Although some customers would be keen to possess any GPS gadget from the more posh and forward-thinking Magellan Maestro range, the price tag might not be apt. Hence, countless consumers turn to Magellan’s simple RoadMate series for more reasonable alternatives and Magellan revealed 3 GPS devices this year that mix together the low-end features of a GPS gadget with a few premium features, causing quite a stir amongst buyers.

The Magellan Roadmate 1470 and Magellan Roadmate 1475T offer parallel characteristics such as preloaded maps of U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico with 6 million Points of Interest, QuickSpell, an perceptive quality which guesses street names and cities whilst the consumer keys in a handful of letters, Multi-Destination Routing, Highway Lane Assist, Text-to-Speech, AAA Tourbook and Roadside Assistance menu. OneTouch, a favourites menu, provides travellers nippy access to their customized bookmarks of favourite locations and a “Plan route on map” ability makes routing exceedingly trouble-free! More significantly, they put forward route alternatives, such as Fastest, Shortest, Most Used Freeways, Least Used Freeways and most useful direction to save clients the most time and money achievable. Besides, these gadgets all come with a 4.7-inch touchscreen display including zoom function, an advancement from the preceding Roadmate gadgets, and maps that can be observed in both 2-D or 3-D modes. Points of Interests are also shown as soon as consumers draw near to the exits so that they will realize early which exits to take to reach to selected Points of Interests. The host of features, unrivalled usability and glossy design most definitely make these Magellan gadgets a bargain for customers! Yet the one and only bonus aspect which comes equipped with the Magellan Roadmate 1475T is a traffic–enabled gadget (VPA) that gives subscription free, real-time traffic alerts, incidents and road congestion reports to buyers, presenting improved usability and expediency.

On the other hand, the Magellan Roadmate 1440, which was released early this year, owns a smaller but just as remarkable 4.3-inch wide WQVGA color touchscreen with the exact consistent functions as the Magellan Roadmate 1470. Of course, a smaller screen would purport that this gadget cost less and is reasonably priced, great for the budget conscious!
