Magellan RoadMate 1420 Automotive GPS Receiver

This is an average GPS unit for GPS units made prior 2011. It is not upgradable without a fee, but for the going price of the unit used, it is a good bargin. I give it a lower rating on ease of use only for the touch display......it requires a bit more effort on the touch display than most other GPS units...basically you have to 'touch harder' as it is not sensitive at all....some folks may like this, but I don't.
It boots up and locates itself just as fast as the later models in the 100-200 dollar range and has all the bells that most models have, but dosn't have the 'change lane' feature, an dosn't have the free upgrades. I got this unit used for my son whom needed one and niether one of us had much to spare for a new model. He will be using it for commercial use, mostly main roads and such, so I'm confident it will serve him well.

GPS is better than I had anticipated for the price. Wide screen is excellent, waypoints are easy to work with. Fairly user friendly. This is an older unit, but very functional (no bluetooth). Above average GPS at below average price.

I previously owned the Magellan Roadmate 2200T Model and was very impress with it,so I purchased the 1420 model and REALLY impress with it accept ONE negative,the battery isn't good as the 2200t,and the 1420 has to be connected at all times in the vehcle,where the 2200t model lasts about five hours without a charge.
Over all the 1420 is a good buy,for clearness in the screen,loud alarms,very friendly user,and POI out of this world,and I think it stands out from the other GPS system,which is only my opinion.

I've been wanting a gps system for sometime now but didn't want to spend too much money on one. I purchased this gps at a great price, it's in excellent condition, and I am totally happy with it!

this is a great GPS I have no complaints with this model. It has all the features i could want on a car GPS and the voice of the unit is not annoying like some other brands.
