I would recommend this GPS to anyone that is looking for the Top of Line Magellan Portable GPS with all the Bells anyone might need.
Don't go any further than Amazon for the Very Best Price on the Internet.

The Magellan RoadMate has become quite affordable compared to a few years ago, and it still remains very powerful. Occasionally it will say a street address is in the wrong part of the street, but this seems to happen rarely, and is still pretty close to the actual address. This is also made up for by the ability to search (and receive directions) for parks, gas, and places to eat all while in-transit. The Magellan's an amazing asset for long trips due to this ability alone.
The RoadMate 860T has software built-in to monitor traffic, but I don't have the proper accessories to take advantage of this. I imagine this would be great for daily use to and from work or school, but even without this the Magellan has suggested that I search for a detour while stuck in slow-going traffic on the freeway. Unfortunately, I don't know if this works off the freeway, but the Magellan does seem aware of how fast it's traveling versus how fast it should be moving, so I assume it would work for backroads as well.
The Magellan kit includes all the accessories required to get up and running without any extra purchases, like a winshield mount, and a recharger that connects to the car's cigarette lighter. The quickstart instruction manual does not go into as much depth as I would like, but it does a good job of teaching the basics, so users can quickly solve the questions that may arise.
All in all a great buy.

Safest GPS - you do not need to look at the screen to see where to turn or to read street names. This GPS talks to you - tells you where to turn AND tells you the street name out loud. fantastic. slight error margin (new streets or streets which no longer cut thru), but overall very reliable.
Don't leave home without it! January 9, 2007

My first GPS was a Magellan 700M so I was comfortable with this new system. It's easy to learn and set up. The screen is big and easy to see when driving. Voices are clear. Best of all, it's easy to just pop it in your purse if you have to travel in a vehicle that lacks a GPS. I recommend it highly. However, although the system can work without it, the system should come with an external antenna. The external antenna, by the way, is difficult to connect and disconnect. I had to buy a second one when the first broke off at the base when I was trying to remove it.
Good value for the $$$ December 14, 2006

The product has some very good features, but the written documentation is poorly written and incomplete. Acquiring the GPS signal takes too long if you are in a hurry and can't sit still. Not sure if I will keep it.
