but the most basic GPS navigators include Points Of Interest, but this Magellan portable GPS unit indicates POI exits, a great capability that can save a lot of time and hassles, especially when you’re driving alone.
Adjusting volume to compensate for road noise, radios, or talking passengers can be a real bother with some portable GPS navigators, but volume for the Magellan Roadmate 1412 can be easily controlled on the map screen.
If you’re a non-technical type like me, you’ll appreciate the intuitive menus which include routing options such as shortest time, shortest distance, staying on freeways, avoiding freeways, or avoiding toll roads, among other choices.
