Review: Magellan Roadmate 2200T

Filed under: Auto GPS, Magellan — Tags: , — Brian C @ 5:02 am

This Magellan Auto GPS unit got me all the way to Toronto Canada and back home in the USA with no problems. Even the construction on the USA-Canada Bridge at Detroit did not cause it any problems. The text to speech function is very helpful when driving in unfamiliar places. One feature I really appreciate is the ability to preview the entire journey, in text or in simulation mode.
