By far the best GPS available for less than $300

I bought & returned 6 different GPS units including the Tom Tom, Garmin and a few others. First, when you enter the address (which is by far the easiest address-entering compared to any of its competitors) it knows where you want to go. It always brought me to the exact spot that i needed to find. It has over 6,000,000 points of interest compared to 1-2 million on every other competitor. it is small, thin and very lightweight. THIS GPS ROCKS!!!
Thank you for the peace and quiet!

Reviewer: Taxi Mom, Middle of Nowhere UTAH!
We recently drove round-trip from Utah to Texas. I had been to Texas this summer to help with the birth of our second grandaughter. While I was there I had to drive around Houston, My son-in-law had printed off maps with directions so I could go to the hospital and other places I needed to go. The whole time I was there I was thinking of the "Dreaded Car Trip" when we were going to go back for the baby's blessing - with my husband driving. We live in a very small town (less than 500 people) and going to the city to him means going to a city of 20,000 people. Everytime we have gone somewhere when I have to read directions to him while he is navigating traffic has led to tension, cursing (on his part)and a lot of tongue biting (on my part.)
I decided to buy this GPS before we left, and I have to say it was worth 10 times what I paid! It worked great and my 16 year old son was having a ball finding out all the things it could do. We went to SanAntonio, Houston, Dallas, and a lot of other places between here and there. We got off the worng exit or made a wrong turn a few times, and this wonderful unit had us back on the right road and I never heard one bad word!!!!
This GPS was so easy to use, and I'm so glad I decided to get it!

This is the first GPS I have owned but I must agree with everyone that rated it prior to my purchase it is easy to use updates fast and so far has not sent me astray. I especially like the feature that does not keep telling you it is recalculating (if you do not follow the course it calculates)as my brothers unit does. I would recommend this GPS to anyone that is new to the GPS world and wants an easy to use unit that seems to have many features for the price.
Why would you pay more?

Reviewer: Getting Old in Minnesota,
This is your basic GPS device that is user friendly, reliable. We're sure there are devices with more features but at our age we're happy just to know how to get there. It doesn't say "recalculating route" if you go wrong or change plans therefore you might not know right away that you missed a turn.
Worth the money.

I had a mid-grade Garmin that was not as smart as a 3rd grader. On numerous occasions it would send me onto deadend streets in neighborhoods in Savannah. The Magellan has proven far superior. Although they do not get the marketing exposure from the big box stores, seek out a Magellan, you'll be glad you did.
