broadway96 says "Not Great and Slow" about Magellan - Roadmate 2000 GPS Device

I bought this GPS last year and it has been nothing but problems. It freezes while driving. It cant track your car very well. Once you get to your destination it wont reset and go the other direction you want to go. The touch screen is not great and its very loud even with the volum down. I would not reccommend this product.

I don't know how I existed without a GPS. We have three vehicles and find this unit to be extremely helpful. It talks the street names, advises of alternate routes when we get stuck in traffic and ultimately saves us money by providing the most direct efficient directions to our destination. We also love the large size easy to read screen.

We got this GPS as a gift for Christmas. After a long road trip of using an Atlas and the GPS on our iPhones, we decided that we needed a real GPS for the car. This was particularly true when we were driving through areas that did not have cell service and being in the middle of no where with no land marks and we wanted to know how far we were from our next destination.

It does not seem to be able to locate us if we are in a building (like when we first opened it we were in the house, or in a parking garage) and since we park in the garage at night we have to remember to stop the car long enough for it to locate us.

If you miss a turn or go a different way intentionally while getting directions somewhere, it recalculates your new route quickly, which is great, however in playing with it in our neighborhood we've noticed it sometimes picks a longer route rather than a shorter one.

The only other drawback is the exclude feature, where you try to remove something from your route. ...
