This product was great. I was disappointed when I realized the map was from 2005. We paid to have the map updated. It still cost less than purchasing it from somewhere else. We did have some technical problems that were handled swiftly by tech support.

Recieved Road Mate 2000 In October, 2008. Loved the ease of use and the way it gave directions to and from destinations. A month later it would not track satelites and current location was stuck on one place. I am going to try returning it for repair. St Helena, Ca.

The Megellan RoadMate 2000 is a great device for those who wish to find an address quickly and easily. The Points of Interest selection (i.e. restaurants, gas stations, etc.) is excellent. However there are limitations that may cause you to think twice about buying this product. The first and foremost limitation is that the Megellan RoadMate 2000 does NOT allow you to search a destination by entering coordinates. This is a very important to some businesses such as mine (surveyors, engineers, etc.) It also should make any Geocacher cringe!!! This is partially why I bought this product, so I definately lost out. Another limitation is that there is an icon for "Region". When I checked on this icon at the Magellan website I found out the the Megellan RoadMate 2000 does not have this capability, which begs the question, "Why does the product have the icon if it can't be used?. The good news about the Magellan website is that at least on the occasion I called (a Friday afternoon), the support team was right on the ball. No waits. I first entered a few buttons after calling and figured "Oh, great, I'll never get hold of anyone", but I was wrong. They answered my questions and were quick to help and were very friendly. That in itself might be worth the money! The phone number is listed on the websight.

I bought this because I travel alot for work, usually to places Ive never been-and it has been so helpful! It gets you where you need to be in the fastest time, taking you through backroads if neccessary, roads that I would normally be too afraid to try for fear of getting lost. I great buy and traveling is so much more enjoyable without havig to deal with the stress of getting lost!

I bought the GPS for vacation. It works great. My son, who is 4, thinks its the best invention ever.

Overall I am satisfied,my only problem is that I entered an address to go to,and the navigator took me the long way,when there is a shorter way.Beside that it is a good buy.

I'm very happy with the GPS. It is a reburbished model, but it included all manuals and accessories. I am new to GPS use and went on Magellan's website and got a downloadable guide that also answered questions. I was very pleased with the quality and price.I'm looking forward to using it on an upcoming trip instead of fumbling with a map!

I do not know how I sold so many homes and drove around with NO GPS. I use to print directions from Mapquest, wasting paper and Lord forbid they want to see another property someplace else. God had to be with me. BUUUT with this GPS I noticed if a home was built in 2005 to current it does not recognize the street or community, I have to type in a street or highway that is close or runs through the neighborhood. I guess I have to update it. I still like it.

I bought this refurbished GPS for my mother and she loves it. She programmed it, and set it up in her car without needing any assistance and has enjoyed it on two long road trips already. It is a great basic GPS for someone who does not do an inordinate amount of travel. The price was terrific.

I purchased it for a Father's Day gift.... It looks fine but since I have not given the gift yet... I don't know what the response will be.... My hope is that he will love it.....

I used my Magellan on a recent trip to Texas to visit a friend and it was an excellent fit. It is much easier than trying to read directions you printed off of mapquest or google maps. Also, the ability to find points of interest and the system's quick recalculation of a route if you make a wrong turn is wonderful.

This was the second one I've bought . The first for me and the second for my sister-in-law who gets lost in a phone booth.Easy to use and good price, it does what it says, gets you to where your going even if you make the wrong turn. Her daughter has used it and may need to buy another for her, too. Have not used the different features this gps has but I don't think there would be a problem.Great invention these things are.

This is a very good buy for a very good product. Only problem is that I find these type electronics confusing, directions are very plain. I just am overwhelmed with electronics period. But even I am learning how to operate this GPS . would reccomend this product to all my friends and family. Never getting lost on the road again!!!

This is a super destination finder. I thought about buying one with more features, but sometimes you can overdo something is precise, quiet, and convenient. It's size is just right, not too large for the windshield or to be able to take down and conceal when out of my car. I travel as a salesman, and get new accounts by name and address only, and I have many I would never have found in a strange city. I can ask most use of interstate when on the I/S system, then switch over to a more detail screen with only touching the + or - on the screen and I am there. My area salesmanager rode with me one day, and I quickly keyed in the address of our first account in a strange town, and he relaxed and it took us there with no errors or when I made a wrong turn, it easily redirected me back onto the right path. After our day together, he said "every sales car needs one of these Magellan's in them!" "I think it is a necessary piece of equipment saving time and fuel (at $4.00/gal) in getting to our destrination as quickly and effiently as possible. After riding with you today, I'll recommend these at the next general area managers sales meeting". Thanks Jeff and thanks Magellan for building this nice piece of (necessary) equipment!

I like the size and price of this system but there are a few features I wish it had. The Magellan RoadMate does NOT announce names of streets (they are on the GPS though). It does alert you (with a ding) when you are supposed to make a turn. I have found that it's hard not hearing the street name ~ especially in heavy traffic (when it's hard to take your eyes off the road) or at crazy multi-street intersections). If neither of these occur where you live, then this is a great deal. I typically use it when I'm lost in Los Angeles so getting home is my only concern and for that purpose, it's great. If you want all the bells and whistles, I think you're going to have to spend a little more.

Great piece of equipment. Easy to use. I love the map plus verbal cues. Re-calculates quickly when I change course. The verbal cue of direction to turn 2 miles and then 1/2 mile prior to the turn is a great help in making sure you're in the appropriate lane early enough to make the turn safely. I also really liked the verbal cue at the intersection as in some areas there are several intersections close together and in heavy traffic you can't keep your eyes on the milage on the car because you need to watch the road. POI (points of interest) is a great feature. Drove around for 6 hours in an unfamiliar area and found requested locations with no problem. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a GPS system.

This was purchased for me as a gift. I haven't used it on a trip yet but plan to do so on our trip to New Mexico later this month. It is easy to program with addresses and quite intuitive to set up. I am looking forward to this trip and using the GPS.

I am still trying to get used to using a GPS, and for the price, this one is a good way to get started. I haven't been able to give it a "real" test yet, but I did program a destination on the other side of (small) town. I tried and was basically able to confuse it. It wanted me to go straight down the main thoroughfare, but when I turned off to take a side street that ran the same exact way, the unit kept telling me to either "make a legal u-turn when possible" or other directions to get me back to the main drag. Several times, it advised that it was "recalculating the trip and finally I was already parked at the address I inputted into it and it never caught up to that. ALSO, IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT, OVERSTOCK SHOULD LIST THAT IT COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED. I bought an ugly, gaudy, useless windshield suction mount separately, because OVERSTOCK offered it and it wasn't listed in the MAGELLAN GPS description
