Excellent so far! June 5, 2009 Newbie 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have had my unit for about two weeks now and have been testing it out on all my local trips to make sure it works and does not send me in the wrong direction locally, so I know I can depend on it when I have no idea where I am going. It has been great and has guided me to every point without incident. The voice prompts are very clear. The night mode is excellent and the unit is very easy to see. The interface is extremely user friendly, my 9 year old insists on typing in all our addresses and she has already mastered it. The POI's are also very cool. It has found every restaurant or drug store I have searched for. The one complaint I have is the outdated map and that is not really the units fault. If you call magellan within 30 days of receipt and jump through a few hoops (provide proof of purchase and pay $10 shipping) you get an updated map. Overall excellent unit so far..
Best choice for value. March 3, 2009 Sean R. Riley (Drexel Hill, PA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was referred to Magellan's products through use of a friend whom already owns one and I stand by my choice to return my tom tom neither may not be as fast as some, but the Magellan roadmate 1430 with free traffic subscription is the choice to go with and the deal here you can't beat from where I've seen if you can find it anywhere else anymore.
Pros:
UI (user interface): easy to navigate menus. widescreen certainly comes in handy for scrolling and typing.
Automatically traffic detouring.
Auto reroute
Trip planner / Multiple destinations automatically sorts multiple destinations per trip.
Voiced street names announced for every turn including freeways exit/on ramps
and oh yeah my favorite the doorbell or chime to alert when exactly your turn is coming up and its balls on accurate every time!
Cons:
Touch screen response has its moments, but seems to be only when it hasn't warmed up.
There is only one (1) way point you can set at a time, but I never seem to mind that since it saves previous addresses for later if you find yourself needing to use them again.
no pedestrian mode.
Overall I love this model it only has what I need it for and that's GPS!
Definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Excellent choice January 14, 2009 Barry K. Westman (Janesville, WI) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I would definitely recommend the Magellan RoadMate 1430 unit. This is our first GPS, and after much research, I decided to go with this one based on the good reviews it has received from users, the features you get for the price, and a great deal that was being offered. I'm very happy with the unit. It does what it says it can do, and without any problems.
I still haven't opened the manual yet, because it's so easy to get going. The unit walks you right through it, and you're up and running in no time. Good choice.
Excellent Upgrade That cost less. April 8, 2009 Joshua Davy (Western, MD) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I "upgraded" from an older Roadmate 3000T. This RoadMate 1430 takes all the things that are good about the old one and improves on them. Very easy to navigate touchscreen. Just play with the screen pushing different icons and you will love how easy it is. You don't have to always go to different screens to change things. I love the multidestination feature and the spoken street names. The only thing that will make these GPS units better is if they team up with google or mapquest, etc, so you can custom make a map and import it into the gps. Now that would be the ultimate. I have never had any need for the traffic re-routing.
Great for my first GPS! August 20, 2009 Oldman114 (Here, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've never owned a GPS before, so I don't have a lot to compare my review to, but I am really happy with this system. It seems to be accurate and gets me to where I need to go. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is in the market for one.
