The Magellan RoadMate 2000 makes it easier than ever to get where you need to go. Simple touch-screen menus and a built-in interactive map of the contiguous U.S. makes it easy to select virtually any destination and get voice and visual turn-by-turn directions as you drive.

Use the touch screen to enter an address or select a point of interest and get an instant route using the shortest time, shortest distance, most freeways or least freeways. Nearly 1.3 million pre-programmed points of interest enable you to quickly find gas stations, airports, hotels, restaurants and much more.

Points of interest icons appear on the map. Touch an icon to get detailed information about a destination, including phone number when available. Save your own personal points of interest to quickly navigate to frequent destinations.

A complete set of advanced features include SmartDetour to route you around sudden slow freeway traffic, multi-destination routing, QuickSpell to quickly enter your destination, and 3D 'bird's-eye' view to clearly see your surroundings. Plus, the built-in battery gives you continuous use for up to 3 hours.

    Not good enough for experienced GPS users

    By The Power House  Jan 15, 2007 | 13 out of 15 found this Magellan RoadMate 2000 review helpful

    Pros: Bright Screen

    Cons: Maps not detailed enough, Poor hardware

    I bought this for my wife. She may have been fine with it, but I had the chance to road test it for a few days, before I made the final decision on it. I currently have a gps in my IPAQ, using the NAVTEQ maps. I can tell you that the maps in the mage...llan are not as detailed. There are locations that just can't be found on this Magellan that mine finds without any trouble at all. The maps are preloaded, so there is no ading additional maps, until they decide to update them. As for the hardware, the processor in this unit must be really weak. It takes forever to respond to your commands via the touch screen. Also it freezes up on you, enough to be annoying. You need to press the re-set button, and you lose all your favorites and previous destination. Perhaps the system I have is too good, but this Magellan did not compare to the IPAQ Navigation system I bought 3 years ago for 250 bucks. There has to be better. Read more Less

    Magellan 2000 GPS

    By G. Gordon  Feb 25, 2007 | 8 out of 8 found this Magellan RoadMate 2000 review helpful

    Pros: size, cost, accuracy, ease of use.

    Cons: battery life when not in car, Windows OS.

    This is a really good car GPS, a lot of bang for the ($270) buck. I’ve had several Garmin and Magellan handheld GPSs. This one is OK for handheld battery life, but it’s really made for the car, with the cigarette lighter adapter being plugged in. T...he screen is clear and bright (adjustable), and the size is great. It is pretty thin, not like many of the car devices that protrude in the back. This model does not cover Hawaii and Alaska. The next version (about $150 more) does. Sometimes, after a lot of use (or in the middle of a very ling trip), it needs a reset. The windows operation system needs e reboot. This does not lose any data, and the device asks you if you would like to continue to the currently programmed destination. One really great feature is probably available on the many other GPS’s on the market, but was not available in the past… the unit will recalculate the best route to the destination, no matter which turns or roads you take. The older units would get you back on your previously planned route. I’m sure there are better ones out there, but this one is sure worth the money. I put a small SD memory module in mine, for storage/backup. The nly way you would be dissapointed if you baught this one, is if you were looking for a top-of-the-line GPS where price was not an object. I must say that duing my shopping, I also liked the Garmin 5i. Read more Less
