User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars nice gadget
This is my first navigation system and it was given to me as a gift. The sound is superb. The touch pad could be a little more sensitive, as it seems that you need to use your fingernail or more than a fingertip to get to the menus. All in all, a great product.
1 Star Don’t buy
Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they refused to give me the update. This is a bad business practice. Garmin has a 60 day guarantee which is posted directly on their website in plain view.
5 Stars Great Value
You can’t beat Magellan RoadMate 1212 for the price. While it has a lot of the same features of the TomTom and the low-end Garmin’s, it does not skimp on any of the extra features. Incredibly small, portable, reliable, with a long battery life.
