This is fun
"Bought it. Left town and drove to an address 250 mi away. I had fun. It seems very competent. Not perfect mind you but way more than I expected. Not sure even how it compares because I did very little study. I was pleased with the straight out of the box performance. Didn't even need the paper instructions. Leaving today on a 3000 mile tour. May let you know how it fairs when I get back...." Read Full Review »

Terrible Product!

I own several Magellin and Garmins; Magellin has insulted my intel..." Read Full Review »

Magellan ® RoadMate™ 1412 GPS Navigation Unit Review
We loved this unit
"We've considered a GPS for our car for some time. We looked at Tom-Tom's, Magellans, Garmins and Navigon. Magellan just came out with a new line of hand helds and they have had a bit of a rocky start. So, we were initially a little leary of this new addition to the Magellan Auto GPS line. But, one v …" Read Full Review »

Magellan ® RoadMate™ 1412 GPS Navigation Unit Review
Its not bad BUT
"Cons
It hard to hear even with the volume all the way up dont open a window or you can hear at all it would be better if you could use the car radio and speakers
Additional Thoughts
the price is a bit high for it I think you can find a cheaper one with the same features.

Great value for the price
"As you can see by my pros and cons, I think this is a great unit. We bought it for a trip to Canada & it worked great.
The exit points of interests were very helpful because the highway we were on didn't have a lot of restaurants so we were able to find a restaurant that we wouldn't have known was t
