Amazon Vine™ Review(What's this?)
When our new Magellan G.P.S. arrived, I charged it for four hours. Then we took it out for an hour's spin in the country to put it through its paces. We were both impressed and disappointed. Here's our experience with the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T:

PROS:

1. Quick connection to the satellite, so the device knew exactly where we were traveling (as long as it was working).

2. Large, super-easy-to-read screen. With a quick glance it's easy to see Speed Limits, location, ETA, and more.

3. Over Speed Limit Warning - if you exceed the speed limit, the device will issue an audible warning.

4. Feature-packed device - Find a camping site or RV park near to your present location; see points of interest by type of interest (for example, food, medical care); find a gas station quickly. The presentation is quite impressive.

5. Nice large virtual keyboard makes entering addresses easy and accurate.

CONS:

1. Unit froze after thirty minutes - twice! We were able to restart it by turning the device off and allowing it to rest before restarting it successfully.

2. Unit has trouble recalculating if you leave the appointed itinerary. We drove onto country roads away from the freeway in order to see what would happen; the unit did not reconfigure itself quickly and seemed to have difficulty arranging a route back to the freeway.

OVERALL:

This is a great-looking device with a big screen and lots of features, but I would not be comfortable relying on it far from home.
