    Nice package - Poor Performance

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 23, 2005 | 21 out of 22 found this Magellan RoadMate 700 review helpful

    Pros: Good overall design

    Cons: Very poor satellite acquisition times.

    Purchased one and tried it for a week and returned it after I called customer service (long time on hold to speak with someone). They never responded to the e-mail that I sent with performance questions. The unit takes an excessive amount of time to ...find a satellite. It took over 20 minutes to lock on to a signal. When I spoke with customer service that stated thet this was normal unless I stay stationary for about 5 minutes after I turn the unit on. I told them that I had one of their old Map 330 systems that was very fast as well as a built in system in my GMC Envoy that also had no problem finding a signal and he said that the 700 was a different technology and that it was working correctly. I returned it and purchased the Lowrance iWay 500c and it has great performance. Read more Less

    Great Unit

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 31, 2005 | 18 out of 18 found this Magellan RoadMate 700 review helpful

    Pros: Accuracy, Voice Clarity, Ease of Use

    Cons: Moderately High Cost, A few More Features

    Ordered my unit on Sunday afternoon May 8, 2005 from Car Toys for $799; received it Wednesday May 11, 2005 in perfect condition and just as avertised. Set unit up in my car and programed in my current city and state location. On first bootup the unit... took about 15 minutes to locate itself with the satellites. Since the initial bootup, I have always started up the unit from the last place it was shut down and it only takes about 30 seconds or less to find itself even if I start driving right away. The suction cup windshield mount that came with the unit worked very well but a couple days after receiving the unit I decided to buy the optional dashboard mount (heavy 3 legged rubber mount) so I could quickly remove the unit from sight and set it on my floorboard and cover with a handtowel every time I stopped and left my car. Didn't feel the windshield mount would hold up well to this "on again, off again" mounting long term. Leaving the unit plainely visible on the dash while you are away would just be asking to have it stolen. I really like the rubber dashboard mount and highly recommend it. Took my first out of town trip last week with my wife to an area we were not familure with. Ahead of time I preprogramed in the address of places we wanted to visit while we were on the trip. It was absolutely like having a local area person in the car with us giving exact directions to get us to the various locations. The voice (male or female) is very clear and the volume was fine. My wife is never impressed with my "gadets", but even she said how neat this unit was on our trip. There are a few functions that Magellan can add to this unit to improve it (ie., more POI points, being able to set via points on your routes to force it to route you the way you want, and being able to store any current location as a waypoint with the push of a button), but overall it is outstanding just as it is now. If you are looking for a portable, in car GPS unit that is accurate, dependable, very easy to use and fun to use you won't go wrong with the Magellan Roadmate 700. Note: I have not used Customer Service yet so I cannot give a report on them. Read more Less

  • PC World

    Find the Way With GPS

    Navigation devices keep you on track on unfamiliar ground.Orbiting roughly 11,000 miles above the earth, the 24 satellites of the Global Positioning System are perhaps the most important navigational tools created since the invention of the compass. With a clear line of sight to at least three satellites, any modern GPS receiver can calculate your location anywhere on the planet with extreme accuracy, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. Read more

    We thought Garmin's StreetPilot III was the best vehicle-navigation system, but Magellan's RoadMate 700 has raised the bar. Read more
