The Magellan RoadMate GPS system : What a great tool !
The Magellan RoadMate is a wonderful tool ... and a great friend when travelling on the road. I am a sales and marketing manager and I do need to cover a fairly large territory while behind the wheel. Do I have problems finding my way ? All the time.
I used to check maps, stop at gas station ... even ask policemen. This was very inefficient, costly and frustrating. I needed a tool that would allow me to focus on sales not on road maps!
I found the Roadmate and boy was I ever glad I did ! No more fooling around. No waste of time. How do you spell efficiency ? Ok I am getting a bit carried away here. Seriously, the Magellan Roadmate has great features and benefits. Let me summarize the ones I like the most :
- No complicated set-up and no downloading information. Just right for a technical newbie
Quick and automatic detection of the car's position
Ability to store a destination in memory, for future use
Yard by yard voice instructions allowing you to keep your attention on the road
Handy "Repeat" button to play back instructions you have missed
Ability to find alternate directions in case you get into traffic jams, road blocks, etc.
Easy-to-read screen, with views designed for use in both light and dark conditions
Neat 3-D visual representation of your location
For the more "detailed oriented" person here are the full product characteristics of the Magellan Roadmate model I use, courtesy of JC Whitney :
The Magellan Roadmate system is a great tool. I strongly recommend it for people that spend a significant amount of time on the road. With the esclating gas prices, this GPS system is a sound investment.
