Magellan RoadMate 2200T Car GPS Receiver

Review: Just got the unit tonight.. Looks good. Easy to use. I have read that Magellan doesn't update their maps very often, so that is a concern for me...but the jury is still out. My mother-in-law saw it tonight and told me to go pick her one up. Got it...

The Bottom Line: The most inexpensive GPS unit with text-to-speech is a solid all-around performer.

Review: I've never owned a GPS unit before, so I spent a lot of time researching the various models before choosing this one. My reasons for doing so were a combination of price (Buy.com has refurbs for $169) and the fact that it offers text-to-speech...

The Bottom Line: Great device; gets you where you need to go, even if you make a wrong turn; the voice guides you without having to look down to see the map.

Review: I've had this Magellan for about a month. It took a few trips to learn how it works. The good: It was fairly easy to learn. It easily slides into a pocket or purse. The voice instructions are thorough and very useful -- you hardly need to look at...

Review: Holy cow, what a Piece of garbage this device is...very disappointed with the performance. First, I purchased this with version 1.62 or 1.68, I can't remember exactly which version, which contained the address of my home, but would unexpectedly...

The Bottom Line: Very disappointed. Not anywhere near as good as the Lowrance iWay250c which is only half the price.

Review: Having read the positive reviews, I ordered the Lowrance iWay250c ($200) from TigerDirect last-minute (7 days before I left) before my trip across western Canada.
I was counting on the legendary fast shipping, but it didn't arrive in time, so I...

Review: Magellan RoadMate 2200T GPS Receiver was very sluggish When first come out of the box. Mostly with Software glitches,frequently freezes up when turn on. Sometimes voice indicator did not work with actual current location. But new firmware (version...

The Bottom Line: For the price, the portability, the end of worry of where is the next gas station or hospital etc, this is hard to beat.

Review: After owning so many of the old style GPS units, thought it was time for a street direction unit with a nice color screen. Have used this now for 4 months and have had ZERO problems! Another wonderful thing, is it comes with every single thing you...

The Bottom Line: The Magellan RoadMate 2200T just has too many "glitches" and flaws to make it a reliable navigator.

Review: The Product
The Magellan RoadMate 2200T is a car navigation system that uses GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite navigation signals. Combined with an error-correction signal, it can determine the location of a vehicle to within...

The Bottom Line: While I wouldn't use it for long road trips, it's fine for getting me from point A to point B.

Review: I have a lousy sense of direction. Seriously. I need to drive somewhere 5 times before i remember how to get there. Want to give me a North South East West heading? Forget it. I don't carry a compass. If there's a detour on my way to work, I have to...

The Bottom Line: Spend $60 more and get the Garmin Nuvi 350

Review: I had been researching handheld GPS units for several weeks, playing with them in stores and reading professional and user reviews on the internet. I had narrowed it down to the Magellan 2200T (available at CostCo for $300 + 6% tax) and the Garmin...
