but, sadly, it may get returned. Yesterday I purchased a Garmin nuvi 260 for $[...] more than this unit cost, and I hope to decide within a few weeks which one to keep. I would have no problem keeping the Magellan, except I've realized after a whole summer of usage that I just don't trust the thing! Pros of the Magellan Roadmate 1340: from Amazon.com This item does not seem to be receiving a signal, so may have to return it. from Amazon.com I bought the Roadmate 1340 a couple months ago. It worked OK right out of the box. from Amazon.com I was prepared to like the 1340, having used many Magellans in the past. However, the spoken street names on the 1340 I tried were muffled/garbled, unintelligible and usually late. from Amazon.com tells you if your in the right lane on a freeway when coming up to many exits small and light so I can tuck into my fanny pack when I leave my car from Amazon.com Magellan does not support Apple computers, so if you are one of the growing number of people using a Mac, look elsewhere. Otherwise you'll have a GPS you can never update. from Amazon.com I have used a Garmin of some sort over for the last several years and admit that I am partial to that brand. However, after doing a side by side comparison between an older Garmin and the Magellan RoadMate 1340 I can say both devices get you where you're going and both have good features not available on the other device. I took a trip from Dallas to Austin and had both devices operating at the same time. from Amazon.com Magellan Roadmate 1340 The Magellan 1340 is one of the low to midrange GPS units available. from Amazon.com Over the course of the last eleven years, I have owned and personally used five different GPS devices. Beginning with an old Delorme Earthmate GPS that had to connect to a latop via serial cable, then a couple of HP iPaqs with GPS capabilities, and more recently I've used a Navigon 7200. The Magellan Roadmate 1340 is the newest GPS device I've used. With the experience I have using a variety of GPS devices, this review will be very comparative. from Amazon.com Being a first time GPS user, I was intimidated by the Magellan Roadmate 1340. My hubby read the directions & explained them to me. from Amazon.com
