“RoadMate 1412 GPS a great value 'friend' to have by your side...”
My Wife and I recently moved from Australia to America and, as you can imagine, adjusting to the opposite side of the road while driving was quite the formidable task... which, I'm happy to say we're overcoming... Needless to say we simply don't know our way around - anywhere here. The Magellan RoadMate 1412 GPS Navigation System has proven to be a God - send. I am a tech-head that enjoys technology to it's fullest, while - on the other hand, my Wife finds anything that requires instructions to be off-puting! This is where this particular GPS is great! The ease-of-use and simplicity of the user interface makes this contraption a pleasure to use and makes getting from A to B and even C very easy and straight forward. The spoken turns and directions are clear, heard easilly and understood every time. Unlike some GPS systems I have tried in the past, this model even works very well with heavy cloud cover.The POI (Points of Interest) functioning on the GPS also is very intuitive and provides a fantastic coverage of local businesses, services and attractions.
The 4.3" screen is clear and adjustable to suit your own preferrences ... Which, when sharing with your Wife - can be a pain in the preverbial. The level of options available with this unit is also quite impressive and allows for some subscription services also - although a pc hook-up is required for this.
Overall, for the price, I would rate this unit very highly as "value for money!"
If my Wife enjoys using it - most other people should enjoy it also!
