Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Works right out of the box. No programing required like other units. Weakness: Poor mounting bracket. However I called Magellan and they sent two windshield mounting brackets for free including shipping. This is a great unit. Very easy to use. (I have never looked at the owners manual) As for the previous review, if I want to know how fast I am going I look at the speedometer on the dash or my HUD. The Magellan tells you when and where to turn. This unit has saved me a lot of heartache within the first week of ownership. How much easier can it get? The only time I am interested in altitude is...

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Easy to use, Display is very easy to see, fairly easy to input destination. Voice directions give you plenty of time to change lanes. Weakness: At first there are no directions. It says proceed to route but if you don't know how to get to the route?? On that same note, the other day since I didn't know how to get to the route, it just let me When I first took it out of the box it thought I was in San Francisco (I live in Los Angeles). I thought maybe in would lock onto a satellite and adjust itself but it didn't. There is nothing in the book that tells you what to do in this case. I found but pressing buttons that there is a diagnostic and you can put in your current location & then it was fine. After that it knows where I am at all...

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Has the entire US address database built in; very good screen resolution Weakness: Lame implementation of map data and gps abilities. No choices available to set up what information is displayed. Graphical fonts for adjacent roads are difficult to read. This could have been a contender! Any GPS knows the instanteous speed, altitude, direction, up-comming cross streets and time of day. But YOU CANNOT SET THIS UNIT TO DISPLAY THAT INFORMATION! In contrast, even the Garman III+ will let you choose what information is shown (and continually updated) on the screen. The Roadmate 700 offers no choices. The menus are shallow. You have to stop navigating...

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Ease if use, programming. Weakness: Would like to see exit numbers as part of display information. I purchaed this GPS in July 2004, and have used it professionally ever since. I own and operate an executive car service and this GPS is without questions a very valuable tool to have. It took me longer to figure out the mounting bracket than it did to operate the actual controls. Once I actually read the manual, I was up and running in no time. I now use the GPS even when I KNOW where I am...

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Easy to use. Plug and go. Pleasant voice Weakness: Does not give the exit number on highway. No process to update map yet. Extremely useful when you go to a place that you have never been before. Advance warning is good, allowing you to prepare to turn. Excellent for night driving. I would recommend to anybody who does not want to get loss

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: Worked flawlessy out of the box. Contained windshield mount, USB and power cords for vehicle and home. Great in unit demo pre loaded as are all maps. Weakness: No troubleshooting matrix in product manual. After considerable research comparing Garmin 2620 and the Roadmate 700 I am very pleased with my deciding on the 700. Turned out to be about $80-100 more expensive but so far it is terrific. One word of caution, if you travel in excess of 250-300 miles from your starting point you may have to adjust the GPS. You will know if you are not getting a signal. Good product, to bad its French.

Magellan Roadmate 700 GPS ReceiverStrengths: - Clear, easily readable screen - Simple, intuitive interface - Usually gives good directions Weakness: - Can be slow to pick up location when first turned on - Windshield mount does not hold as well as it should - At times, visual directions are better than voice direction. I bought the Magellan for my wife. We just moved to a new area neither of us know, she is a "chicken" driver (won't drive where she hasn't previously been escorted to), and she has a poor sense of direction. She is not technically proficient either. She learned how to use it very quickly with almost no help from me. By the end of the first week, she was calling me at work to tell me how she was...

Nice GPS at last.Strengths: Accurate and shows step by step directions if the signal is lost (in tunnels, etc.) Weakness: Docking station can be better (hard to attach the GPS) and no battery power. After using Garmin Street Pilot III, Navman iCN510, and Palm GPS product, this is by far the best. After almost a week, I am quite pleased with this product. You can get it for under 500 bucks on eBay or at BJ's Wholesale Club. You can also get a SW upgrade for $99 that will give you all the functionality of the 760 model costing few hundred more.

Could be good but mine is notStrengths: Good navigation, graphics, voice, very easy to use. Weakness: Not very customizable, hissing sounds, sound stops working, touchscreen stops working. Overall product design is good. But I believe there are some serious quality control issues. It makes hissing sound straight out of the box. Many times the sound just stops and you have to reboot to have sound again. Once the touchscreen stopped working. And I've only had it for a couple of hours... Overall: If you are lucky enough to get a properly functioning unit, it is a good buy.

Magellan RoadMate 700
A good piece of kit, if price allows, but if you have a PDA, you might want to cut the expense and try your luck with a PDA driven device. TopAdvertisement

Weakness: - none of significance
I have had several auto navigation systems because I am a toy freak AND I had not found one that worked for me! I have tried Pioneer, in-dash, even PocketPC NavMan. Enter the Magellan RoadMate 700! I could not ask for more. The maps are up to date and accurate. Driving directions are right on with my position. The lcd is viewable in all lighting. You do not have to sit in your drive waiting for...
