Magellan RoadMate 1424LM Owner Reviews Amazon By D. Thompson, January 9, 2010 Although I have owned an in vehicle navigation product that was built-in to a car, this was my first time with an aftermarket navigation system. The navigation is excellent and satellite acquisition is quick. The display is good, but in the brightest sunlight is a bit challenging to see. This isn't necessarily a fault unique to this product. Overall the most impressive thing about this unit is it's size and build quality. So compact yet with maps for the entire US and North America. I think that it should have come with an in-home plug-in charger in addition to the in car charger, but that's my pet peeve. One of the larger omissions (IMHO) was not stating on the box or in the literature that updating the software and maps in the navigation unit requires a Windows PC. It can NOT be updated via any Apple computers. Ouch! Finally, I am told the map updates are around $80. Sounds steep, but considering what it takes to update a digital map of the entire US, a fairly cheap price. And frankly, unless you are driving somewhere that has brand new roads, you won't notice the difference. You could just wait and buy an entirely new unit every few years for not much more money. But I actually believe that it's a good idea to support the updating of the maps by purchasing an update. The technical support I received (when I had a question about how to switch the map from 2D to a 3D view and back) was very competent, and surprised me considering the initial purchase price of the unit. Magellan seems to have good people and customer friendly policies. By loves2read, December 1, 2010 This is the second Magellan gps I have owned. I thought I was upgrading when I purchased the Roadmate 1424-LM in August. I wish I could have a "do over" on my decision to purchase this unit. I am becoming a frequent visitor to their Tech Support Dept. Pros: Magellan RoadMate 1424LM Owner Ratings Amazon BestBuy 4 reviews Return from Magellan RoadMate 1424LM to Magellan GPS |
