Magellan RoadMate 300 GPS Portable Navigator

User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - After you load it its good to go... forever!
This unit is easy to load. Place it in your car with the included suction cup and you are good to go! There is no need to reconnect it to your PC again! The address book feature is very nice. At this price, for a GPS, you cannot go wrong!



User Review: 1 out of 5 stars - Buy a Garmin
The PC interface is cumbersome. The manual is vague and incomplete. Maps are outdated and often just incorrect. Support is poor to nonexistent. The unit stopped functioning completely in 18 months.



User Review: 1 out of 5 stars - Better Get A Garmin
The device, when it works, is fairly impressive. The problem is when the unit doesn't work, the support is nearly nonexistent. My Magellan Roadmate 300 NA was a Christmas gift from my wife. Fresh out of the box one of the Navigation Keys did not work. After more than a month with numerous not very helpful exchanges with their support services department, I finally received authorization to send the unit to Fort Worth Texas. After an additional two weeks, including some time where they were asking me for shipping and tracking information after I had already received delivery confirmation from the shipping service, The unit was returned to me with the original defect repaired but now with another key inoperative! They now will not answer my support requests.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Good device with outdated map
This is a good GPS system overall. It functions well for the basic travel guide with the very reasonable price.

THe problem for this unit is that the map is outdated. It is strange that it has the streets around our community which is about 2-year-old, but it does not have my street which is 7-year-old.

In general, in a established city (such as Houston inner city), it is good enough, but in the rapid-developing area (such as Houston suburb), the map might be too old.



User Review: 2 out of 5 stars - Buyer Beware
This item works great. It is just obsolete. The maps are outdated and will not be updated by Magellan so if you live in a growing city like me your maps will not reflect any changes and there is no way to change it. Other than that the price is great and it works good with its limited capabilities.
