Editorial Review: Product Description: Magellan RoadMate 300 GPS Receiver offers complete, yet simple vehicle navigation with turn-by-turn multiple destination guidance, friendly voice prompting and the latest touch screen technology. Amazon.com Product Description: Building on the success of the RoadMate 500 and 700, Magellan's RoadMate 300 is a powerful GPS navigational tool that can easily guide you on your next automotive adventure. The system makes navigation easy and fun, with friendly voice prompting, preloaded maps of major North American roads, turn-by-turn guidance, and the latest touchscreen technology--all at a great price. Features The RoadMate 300 is billed as the first vehicle navigation device made for everyone, but that doesn't mean Magellan has scrimped on features. Designed from top to bottom for simplicity and ease of use, its user interface is the same as that found in the Hertz NeverLost system and the RoadMate 700.
Meanwhile, the locate feature displays your current location and allows you to save it to the address book. Finally, you can select destinations by entering an address or intersection, selecting an address from the address book, touching a point on the map, or by choosing from more than 1.7 million points of interest like airports, gas stations, and restaurants. All of these features make the RoadMate 300 a snap to use right out of the box. Design Weighing in at just under nine ounces and with an integrated GPS antenna, the RoadMate 300 is compact and portable. The tough, rubberized exterior is built for abuse, while the 3.5-inch TFT color touchscreen makes address entry easy--no need for an awkward stylus. The intuitive keypad is backlit and highly visible, night or day. A headphone jack lets you catch the next turn command in a car full of noisy kids. Connectivity and Expansion
What's in the Box The Magellan RoadMate 300 unit with integrated GPS antenna, PC software, a quick-start guide, a basic reference guide, a complete manual on CD, a USB cable, a cigarette-lighter adapter, and a windshield mount. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Got me to Cedar Point, great gps.. but OUTDATED!!!I called Magellan about updating the maps, and they said this unit is going to be discontinued and it is impossible to update it. I'd have to trade it in for a new one. So they wanted me to pay $200 after trading this unit in. If you call Magellan and are stubborn enough, they should be able to work out sending you a free Maestro (which they are for me). Cause I bought the Roadmate 300 like last November and they are telling me it is getting discontinued already?!?! So BUYER BEWARE... ... Read More Rating:  - Not Worth the MoneyI bought this for my husband a year and a half ago and have had nothing but problems. He travels for a living and needs it to go to his sales appointments. It failed on him several times and was replaced (with a refurbished model) by Magellan and that has failed several times also. Very frustrating when you are 20 miles past your turnoff and don't know it because the GPS has frozen. We are currently looking for another to replace it and would not consider another Magellan, at any price. Rating: - Mgellan roadmate 760Customer support is a joke, unless you speak Indian. You must also have about 3 hours free to hold while waiting to talk to someone you cant understand. One of the reviews I read told how to repair the wire that comes loose from the mother board. This also happened to mine. If it is that much of a problem they should repair the unit free because of a mfg. defect. They should modify the installation of this wire so that it works and does not come unglued. Stay away from Magellan. Extreamly poor service ... Read More Rating: - Service should keep you away from all Magellan productsStay away from Magellan all together. Bought the RoadMate 300 last Black Friday (Nov. 24, 2006). Pretty good unit for the price, had intermittent problems connecting to the satellite. Finally went. Called Magellan in August 2007, received a Return Authorization. They supposedly have a 14 day return policy. Well it is now almost November again and after numerous calls to Magellan still no GPS. They use outsourced phone representatives, so you can not be assured that they actually understand what you are ... Read More Rating: - High marks for the item / low marks for Magellan updates...It has been about 3 years since the maps were updated and support cannot/will not give us an answer when or EVEN IF the maps will ever be updated. Its is a great value for the price but if you live in an area with lots of development you will likely find many areas that are not on the map! [...] |
