| 1 | redtop012000 | magellan 4010 | Sturdy and great gps pick up | Lacks map updates since 2005 | 6 |
| 2 | ahmedalmulla4 | Magellan Triton 1500 | Waterproof, rugged, good screen | Too difficult to add maps, not alot of software support | 5 |
| 3 | nelu.goia | Magellan RoadMate 1440 | Easy to use,good display,reliable. | Poor map updates. | 7 |
| 4 | felicia.fuller | Magellan Roadmate 1212 | Text to speech. | takes long time to locate satellites. Take a while to adjust when recalculating. | 6 |
| 5 | TedL2 | Magellan 4700, 2200T | Magellan 4700: Great multiroute, lane assist, predictive and free live traffic, pedestrian mode, car locator, large screen.
Magellan 2200T: Custom POIs, good battery life, plays music/pictures, can download hiking and marine maps. |
Magellan 4700: No custom POIs, no music/pictures. Magellan 2200T: No mulitroute, lane assist, predictive or free live traffic, music only when not using navigation. | 4 |
| 6 | cguba | Magellan 3000T | Easy to use. | Will occasionally lock up and freeze which requires reboot. Takes 5 - 10 mins to warm up and boot in cold weather. Does not like car vibration or sudden bumps, freezes. Sometimes takes as long as 5 mins to find satelites and indicate GPS position on a map. | 2 |
| 7 | transitdoctor | TomTom 740, Garmin 1690 & Magellan 3100 | 740 Live - IQ Routes
Garmin 1690 - 2YR data plan included; MRC for data services is to be lower than TomTom Live services |
740 Live does not announce on which side of street destination is; it shows it visvually via an arrow. 740 Live sometimes will reboot while in use. Slow to recalculate route. | 4 |
| 8 | doru | Magellan Maestro 4040 | *Straight forward to use for most of the options
*Touch screen 16:9 wide *Seems very accurate - love also the different route options and the split screen *Bargain price last year (brand new) |
*The female voice has some off spellings. Sometimes they are funny though. *Well, its a legacy model now. | 7 |
| 9 | george4tx | Magellan 4350 | Easy to use out of the box.
Has AAA Tourbook. Has a large POI database. Fairly easy to add POI, especially with the services available here. |
Voice is a bit weak for my tastes. Tone at turns is not selectable, like some earlier models. | 7 |
| 10 | swotai | Magellan Maestro 3250 | Quick response, loud voice | can only select 1 poi file, recalc is a bit slow | 5 |
| 11 | robertclements | Magellan 4050 | Los Angeles resident.
Magellan 4050 and 6000T both with realtime traffic Kits. The 6000T is more full-featured software but slower hardware. I actually prefer its OS to the 4050. 4050 Has wider, brighter screen. |
Magellan 4050T - four click operation to get at favorite addresses. No choice on navigation voice. Only shows one personal POI database at a time. | 7 |
