I live in Australia so buying a sat nav from you is of no use because I need maps of this country, not the US and Canada. Your prices look good compared to what we have to pay here. Why don’t you offer units preloaded with maps of the countries being sold to – you might get a lot more sales.
Don’t tell me I could download local maps from the internet, I know that, but what a nuisance to have to bother doing that.

I was supposed to receive a FREE MAGELLAN TRAFFIC LINK when ordering the MAGELLAN ROADMATE 1470 by April 30. I ordered on April 7. DID NOT RECEIVE IT!!! I like the compact size of the 1470. However, I find it harder to use while driving than my old Magellan RoadMate 760, especially, the volume control. The touch screen means you have to take your eye off the road much more than I did with my older one. I prefer a male voice giving directions, and had a choice of male or female on the 760; but not on the 1470. To be fair, I haven’t used it that much, yet, so maybe when I get used to it I will like it better.

A LITTLE MORE ENGINEERING EFFORT AND THE STREET NAMING COULD BE LEFT OUT WHEN WANTED. THIS WOULD HAVE MADE THIS GPS GREAT. WHO WANTS TO HEAR STREET NAME 3 TIMES IN A SPAN OF 45 SECONDS. IF I COULD JUST ELIMINATE STREET NAMING, AND LEAVE DIRECTION VOICE ON THIS WOULD BE A SUPER DOOPER GPS.
FOR THIS REASON I RETURNED THE GPS.

The mapping information contained in this GPS is incorrect. Street and road names are incorrect in many instantances. I’d hate to take a long road trip and depend on this product. Magellan states there is nothing to fix until the maps are updated. My street address is incorrect and has not had a name change for ten years or more, thus how long does it take a map to be updated. Some of the street names in my small home town are incorrect when the street has never had another name. Certainly does not appear to be a reliable source to depend on when traveling.

I love this machine. It is so true I don’t ever have to worry about getting lost again. We used this on a trip and was so nice since my husband is one of those people who hates to ask for directions, NO MORE we have it made. I love the large screen and bright colors.
