Customer Reviews

Good for the price, slow recalculation!
Nice software and voice instructions. The major problem is the slow recalculation. This becomes an issue when you are in the crowd. If you got out of track, the GPS acquires your current location, then starts recalculating, which takes about one minute!. Since you are moving (remember, you are in the crowd!), the route is always outdated. The GPS then starts to get into the crazy mode of recalculating, re-re-calculating!. The way out is to find a parking area to stop and let it do the job (sometimes you may need to restart to force it to recalculate the route).

Simple and convient
I bought this item as a replacment to one that was stolen from me. I like it because it is simple and convient, extreamly easy to use. Only downside is that there never seems to be an update for it. I've had it for over a year and this replacement is the same make and model but still no updates for any of the new streets and freeways around where I have traveled. This refurbished model works just like new.

Great value for the money so far....
I've wanted a GPS Auto Nav for a long time. It was hard for me to justify laying out alot of money for one though. Maps and computer trip planners have always worked.

I saw the RoadMate 1200 on sale new for $80 and decided to give it a try. It is a basic unit that doesn't have some of the (unnecessary) bells and whistles that some of the more expensive units have. It DOES have all the things that make a Auto Nav unit valuable though. Points of interest, restaurants, fuel, shopping, coffee, etc...

After buying it I got in the car, plugged it in and punched in my home address. I didn't need to read the directions. Very easy to operate. It took me turn by turn, right to my door step. I have a airplane runway and hangar on my 20 acres and the RoadMate even showed the runway and hangar on the screen when I got close to my house.

It is very simple to use. The screen is bright and clear. Touch buttons worked great. The guy complaining about the buttons not working is complaining about the Spell Assist. His unit is not malfunctioning. He just isn't using it correctly. When it is used right, it works well. There are a few bad reviews for this unit on C-Net and another review site that are severely out of date. The RoadMate has improved since then and they have it listed at $199. Nobody is selling it for over half that now. They need to re-evaluate their info.

Anyway, mine is working well so far. It is a good entry level GPS that will get you where you are going. I do notice that there is some info that needs to be updated on the software. I hear Magellan will do this for free.
