Pros: color, voice, size Cons: There are none Summary:
I'm very satisfied with this unit; this is the first GPS I buy and so my expectations for the unit were not high. I have found the points of interest feature to be quite useful; I've used it to find my way to restaurants and the directions were
I am newbie to the navigation world as most people will be if they are looking in this price range. I spent hours reading reviews on GPS units in the under $199 price range. When I visited the store I got to test the Magellan 1200 and compare it to the To
After hours of research and reading reviews I decided that when Black Friday rolled around, I would purchase a Magellan GPS Navigator. I had decided on one of the Maestro models (mainly because Roadmate 1200 reviews were mostly unavailable). The Maestro&#
MAGELLAN RoadMate 1200 3.5-Inch Auto Navigation I bought this a few weeks ago and am very pleased with it. Easy to operate, reliable, useful for anyone planning a trip.
I got my Roadmate 1200 a few months ago after reading the reviews on Amazon. I have had no problems with it-- it re-routes fast enough to get me where ever I am heading and I can store many addresses in its address book. And it is highly affordable at thi
powerful basic GPS. I use it every day. no need to think much in a budget plan to buy it. It has every thing except saying the name of the street, but not a big deal. what I like the best in this GPS that it accepts ZIP codes enteries instead of keying in
Pros: great price works great in large city, Phila Cons: has an older gps chip Summary:
I am a first time GPS owner and before purchasing, I did a lot of research. My conclusion was that no one inexpensive GPS navigation unit pleases everyone. While we all want everything, we just don't get it all in the low priced GPS units. I looke
Pros: Gets me from point A to point B with ease. Cons: The touch screen is sometimes hard to press on. Summary:
I have been using the Magellan RoadMate 1200 for about a month now and it is everything I had hoped for. For years I rented cars from Hertz with a Magellan GPS unit and when I ordered the 1200 I hoped it would work up to the same standards as the Hertz u
Rob, I wanted to comment on the first two problems you are experiencing and add a third of my own. First the Exit POI problem. According their technical support, they are still working on this part of the Roadmate 1200 and will release it on the Internet
This was my first GPS so I can't compare it to others, but so far it has been "spot on" for me. It is very user friendly and simple to use. Calculated routes are easy to follow visually and audibly. I bought it for $129 on "Black Fr
I bought this product on Nov 24, 2007 in thanksgiving sale at circuitcity and am quite satisfied with it. Its value for money and good for a entry level GPS system. Pros: 1. Very intuitive user interface. 2. Very Compact and light weight. Fits in shirt po
i bought this magellan on november 24 2007. yes, saturday thanks giving sale on circuitcity. i didn't plan to buy this GPS, but when i was on trip with my friend, we were lost. we end up in parking lot, fortunatly its next to circuitcity that had 2 d

I know some of the negative reviews might be putting you off, but frankly if you aren't interested in shelling out 500 bucks on one of these suckers (and lets be honest, unless you are routinely traveling to points unknown and not planning in advance

We received the Magellan 1200 for Christmas. I was excited because I had been wanting a gps for a while and had borrowed friends and really like them. One of my favorite features was being able to type in a name of a restaurant, store etc and it telling
My husband bought this unit for me last year for Christmas and it has been wonderful to use. But the only real dislike I have is that it does not verbaly say the street to turn on. And she ocassionaly has a brain block and sometimes takes a while to find
I like how easy it is to use from the word go; it easily found its location within its first 30 seconds of use. Everything is intuative and I appreciate the enty suggestions as well as the removal of useless characters when inputing city and street names
This GPS works well for the price if you can get it for around $125. However note that it does not include a AC Charger which will cost about $20.00. Also, a USB cable is not included which costs around $15.00. I returned this model and purchased a Magell
I have an ancient Garmen GPS but maps can't be upgraded so I purchased the Roadmate 1200 when it was on sale. It pales in comparison to the Garmen. The Roadmate is too heavy to stick to the window with the provided suction device. When typing in cit
I've had the StreetPilot i2 for 2 years now and when I saw the Magellan Roadmate 1200 on sale, the price was so good I could not pass it up. The Magellan Roadmate 1200 was a big jump up from the Garmin StreetPilot i2. The Magellan had a full 3.5"
Although the Roadmate 1200 is my first GPS unit, I have traveled with friends enough to kind of know what to expect and the features I wanted. My girlfriend purchased the Roadmate 1200 for Christmas and I have had it running for about a week now. My firs

I bought this because Magellan is a good brand and the price was decent. I printed out the thick "user's manual" from the CD (included). It was my first GPS, and I really worked hard to learn about it. It has a bright screen and a pleasan
I picked up three Roadmate 1200's during the Black Friday weekend, one for myself, two as gifts. I have found a few issues with the units, and I am posting to see if others are having the same issues. The biggest problem is that when you attempt to u
Like the other reviewers I too bought this during the Thanksgiving Sale at Circuit City, and judging from a little research it appears this model was in fact manufactured with Black Friday 2007 in mind. When I first powered on this unit it thought I was s
I bought this unit at Circuit city thanksgiving sale in 2007. The device worked for less than a year. The maps and tracking system are not very good. Sometimes, it will just take you off the freeway to bring you back after couple of miles. So even though
I purchased the Roadmate 1200 thinking it is a good basic GPS. It is horrible! It can't find 75% of the address I am trying to look up or is 1/4 mile off, the Exit POI still has no fix, customer service is slow and in India, and it routes you in ci
The title of this review says it all, but I'll expand on this a bit for the specific details of my usage experiences. Before I ever used a GPS navigator, I was a thorough user of printed road maps and Google Maps to the point where I thought I'd
This device is so much of a hassle that I actually leave it in my car overnight with the hopes that somebody will steal it so I have a reason to replace it with a tom tom or garmen unit. I am not a beta tester. If you believe what other reviewers say, thi
There are many bugs as reported by other users, Exit POI is not functional, too many routing errors, slow to route and reroute. Magellan support is in India (-10 points for that). Give it a pass, buy something else.
Like most of the reviewers, I bought this from Circuit City on online Black Friday and really liked it. I was amazed that you could get a device like this for $124. But then the device started locking up. It would lock up about every 15 min and I would
I've had my Magellan Roadmate 1200 since February. It worked great at first and we had bought it as a 2nd navigation system for our two car/truck move from Florida to Indiana. Two days before the move the system gets stuck in an endless back and fort
I currently have the Mag 700. I take it with me when I fly to other states. My problem is that I'm not familiar with the streets in these other states. So when (not if, but when!) the 700 glitches out, I'm completely lost. And forget calling
