Choosing the Magellan Brand of GPS Navigation Units
Quite a few of the more established GPS device companies are making efforts to upgrade their global positioning products. These companies are offering more advanced applications to make navigation easier for travelers who use tires, sneakers, or any other method of transportation in between. Although these designers are really trying to render these GPS devices accessible for the typical consumer, the effect of all the technology housed in the unit will understandably be larger price tags. The best that most designers can do for the consumers who can’t afford the latest gadgets is to market starter models of the GPS devices so they will be affordable for Joe 6-cylinder. A nice option is the Magellan Roadmate 1470 Portable GPS Navigator.
Magellan GPS devices are a bit distinctive since they have always engineered their top-selling models to be inexpensive and convenient. The shortcoming of affordability, naturally, is that cutting edge technology is hardly ever available at reasonable prices. Consequently, the quality of Magellan’s devices has received mixed reviews. Magellan answered this complaint by producing several advanced models for the most demanding GPS users.
Magellan Maestro
In case you are in the market for a reasonably priced tour guide for your vehicle, the Magellan Maestro series offers many models made especially for auto navigation. Magellan Maestro models lie in the 3000, 4000, and 5000 designations. Every one of the 3000 models are remarkably inexpensive with a few including the Maestro 3100 selling for not quite $200 which is outrageously cheap for a GPS device with 2-D and 3-D display options. Perhaps their most convenient ability is the QuickSpell feature, that enables uncomplicated input for street names.
Every other measurable quality, including the performance is mediocre and hanging is very frequent. With the exception of one or two of the 4000 and 5000 series devices, the Magellan Maestro is just not reliable, but the price remains reasonable.
Magellan Roadmate
As suggested by their name, this collection of Magellan GPS devices are designed for cars too. Yet they are unlike their Maestro cousins in terms of appearance. Roadmates are made to be less bulky to tote, having a sleeker profile while having the same interface. Consequently the Roadmates are similarly easy to work with and much easier to carry than the Maestros. A great unit is the Magellan Road mate 1470 Portable GPS Navigator.
Regarding its performance, the Roadmate is somewhat improved with some models like the Roadmate 1212 benefitting from the Centrality Atlas III Processor. If you like playing with the menus, you will likely notice a rather frustrating delay when pushing the buttons. The battery power isn’t remarkable either; it’s able to run for about 3 hours before a recharge is needed.
On the upside, the Roadmate is deemed superior to many of the Maestro budget devices, storing many more POI’s as compared to the Maestro 3100 with its measly 750,000 points of interest. The Roadmate keeps pace with other brands by including over 6 million points of interest. Text-to-speech, which is always a welcome feature, has been included in a few of the mid-range models. The price isn’t prohibitive either, which is impressive for a slim device. A good device to look into is the Magellan Roadmate 1470 Portable GPS Navigator.
Even though there are only two collections to choose from, they each offer at least 10 models per group in a range of different costs and abilities. The cheapest Magellan devices aren’t recommended for regular users on account of the regular crashes, but more expensive models are quite satisfactory and ought to be suitable for commuters to be happy with.
