Magellan RoadMate 5230T LM Navigator Lifetime
I am very happy with the Magellan RoadMate 5230T-LM (man, that's a long model number!) it's just such a good GPS Navigator and much more!
The 5230T-LM is very accurate at saving you time during trips, you can set it up to give you the fastest route or the shortest distance to your destination, which in many cases, is not the same route. I purposely "got lost" many times to test how accurate the unit was. I would assign a "point of interest" and make the wrong turns just to see how long it would take it to catch up to me, let me tell you it's fast! in most cases it will have a new route to follow before I even hit the next intersection.
During traffic jams, a small timer will appear right next to the traffic warning sign, which tells you how many minutes it estimates you will be stuck in there. Touch the warning sign and it will give you am alternate route to follow. It will compare both routes for you and give you an estimated arrival time for each one. At this point you can opt to avoid traffic or deal with it. A traffic jam does not necessarily mean that it will be the most time consuming route to get to your destination. You definitely need this feature if you live in one of the crowded cities.
The highway lane assist is one of those features that you might not think you need unless you had to deal with lower end GPS units that don't offer such features. This feature helps you make sure that you are choosing the correct lane to exit during a freeway interchange. You'll be glad you have this feature, trust me!

This is my first GPS and I love it, I work for a small print shop and the week i got the GPS I also had to make deliveries out of town into Cleveland and this GPS was a big help.
BalasHapusI like how it has a directory to save the directions for the next time you have to make the trip. The voice is very pleasing it sounds just like the voice for the text to speech on my Kindle Keyboard so a familiar voice i know well
The display is nice and big and very easy to see, putting in the address is very simple. I like how it gives you the speed limit for the road you are on and the speed limit sign will glow when you are going over the posted speed.
It worked great for me even when it came to construction zone as turned off the planned path it found me a way to find myself back on path beyond the construction.
Boots right up and finds my locations within minutes.Wont go on long trips without it.

We have given the GPS a real workout without any problems. All the features work as advertised and we are very pleased.
BalasHapusThe Magellan RoadMate 5230T-LM is a hard GPS to beat due to the wide variety of features it offers and is one I've been very pleased with from the moment I started using it. And, I've been using it a lot.
BalasHapusHere's why I like this GPS:
(1) It has a large (5") vibrant touch screen with both day and night views for easy visibility
(2) It provides free lifetime map updates and free lifetime traffic updates
(3) It allows for free traffic camera alerts for one year by providing audible and visual warnings to alert
you to fixed red light and speed cameras
(4) It allows you to search and route to millions of preloaded points of interest, such as restaurants, gas
stations,and various shopping locations
(5) It provides realistic junction views of freeway signs and arrows to guide you to the correct lane to make
driving directions easier and less stressful
(6) It enables you, if you prefer, to receive directions using landmarks as your guide instead of street names
(7) Provides spoken street names and directions several times before approaching your next turn or exit
without requiring you to take your eyes on the road
(8) Offers a one touch favorites menu to create shortcuts to your favorite destinations and previous searches
with personalized bookmarks
(8) Provides speed limit warnings with optional settings for visual and audible alerts
(9) Provides AAA roadside assistance to enable AAA members to get information on their location in order to get

most use of freeways
All in all, I haven't found any problems with this GPS worth commenting on; and,as such, feel very comfortable recommending it highly to you. As a matter of fact, due to some of its unique features and somewhat lower price, I prefer this Magellan GPS to the comparable Garmin model that I own.
