What’s different about Magellan RoadMate 1700 is that it has a huge 7″ touch screen display – compare that to most other high end GPS navigation systems which offer a 4.3″ screen. But there is a downside to having such a big screen: the battery only lasts for one hour – tops.
The current price of this RoadMate is $300 and is expected to arrive somewhere between Sept. 14th and 21st.
