Pros: Mostly accurate, easy to use, and easy to read.
Cons: Few glitches with voice navigation prompts. Additional charge for using larger CF cards for maps.
Summary: The Magellan Roadmate 500 is identical to the more expensive Roadmate 700 except that the map data on the 500 is stored on a CF card rather than a built in hard drive. The unit I purchased is the 500 "plus" which ships with a 256K CF card and a suction ...

Pros: Interface is nice and the unit is light and compact.
Cons: Very incompatible with my PC (Windows XP Pro) and downloading maps is a chore.
Summary: First I bought the 300 model but had so many problems linking it to my XP desktop, that I upgraded to the 500. The interface is great but the unit itself is a waste. When I fire up the system, it shows me that I'm in San Dimas, CA. Well, I live in Bend, ...

Pros: Very accurate and easy to use.
Cons: It shouldn't cost $50 to 'authorize' a CF card!
Summary: Judging by the number of reviews, I must be the only one that has purchased the RM 500. So far, I am very happy with it. I've had it a week. It is accurate except on secondary streets in medium-small towns. So far, I have not been misled by its ...

Pros: Not a single thing! - seriously Cons: Unit is simply unfit for purpose - seriously
Summary: Triton 500 value pack didn't work out of the box, Fatal Application Errors. Been back to distributor and "fixed". Do not believe anyone if they tell you a software revision will resolve the issues. I am appalled by the fragile nature of the software,

Pros: Really do not have anything good to say
Cons: Just say NO. Return if you can.
Summary: This is my 2nd handheld GPS and I am wondering why I didn't check the reviews first. My last GPS was a Garmin eTrex that I purchased 8 years ago. The Garmin held up well but was limited on features. The Magellan 500 cost twice as much as the Garmin eTrex

Pros: Small and made of plastic and will keep papers from moving on your desk.
Cons: Terrible technical support and service, lousy product, can't perform basic GPS functions. Don't buy Magellan!
Summary: Magellen has the worst technical support and customer servie deptment in the USA. This Triton 500 is of very poor quality and features will not work and they can't fix the problem. The track feature will not work poperly if at all and they can't fix.

Pros: Small size and that's the only good thing I can say.
Cons: Poor tech. support, lousy product, buy anything but Magellan. Don't waste your money!!
Summary: I have owned 4 different GPS units in my life and this is the Gold metal winner for the Piece of Crap award. Don't waste your money, look to Garmin or another brand. Not only is the unit of poor quality and even worse performance, the technical support

Summary: In my previous review I was upset as I had issues with this product. Well after dealing with a bad attitude tech , I got another rep that was great, they serviced the unit but not to any great change. Now as of today , they are sending a replacement. So
