User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars RoadMate 1400
Very easy to use. Easily mounts to top of dash. Good display and driving directions. Great buy. Don’t know why you can’t get a topo version.

5 Stars Why would you pay more?
This is your basic GPS device that is user friendly, reliable. We’re sure there are devices with more features but at our age we’re happy just to know how to get there. It doesn’t say “recalculating route” if you go wrong or change plans therefore you might not know right away that you missed a turn.

5 Stars Great little gps for the money
My husband had trouble hearing while driving when the old gps would talk and more trouble seeing the smaller screen. This is much better for our use and will get more use when going to Oahu soon.

5 Stars Magellan Roadmate 1400
Magellan Roadmate 1400 is a good starter unit. It has many options for the price.Has the 4.3″ screen which is a must I think,also changes color at night for easy reading. Is fairly easy to set up and operate. However, this unit lacks some of the higher unit items.But is grate for ever day user. Would I buy one again? Yes I would.

4 Stars Gets Me Where I want To Go Plus!
I’m very selective about my electronics–probably to a fault. I read the reviews from several spots on the net.

I have a Magellan Roadmate 650 which is several years old and have had no problems except I need to get new maps. I bought this 1400 for my wife. She needs things efficient and not complicated and that’s exactly what this unit is. It gets her where she wants to go without complication. The video is crisp. It is loud enough to play the radio and still here and it repeats the next move if you need it to. Taking it on and off is easy. My only minor problem is that this is for a SUV and the little window adapter holder really does not extend out as far as I would like. I just hooked it up to one of the windshield holders from my 650 and it worked great. It would have been nice if the included an adapter to enable it to be plugged in to the wall outlet.

I also like that it came from Amazon. Good price plus I feel comfortable ordering from them. Anytime I have had any problem with a product it is taken care of promptly–no hassles, no questions.
