Magellan RoadMate 1412 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator A great unit. Easy to use for what I wanted. Doesn't have phone hookup or picture view which I don't need. Easy to understand directions.

Generally am very satisfied with this product. Easy to operate and straightforward. My only negative comment would be that on two occasions, when we entered correct addresses, it got us nearby, but not directly to our destinations.
 OK performance with some questionable directions... August 23, 2008

I bought this at Costco with a coupon for $[...] in June. After some city driving, it gave okay directions but occasionally it would give me some screwy directions when I would test it out using routes that were already known to me. The big test was when I took it to the Southwest for a road trip I took in August.
It performed okay there too but still there were times during missed turns during rerouting that it made some questionable decisions. I still ended up getting to where I wanted to go, but probably not in the best manner, regardless if I selected fastest time or shortest distance. Rerouting is automatic but the unit does not say it is doing so.
The points of interest feature is great and the Exit Point of Interest feature is fabulous since we did lots of highway driving. The Exit POI shows you restaurants, gas stations and dining in the upcoming freeway exits and how far away they are so you can better plan your drive.
The battery life is okay but it does take a long time to charge fully after discharging and the unit did not come with a home charging adapter. The unit does not charge well when it is actively being used so you have to keep it plugged into a hot 12 volt for a few hours when it's off to charge it up.
I had a Garmin before and that got stolen out of my car and it was their older "boxy" looking one. However smaller that was, it was faster routing directions (the Magellan takes significantly longer but not painfully so) and it had a choice of different voices (2 English and several other languages) whereas the Magellan only had one female English voice but had other languages available. The touch screen is decent but for some menu selections, there is a lag as the processor is working which means you can press your selection and have nothing happen for several seconds...for those of you that drive while you play with your GPS, this could be a problem.
Well worth the $[...] for its features and size but I am returning mine to Costco and picking up a Garmin just because I like that interface (and voice) better.

Good product. First trip using product went smoothly. We did travel a familiar route so it was interesting to see what happened. There was one error in turn directions noted. We took one "short-cut" that confused the device and it advised us to make a u-turn. We didn't and the GPS recovered quickly and announced our arrival at the correct time. Also, the "time of arrival" feature was amazingly accurate. It was right on at the end of the first part and only 2 minutes off on the return trip. We found the GPS to be a valuable part of our trip. I do recommend the voice announcing feature where the streets are announced as well as alerts to lane and turn directions.
