Magellan roadmate 800 auto-routing GPS reciever reviews?

For those who have used this product, what do you think about it? Are you happy with your buy? I need a GPS that can be used not only in the continental US but also in Canada (at least the eastern side -closest to Alaska-) and Alaska. If you have any other suggestions, please lemme know. I need to be able to download maps and have a decent battery life for if/when I use it outside of the car when not pluged into the cigarette lighter.


Magellan is ok, but they are the number 3 seller for a reason.

You'll like a garmin a whole bunch better and with their flexible database system you can equip it with as many countries as you like.

    I purchased this unit a few weeks ago after researching quite a few options. The navigation portion of the unit is outstanding. The screen is very bright. The 3D view is way cool. It takes only 30 seconds or so normally for the unit to acquire your location. It routes very well. Has loads of features. The screen is very readable. It autoshifts from daytime to nighttime view. Both look great. The voice comments are excellent. It comes with an MP3 player and a picture viewer also, but that is NOT why you would buy this unit. You would purchase it because it is a great navagation system. The mp3 and picture viewer are just little extras. They work just fine. The unit is very portable and can easily be switched between cars. It can also be used outside the car with its built in rechargable battery. The only complaint I have so far is that the windshield mount, while quite sturdy, still allows the unit to vibrate around a bit. Also, the manual is, as usual with some of these products, lacking in some important details. When mounting the unit, I would suggest you have the bottom of the mounting bracket touching your dashboard to reduce the vibration. This helped quite a bit. Lots and lots of points of interest built into the unit. It is incredibly easy to start using this unit. Take it out of the box and attach the windshild mount and off you go. Highly recommended as a GPS navitagion system. It is the same price as the Magellan 760, but with additional features. While it is more expensive than the Megallan 700, it has numerous additional features including 3D viewing and many more Points of Interest. I think it is worth the extra $$$$ for this.
