jackt357's Full Review: Magellan RoadMate 1412 Car GPS Receiver
I have owned and tried many GPS units over the last couple of years and they all had their good points and bad points. I have now found one that I think is the best one I have ever had, and it has flaws too, which I will go into later. I will not bore you with all the specs, you can look those up for yourself. I will give you the high points that I like about this unit. The voice clarity is much better than some I have owned and you can actually understand the names of the streets when this one tells you to turn.One good feature is just before you get to your turn a doorbell rings letting you know that you should turn at the next street or road and it tells you which way to turn. It also splits the screen about a quarter of a mile from your turn and shows you which way to turn and it is large enough for you to see. The colors are brilliant and I really like the fact the the surrounding green landscape actually looks green and when passing water it is as close to blue as you can get. It has maps of the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. It has several user options that you can easily setup.The quick start guide which comes on the first time you turn it on easily guides you through the setup process and time zones, etc. The user manual is on CD for those with computers. It offers you several different route selections such as mostly interstate, less interstate, fastest route and shortest route. I really like this unit alot and I am giving it a real workout. It can also help you learn the names of the highways and streets where you are traveling as all croosroads names show up on the screen. The best news is the price, you will not spend a fortune for this quality unit.
