Review on ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Magellan RoadMate 2200T: Reliable 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator by Marvin Nadeau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doubtful GPS, finder and accessories

I bought the 2200T for bike and car use. I was looking for a battery powered waterproof handheld GPSr under $500. The Megellan 2200T fits perfectly, but after two weeks of use I noticed some glaring flaws in the 2200T1. Questionable routing. I've had some downright odd routes that I really wonder if I trust2. If you are on the highway, this GPSr will NOT show city names. I've tried all zoom levels, 2 and 3D, all to no avail. At the right zoom level you will see a city with streets but no name! 3. Adding POIs is quite cumbersome, you need to use two programs to add personal POIs.4. The interface could be simplified a bit, sometimes you have to go through 4 or 5 pages to get something done. The screen is difficult to scroll, you see a circular cursor, but since you're using a touchscreen it's actually difficult to maneuver. All of the above issues are related to the software. Megallan needs to provide a firmware update as soon as possible to fix some of these issues.

Pros
  • GOLS certification
Cons
  • I am concerned
