Pros: Would be alright if Magellan could update it like other units from Shopping.com I've owned this Roadmate for almost a year. It is constantly in "thinking" mode and never updates my position quickly enough (sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes) and I've only traveled 5 miles from my last destination! from Amazon.com I love my magellan 760 roadmate. I have had it for almost three years now and it has never let me down. from Amazon.com Why you ask would I say get a Garmin? When you are navigating, there is no speed shown on the screen (big thing I miss), when you come to a turn or a destination, the device will only tell you .1 mile, not XX feet as the Garmin does. Time to destination: the 760 says XX minutes, my last Garmin showed I would arrive at 10:38am or whatever time AND show minutes to destination, but the the WORST thought up blunder of this unit is you can download music MP3 files into the device and connect to your car stereo ala mini headphone jack, BUT YOU CAN'T play the music files AND navigate at the same time, it is one OR the other. That is just BAD design IMHO. from Amazon.com The RoadMate gets the job done. It isn't the sleekest or smallest GPS but it will get you from A to B, at a very affordable price. from Amazon.com 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 They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. from Amazon.com The operating system is slow. It will freeze every once in a while. Magellan is TERRIBLE about their map updating. Magellan has TERRIBLE offshore customer support. from Amazon.com I liked some of the features, but, man, if the thing doesn't work, I'm stuck. So- I bought a Tom-Tom One from RadioShack for $150. What a deal, and way better than the RoadMate. from Amazon.com The RoadMate 760 works as expected except for a couple problems. You can't use a MAC to update the maps, only a Windows PC. from Amazon.com * Best user interface of all consumer GPS units made. This is a GPS your parents can use without even reading the instruction manual. * Improved antenna reception and map tracking performance over previous Magellan Roadmate's. * Huge map database contains even the most remote roads. from Amazon.com
