Because of these factors, GPS sales are on the rise, and the major GPS manufacturers are scurrying to cover all the bases and offer all of the desired features at attractive price points. While some of these devices also act as MP3 music players, show picture slideshows, and even offer Bluetooth connectivity with your cell phone, not all of us desire these frills or want to pay for things we really don't need. For those of us that just want a simple GPS navigation aid, to help us get to our intended destinations, and don't want to overwhelm our bank account to acquire such an item, Magellan offers the low cost RoadMate 1210; a no-frills pocket-size navigation device with a 3.5-inch color touch screen. The Magellan RoadMate 1210 comes preloaded with maps and points of interest for the contiguous 48 United States, as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico. from Amazon.com Does the Magellan 1210 have every bell and whistle of the the higher end Garmin Nuvi, or even the other Magellan products: No of course not. But does it provide more than adequate utility at a very competitive price point: absolutely! from Amazon.com I had to use the sattelite coordinates settings for my home. My TomTom One immediately recognized our 911 addresses and even recognizes National Forest Road Numbers. I contacted Magellan to bring this problem to their attention and was basically informed that their mapping system is different and they have no plans to update and to continue using my TomTom. What kind of company tells you to continue using another product? from Amazon.com I've been a Garmin user for many years, and this is my first experience with a Magellan GPS. Given that I'm used to a wide screen, the screen on this RoadMate 1210 seemed tiny to me, but other users who've never used a wide screen may not even notice. from Amazon.com I was provided an evaluation unit of the Magellen Roadmate 1210 Portable GPS Navigator. This is not my first experience with a portable GPS unit, I have been using a TomTom One for a couple of years. from Amazon.com This is a great value GPS that is almost identical to the Magellan 1220, which has TTS (Text To Speech), which reads off the road names for you. It's only a few dollars more, and it is well worth it. from Amazon.com I like the new Magellan 1210 GPS receiver mostly because it is so much like the Magellan 1200 I purchased for our other car. The unit is compact, so you can easily store it in your glove coparment when not in use. from Amazon.com The Magellan Roadmate is a fine GPS and will get the job done for you for a relatively low cost, but all in all, I would still recommend the Tom Tom One for the same price point. The best thing about the Magellan roadmate is the size. from Amazon.com When I offered to review this item, I knew that it was one of the low-end units from Magellan and so I didn't hold it to terribly high standards. I am accustomed to using my Garmin Nuvi 775, which admittely costs a lot more than this one. from Amazon.com I am enjoying this Magellan RoadMate. In the past I have had or still have a TomTom 100 and a Garmin Nuvi 350. from Amazon.com
