Magellan RoadMate 1470

I was just looking at some of the new portable GPS navigators and saw the Magellan RoadMate 1470. This model builds on some of the best features available for GPS Navigators. Here are some of the features available:

• 14.7 Color touch screen - Large wide-format touchscreen
• 6 million points of interest - Gas stations, hospitals, restaurants and more
• Expanded Map Pack - United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico pre-loaded
• Text to Speech - Hear the street names, now exactly when to turn without taking your eyes off the road
• Intuitive user interface - makes it easy to use your Magellan Roadmate 1470 without reading the instructions
• Ultra thin design - makes it easy to pocket and take with or transfer between vehicles
• SmartDetour - The Magellan RoadMate 1470 will prompt you to bypass slow or stopped traffic. It will automatically find the shortest route, no fee or subscription required
• Auto-Night View - Self adjusts contrast and brightness to make night use easy
• Multi-Destination Routing - Got a bunch of stops to make? Plot them all and get the quickest route

Magellan also offers a service called Traffic link. Traffic link will alert you to current traffic conditions for the area you are currently traveling in. The service is free however, it requires a plug in device in order to access the information. The device, called Magellan Traffic link for subscription costs $79.99 (though it is Free with the purchase of a Magellan Roadmate 1470 through April 30th, 2009). Be aware that the service is free because you will be receiving special offers from premium vendors on your roadmate 1470. Think of them as like commercials on the radio. Thats what it really amounts to.

Bottom Line: The Magellan Roadmate 1470 is a sleek, feature packed, high quality GPS device.
