Magellan RoadMate 1412

Pros: Wide screen, text-to-speech, 3 hour battery, 6 million points of interest, user friendly.

Cons: None yet.

Review: I wanted to get this review out as I paid a low low price for the GPS at Costco. It was $150 because of a recent $50 coupon off their regular price of $200. There are many sites giving the technical data. All I wanted to say is that I am very ...

Pros: Wide, clear screen. Intuitive menus. Great text-to-speech and volume control. Fast startup.

Cons: Turnpike service plazas are not included in POIs.

Review: Glad I did not buy another brand based on features. At Circuit City I could play with all the models, and the sales manager recommended a Magellan, since I was (obviously) a first-time GPS user. We hit the road the next morning and my wife and I were ...

Pros: nice touchscreen, good voice quality

Cons: not many updates avail yet.

The Bottom Line: good, solid GPS for the money

Pros: Small size, Text-2-Speech, Wide-Screen

Cons: Not very customizable, map accuracy is not great

The Bottom Line: This is a great basic unit for someone who wants to get from point A to point B without much hassle

Review: We just traded in a TOMTOM XL 330 for this unit because we wanted the NAVTEQ maps. This GPS was on sale from $350 and we got it for $220 at circuit city. So far if was been a good unit. The speaker is loud and clear enough to hear over a high A/C, ...

Pros: Never got to use it enough to evaluate any.

Cons: Fails to work properly.
