4 Stars Service is much improved
I bought this unit because it was on sale. I already had a Crossover and loved the actual gps, but like so many others, had lots of problems dealing with the company. This time was very different. I called the support number to check on the map update guarantee, and was promptly given all the info I needed. They even allowed me to use a forwarded email from amazon as proof of purchase. Ten dollars and only two days later I had a new map update in the mailbox. Update went smoothly and everything works fine. My only complaint is that the screen contrast is not quite as vivid as my previous gps, making it a little harder to see on sunny days. I am hoping that a shade will help.

5 Stars support
The feedback for this gps is misleading a lot, in my personal eyes. The bad feedback is only regarding company service, rather than the GPS tool.

I didn’t deal with issues with Magellan company, so I don’t know how that is. However, this GPS is actually the best one since I owned. In past 5 years, I owned one GPS from MIO, one GPS from Garmin, two GPS from Megellan, and another one GPS connecting with PDA. In general, Garmin 350 and this one are the best in my mind, but this one is much cheaper. I’ve recommended many friends around me for this tool.

5 Stars Best Little GPS!
There are not many GPS units that offer as many maps as this little jewel. I’ve used it extensively for driving in Mexico and Mexico City. I have been extremely happy with this unit and own three of them. I would not recommend anyone drive in Mexico without having this GPS. The map may have been dated but I got to where I was going in Mexico City without any problems.

If you want a true workhorse GPS with a bunch of maps – especially Mexico – this is the unit for you. I’ve studied most models and this one is turn-on and go – literally.

For the money – under $100 in most cases – you can get a better deal anywhere. So what if you need to update the maps – new map costs $70! However, the core information and mapping is extremely reliable.

I cant say enough about this product. I’m considering the 4220.

I hope Magellan does not discontinue this product and offers other units with these maps.

1 Star Don’t buy
Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they refused to give me the update. This is a bad business practice. Garmin has a 60 day guarantee which is posted directly on their website in plain view.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Case
This is a great case for keeping everything together in one place. The only negative I can see is that the mount for the windshield does not fit inside this case, too.

5 Stars a handy hard shell
This hard shell travel case really works great, it is not absolutely hard, but has enough support to protect your GPS or whatever else you put in here from all normal abuse, excluding having a person stand on it. It is not as exactly as pictured here; it has 6 removable pockets that attach by Velcro, which really work better. You can arrange the 6 pocketed holders anyway you wish and they each shut individually and so you have cases to hold whatever you have put in them. There are also cable “ties” that are also Velcro. I have a Magellan Roadmate and absolutely everything fits in here, with space to spare, including the car charger and the extra charger for in the house. The case is very neat looking and the zipper to close it feels very solid

I ordered it with my Magellan Maestro and it works great to keep all of the pieces in one compact place.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent Quality & Construction, Very Sharp.
Yep…love it. Fits all the accessories, including the Road Mate itself. You should have a case like this in order to hold all that stuff. Much nicer.

5 Stars Magellan Roadside 760 case
This case is perfect for your Magellan. It has plenty of room for acessories and offers a safe and secure custom foam frame for the product. Once the Magellan is in place, the foam prevents it from moving inside the case. I would recommend it for anyone who owns a Magellan.

3 Stars Bulky but protective
This case protects the GPS very well. Unfortunately, it’s bulky. Perhaps the combination is unavoidable.

4 Stars Great case for your Magellan GPS
This case is large enough to hold the GPS unit, power supplies and mounting bracket. My only complaint is that it came with two large styrofoam inserts that appear to be used for the GPS unit! One is all that is needed and the other can be discarded since it will not fit into the pouch with the other parts. The case is sturdy and has an adequate zipper that should not fail under normal use.

5 Stars GPS Case
A necessity if you want to store your Magellan either temporarily, as when you park so no one will be tempted to steal it, or to keep it put away at home until you need it again. Also a good idea to have if you move your GPS from one vehicle to another.

5 Stars Wonderful Alternative to Windshield Mount/Docking Station
I agree entirely with the other reviewers on how well this works in the car as opposed to the windshield mount. However I found it works great as docking station for my TT 630. The TT 630 comes with just a usb cord and no docking station so I set this on my desk for home charging and updates, then pick the whole thing up and go. Pretty slick!

5 Stars Works perfectly
Works very well. I tried the supplied button from the TomTom for a dash mount and it was worthless. I didn’t like it on the windshield since it blocked my viw at times. This holds th unit just fine and stays put on my Honda Pilot dash without slipping. For anti theft I just pick the whole unit up and hide it in the glove compartment.

5 Stars A must have for your GPS
If you own a GPS for you car, you need this. This heavy base sits on your dashboard with a slip resistant bottom. You use the suction cup base of your GPS to attach it to the smooth plastic of the base. Then you just place it on your dash. Why would you want to fight with constantly sticking and removing it from your windshield? When I park my truck, I just put the GPS, base and all, into my center console compartment. Anyone looking for electronics to steal won’t see my GPS. Better still, they won’t see the suction rings on the windshield which is a sure give away that there is a GPS in the car.

5 Stars If I could give this 5 plus stars I would….do NOT buy the Bracketron, buy this
This is an incredibly stable pad. Awesome in fact. I had tried the Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad and it slid all over. It endangered not only the unit but me and my passengers. It knonked my wife on the knee pretty hard. You had to constantly be on edge that it would fall off.

This item though is like super-glue. It sticks on EVERY turn and I am using it on the same exact dashboard the Bracketron would slide constantly on. This has not slid once on any turn, sharp U-turns included. I can not get it to budge. As an added bonus it is much smaller than the Bracketron hence easier to transfer between cars or stick in a glove department. It is usually priced higher than the Bracketron but it will be the best extra few dollars you have spent.

5 Stars WORKS GREAT!
I couldn’t imagine this thing clinging to the dash when I made quick stops and sharp turns but it does. Works great with my Tom Tom with plenty of clearance for the cable connection at the bottom. Buy with confidence!

5 Stars A good product
The 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter Power Cable that came with my Magettan Maestro GPS lasted about a year. I bought this replacement at a price well below what Magellan would have charged me for another one. It has worked perfectly from day one. What more can I say?

5 Stars Ram Garmin GPS mounting system
This product was the answer I was looking for to mount my Garmin Etrex Legend handheld GPS to my ATV for trail use. The price was very much a factor in purchasing it from Amazon.com. It was received and delivered as advertised and it works GREAT. I can now trail ride on my ATV in the Michigan North Woods with confidence that I will find my way back.

5 Stars great mount.
I received this item yesterday. I mounted it on the handle bars of my bicycle and snapped the Garmin etrex Venture HC GPS unit in. It fit perfectly. The mount can be adjusted to position the GPS unit so you can properly read the display.

My only complaint is that no assembly and install instructions are included but if you look at the picture of the mount, it’s simple enough to assemble. You will have a few parts left over as they include parts to be able to mount it on various sized bars.

It’s solid and well built. It’s well worth the price.

5 Stars Solid Mount
This RAM handlebar mount for a Garmin Vista HCx is “solid as a rock”… I have it mounted on motorcycle and it doesn’t shake/vibrate at all. The articulated arm helps to position the gps where ever you want it.

5 Stars Works great, nice and rugged
I bought this mounting system to hold my Garmin GPS for my motorcycle. The two ball joints make the mount position easily in pretty much any direction. The U-clamp to hold it on the handlebars is sturdy, and when all is tight the mount does not move. It even comes with a little plastic clip to attach to your GPS lanyard and clip to the mount in case the GPS either comes loose or you take it out and drop it. Great product!

5 Stars Simple, Strong, and Durable.
I mounted my Garmin etrex Venture HC to the handlebar of my Yamaha XT225 dualsport motorcycle using this RAM mount.

Installation was straightforward, and the ball mount let’s me adjust to many different positions. This was really helpful, as free space is scarce on the handlebar, limiting my options for where to attach it.

This mount holds my GPS unit firmly, allowing no noticeable vibration. I even dropped my bike at 25mph when I hit a patch of ice on a dirt road, and the GPS stayed perfectly still, out of harm’s way. I am impressed.

I also like how easy it is to remove my GPS unit from the mount. When I park the bike in public, I do not want to leave the GPS out in the open for someone to snag, and removing it from this mount is as easy as pulling open the two tabs at the top.

Great product!

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Unpredictable
I love this product, when it works! I bought three of them for my family to use, and at least 2 out of the three have not worked on occasion. One of them doesn’t turn on anymore and then decides to turn on when not needed. There is obviously some issue with this device. I’ve had problems with the one I use too, it overheats easily and malfunctions quite frequently. When it works its fantastic but when it doesn’t there is no point in having it at all. It can’t be relied upon. I wish I could find another device more reliable. I wouldn’t recommend this model.

5 Stars Roadmate Review
Love it! Comes in so handy when traveling in unfamiliar areas. No regrets, made the right choice!

5 Stars Highly recommended the Magellan roadmate 1212 five stars
I got mine yesterday, new in the box, from Amazon for $122. It shipped free, if you can wait for about a week. The units works great out of the box. It acquired the satellite signal quickly, which I was so please. I bought (and returned) Garmin 580, borrowed another Garmin Nuvi (forgot the model number) and both were perfomed miserably. The G580 could not get a signal for 20 minutes on its first try; on the 2nd try, it took ONE HOUR! Additionally, it lost signal many times when I passed by rows of trees. The Nuvi was a little better in aquiring the signal, but it led me on a goose chase, took much longer route to get to my hotel from Disney, which supposed to be less than 4 miles. It also lost signal occasionally.

This Magellan 1212 is excellent. So far I got all bars (strong signal), and lost just 1 bar when I was in a parking garage that had 2 floors above me. The unit is compact. I read somewhere that people complained about the small screen, and even someone cracked the screen with light touch. I keep the screen adhesive on, just in case. It does not have all bells and whistles like blue tooth and live traffic update. I personally don’t care because my Volvo has blue tooth, and I know my city well to avoid the hot spots. So it serves my purpose of street navigation. I heard somewhere people said about its short battery time. I have not taken out of the car yet. It does not have the wall charger and USP cable. The manual comes in CD-ROM. Don’t spend $ buying the universal friction dash mount like I did. The unit comes with an adhesive pad for your dash board, and a windshield suction. It speaks the street names, anounces the turn well before, and auto-completes the spelling. For the price and features, I would say this units satisfy my expectation.Magellan RoadMate 1212 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

4 Stars Magellan RoadMate 1212
Product was easy to learn and use. Screen was a little smaller than I thought it would be.

3 Stars Mixed bag…
I actually purchased my 1212 broken off ebay. After some tweaking, I managed to make the darn thing boot again and got some software reloaded on it. Beginning with the original software, I must say I was very disgusted in the quality. I find the menu’s to be extremely clunky, the voice prompts annoying, and the map data not so up to date.

This aside, I REALLY like the quality of this device. The screen is exceptionally bright and crisp. The touch screen is very accurate. Build quality is exceptional with nice plastic and very ridged seams. It’s ashame the software is on such a lower level than the hardware…

And to follow up with some other reviews, this device is VERY picky about chargers. None of my USB chargers will charge this device, and few will power it. That’s probably my biggest gripe about this device, besides the software. However, that much can be fixed (ahem…not to be mentioned here…)
