Good unit. LOUD but you get one voice/ can't change it. Fairly intuitive. Screen takes more pressure to work than some others you may come across. Might take awhile to learn your neighborhood. Took a few minutes 1st time I fired it up to acquire my satellites. ( it was a used unit from New Mexico.) It announces you 2 miles out. Then twice more at .5 mile and at turn. POI database is pretty up to date. Like I said, it depends on what you get one for. Mine used. 99 cent plus 5 bux ship. It works. Battery charges.I haven"t updated it yet. Will report back after I do that. Conclusion: Look for a used unit. It'll do okay to get you there.

I have owned dozen of different brands of the GPS devices over a few years such as Tom tom,Garmin nuvi and Magellan gps receiver.Firstable,I love the life-time map&traffic easy update of the Magellan 5120-LMTX . No matter you're purchasing a brand new device,a refurbished device or used. Just plug the unit in your computer and go to Magellan's update web site to register your unit's model number,serial numbers and the date of purchased.You may enter any purchase date you want but the unit's model no. and serial no. must be the right one in order to register for the update the latest traffic,map and the device firmwares.Some users complained of troublesome in the map updates because they would have made mistakes in typo regarding to the device's model/serial numbers.Once you have entered and sent the wrong or missing serial numbers to Magellan server,problems would arise in serials so be careful. I like the large 5" Touch Screen allows easy viewing of your maps while driving,that makes it easy for the seniors but there's draw-back that I give it four-star because it's unlike the Garmin nuvi 1490T 's best screen that can resist to the bright and glares of the sunshine that has no problem to operate the unit under the direct sunshine and the Magellan 5120 User wouldn't have any luck under this condition.Moreover,the GPS receiver to sky satellite's not very precised. In test,the receiver is always about 25 yards behind the position.

I had another GPS which I really liked but it died and this one was available and reasonably priced. There are several pros to this unit: 1) the display is large and easy to read, 2) once you get use to its processing, the unit is easy to use, and 3) the lifetime maps and traffic alerts are priceless. My major con is that the display does not re-orient to the top position as you turn. The first time I noticed it, the travel arrow was heading downward as we were traveling. That took a little getting use too. I have not reviewed the settings tab to determine if that can be changed.
Item advertised as “refurbished” which is untrue. Maps have never been updated, battery life is less than 3 minutes, and mounting bracket does not stick to windshield .
