 What title do you want Mr Frank J Culley? March 8, 2007

The product works great. What i didn't like was not having the attachment to charge the battery in my home. It only came with the cigarette lighter power source. I had to purchase the other power source seperately. I also had purchased the 3000 model previously and it came with both power sources. Why is that?

I have used my Magellan GPS for about 3 weeks now and it has been right on every single time! Does it occasionally send me a way different from the way I know...sure...but it ALWAYS get's me there and when we used it on a vacation last week in a location that we were not familiar with it got us where we needed to go every single time. I really recommend this product. Pluses-voice easy to hear, map very easy to read, system VERY easy to operate. Negatives-buttons are a bit sensitive on the top of the unit but if in it's base than not a problem. We actually liked it so much we just bought a second one for our other car.
 Magellan 6000T Trouble March 8, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I received my Magellan 6000T about 3 weeks ago. After 2 weeks and using
it 3 or 4 times I realized that the directions being given were not accurate.
About that time the unit stopped working. I called the Magellan repair center and the technician thought that the hard drive might be bad and said that I should send it to Fort Worth Texas which I did. After a week I called the technical support and found that they cannot locate my unit. As of now about 3 and one half weeks, I have no new unit and it cannot be located and I'm convinced I will not have it for my trip. I think this speaks bad of the product as well as the service. Only time will tell and I will probably have to buy another GPS (maybe a Garmin) for the trip.
 Decent mapping, poor feature reliability and customer service March 5, 2007

This unit satisfies in its GPS functionality, but is problematic elsewhere. When I decided to purchase a GPS, I decided to spend the extra money and get a integrated handsfree bluetooth unit for my phone (Motorola RAZR V3). The bluetooth connection was easy to set up and reliably would find my phone and connect. Unfortunately, the bluetooth connection would disconnect after about five minutes, even though the 6000T would still show the unit and phone as connected. Customer service was no help.... it seems their script only includes the instructions "download the latest software" (I already had) and "reset the unit" (didn't help).
Second problem: the unit started turning itself off randomly (actually, it went into "Sleep Mode") while driving down the road. The customer service response? You are correct.... "download the latest software" (I already had) and "reset the unit" (didn't help).
I finally complained loudly enough that they told me to send the unit in for repair (at my expense, of course). I received it back and the bluetooth feature was not repaired. Their solution for the unit randomly going into Sleep Mode? They turned off the power management so the unit would not go into Sleep Mode under any circumstance. Well, I suppose that IS a solution, but a pretty crappy one since, if you forget to power down the unit manually when you leave the vehicle, the GPS battery will be totally drained when you get back in the car.
I expected MUCH better at this price point. Shoulda gone with Garmin.
not functioning March 5, 2007

First few weeks it worked, and now we really needed it when driving in remotes areas, 3 hrs away from home through a snowstorm.......it gave up working and we never were able to turn it on again,.......we didnot take a map,as we were sure with this navigation system we would be safe..however we felt pretty unsafe and lost
very frustrating and we are very disappointed with this recently EXPENSIVE Magellan navigation system, and with Amazon as a usually depending source
