The Magellan RoadMate 300 GPS Receiver is an excellent navigational GPS system! The manufacturer has created an extremely user-friendly unit for the first timer or the experienced user. The color screen is very clear and the prompts are timely. Set up of the unit can be accomplished without too much trouble. If any problems do occur the customer service people are excellant at walking you thru the issues. The software is great for most areas and can always be upgraded thru the manufacturers website. The manufacturer offers an extensive line of accessories for the unit that can enhance the usability of the unit in most environments.
Suggestions:
1. The internal GPS antenna is ok but the satellite signal can get intermittent in city traffic, cloudy days and stormy weather. Luckily the manufacturer equipped the unit for an external GPS Antenna. We suggest that you investigate the purchase of a Amplified GPS Antenna. Several are available for this unit at 50% to 100% savings over the Manufacturers Suggested Cost. Please see item descriptions at the following link. (They are rated at 100% to 300% higher gains (dB Gains) than the unit that the manufacturer offers.) http://stores.ebay.com/FIS4HER1-COM_W0QQsspagenameZMEQ3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm
2. Protect you expensive investment with protective case. These can be purchased at Ricepaddy1 Stores. http://stores.ebay.com/FIS4HER1-COM_W0QQsspagenameZMEQ3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm
Enjoy you unit and make sure to protect your investment!
