Magellan RoadMate 2000

Pros: Works like a charm

Cons: Small print on the map

The Bottom Line: An excellent device for helping you find your way anywhere.

Review: I am absolutely directionally challenged, Point me in any direction and to me it's always North. Turn me around enough in my own neighborhood, the neighborhood I've lived in for almost 49 years, chat me up and in two minutes I won't have any clue as to ...

Pros: Affordable, Portable, Accurate, Easy to Use

Cons: Maps can become out of date, especially with Points of Interest.

The Bottom Line: A solid choice for a first time portable navigational system. I recommend getting the hang of this model and then trade up in a few years!

Review: For all of my adult driving life, I have been navigationally challenged. Many many times, I have had to pull over and dig out a map, to get to my destination. This has greatly frustrated me and placed me in dangerous situations. When I moved to Los ...

Pros: no subscription! accurate and easy to read!

Cons: needs a stylus. no picture viewer/mp3

The Bottom Line: I really like it. It's a safety issue for your family. Get it while it's on-sale

Review: I've never given much thought to owning a GPS until I drove 1000 miles in a van without it. I bought the GPS and have been able to find addresses I never would have been able to find. The settings are pretty easy to get used to. It's got limited color ...

Pros: easy to use, gets me from point a to point b! speedy

Cons: POI database could be better, gets confused by jughandles

The Bottom Line: Small, portable, easy to use, gets me where I need to go

Review: I moved to New Jersey about 3 years ago and have slowly but surely been figuring out how to get places. When I first moved here I asked for a GPS but they were very expensive (over $700 or so at the time). Since the prices came down over the past few ...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, touch screen, many options and very helpful.

Cons: Occasionally gives routes which seem unintuitive, sometimes needs a warm-up before orienting.

The Bottom Line: A great travel assistant.

Review: I previously purchased a much older Magellan model which couldn't even figure out where it was, and we could do nothing to figure out how to make it work. It was so arcane that we finally just gave up and tossed it. Perhaps it was defective - we'll never ...

Pros: Easy to use, gets you where you need to be.

Cons: Needs some updates. Directions can be long winded.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend it to people on a budget that want something better than written directions.

Review: "Couldn't find her way out of a paper bag". "Can't get there from here", "Doesn't know her right from her left"...o.k., that last one isn't quite true, but I have forever been known as having a horrible sense of direction. I remember moving to ...

Pros: Great tool for the road warrior

Cons: Sometimes routes you in a wide circle, but always gets you to your destination.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend having this GPS system in your car. It is easy to use and handy.

Review: I love to take a ride in the country, and in some parts of the U.S. you can become lost for hours, but with this GPS system travel becomes quite a bit more fun and you actually arrive at your destination. This GPS devise says "You have arrived!". I ...

Pros: Plugs right into your car cigarette lighter to charge. good directions

Cons: doesn't say street names and doesn't have a lot of the POIs

The Bottom Line: If this is your price range than this is your tool, if you have money to spare get a better version from Magellan.

Review: I tend to get lost a lot and this is something that just NEED. It lets you know when you need to make the turns and it tells you ahead of time. It would be nice if you could hook it up to the car speaker so the voice doesn’t get washed away by the ...

Pros: Fast, accurate, responsive, intuitive

Cons: Cannot manipulate POIs. On-line user support not good. SD card backsup only the address book.

Review: The Magellan RoadMate 2000 is a good basic GPS, sold at a reasonable price. It offers routing based upon shortest, fastest, minimum use of freeways, maximum use of freeways. The unit computed a route of over 700 miles in less than 15 seconds, and ...

Pros: Simple, Good Size, 4GB NAVTEQ storage

Cons: limited battery life

Review: This is a great little navigator. The 4GB on-board hard drive contains all the NAVTEQ maps and POIs for the lower 48 states, very convenient for traveling the country. Very comprehensive database and easily up gradable, super easy. When I bought ours ...
