Magellan RoadMate 1200

Pros: Simple, Clean, Intuitive, Inexpensive

Cons: Map Upgrades, Exit POI's

The Bottom Line: For anyone who wants to know how to get from A to B with no frills...this is PERFECT

Review: Right off the bat, I'll be honest, I didn't really intend to buy this. For some time now I've been wanting a GPS, but I didn't have the money for it and I didn't want to buy a new car. But I am a technology junkie, so it was intriguing.

Pros: Intelligent software High sensitivity antenna Orientation-aware even when idle

Cons: Bad Display Too soft sound Hard-to-reach power button

The Bottom Line: Has its strong and weak points. It's good idea to test-drive for couple of days and compare with competing unit.

Review: VERY disapointed in this unit. It was so slow at calculating routes that EVERY time I started a new trip, I would pull out of a parking lot up to the first spot where a turn was required, and it would not tell me which way to go. It was also very...

Pros: Overall a decent unit for my first auto GPSn while it lasted

Cons: Sytem Crashed/locked-up after 15 months. After warrenty, Magellan doesn't repair.
Car charge cord is short.

Review: Magellan 1200 road mate, Paid $149 at circut city in 2008.
basic function for the price at the time.
Prices have dropped significantly since then. Wanted $70 to upgrade maps after one year. Bulky window attachment, and cord was short.

Pros: cheap does the job

Cons: more poi would be nice

Review: just want to use the prep bowl for some herbs.

The multipurpose blade works great for pureeing and mixing together things like dip, spreads, or veggie burgers/falafel, that sort of thing. I have also used it to grind up chicken breasts...
