Magellan RoadMate 1470 Portable GPS Navigator
Posted Friday, July 31st, 2009 by simon
This GPS device offers a big improvement over the original RoadMate from Magellan. For a start it is widescreen with a 4.7 inch color touch screen. It also has a very thin design at just 0.7 inches thick and it only weighs 2 pounds. It is very easy to use with a clear icon system and it comes preloaded with maps of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico with six million points of interest.
It has a number of excellent features including the ability to personalize icons, set multiple destinations and access the AAA Tourbook and Roadside Assistance menu. It doesn’t just have spoken directions it even announces street names and directions at every turn. It automatically brightens at night so you can always see where you are going and if you add Traffic Link you’ll get live traffic updates as well. It comes with a windshield mount and power adapter and there is also software and a USB cable for hooking it up to your computer.
