   I received this camera for my wife for my birthday and is pretty cool. There are all sorts of cool things I probably can not. Do not come with an owner’s manual, though most features are not available to me. I called the company and tried to convince me that the manual is a thing of the past. I found that writing an address and get from point A to point B. I live on the east coast and often have to drive around large cities. For one reason or another, the unit believes that the quickest route is to Times Square. Whenever I’m near a city trying to move toward the center of my city. If you have an owner’s manual could perhaps find a way to avoid esto.Esto is really a difficult subject to score. It seems he has many interesting features. I’m not a tech geek, but I’m not bad with electronics. I play with this thing, but without instructions, there is no way to get a higher percentage of these units posibles.Los programmers, this device is probably for you. Other people may want to look elsewhere. Rating: 1 / 5

   Before buying, pick up the phone and call customer service. You find it in India and good for nothing. They will meet on items that have been promised, they know nothing of the goods and are completely useless. To test this report, I dare you to try to find someone in the United States to speak. Each phone number is in India and there is no American presence at all. Do not waste your money. Buy nothing, but Magellan. Call (909) 394-500 to verify that what I say is true. Rating: 1 / 5

   This is the only GPS unit that I used so I do not know how it compares to others, so I gave it a 3 because it is a score media.Me him go after several attempts and become frustrated increasing turn it off and start a lado.Tengo must say I was spoiled for GPS apparently because for almost a year, I was using the GPS navigation on my phone from Verizon called VZ Navigator.Nunca used GPS before reaching this phone, but it is really necessary for the drive i go to work and many places I’ve never been before, and often had a GPS when I’m in thinking about how long I salvarme. entonces Verizon phone, switching from another carrier, he came with a free trial of navigatore VZ. It was one of those things that fell in love was everything I wanted and more. The $ 10 monthly cost as much, but I do not want to be without him. It makes me feel safe to know that I have. I had no experience with GPS. VZ Navigator I found to be intuitive, simple, easy to use while driving, very useful and accurate, I was very happy with it, very well designed, easy to see and hear me recently instrucciones.Pero gave a wrong direction something never done before and I got to thinking maybe I can get a real GPS.Compré around a lot and decided on the Magellan 3140, and was very excited about it, but from the first day, I was frustrated and disappointed. Right out of the box, I wanted to learn to use it to learn it, especially since he has been used for a different interface, so I needed to learn to get the same results in a diferente. Por Unfortunately the battery was almost dead and no charger. So how am I supposed to learn to use? It was supposed to drive in my car aimlessly for an hour during the loading? He was trying to learn interface while driving? obviously not secure. So I had, with great difficulty finding a store that had a charger to work with him, interrupting my work, I called several stores before finding one at Radio Shack. Spent $ 35 million on a charger and an adapter for the charger, I returned to my office and began to explore GPS.Así, compared to poor comienzo.Además provide a suction mount and an adhesive on the mountain. I did not stick somethnig in my car, especially before they have tasted. Unfortunately, in my state, it is illegal to put anything on your windshield. So I broke the law to use the thing and worried that I get a ticket and a fine. I found that Garmin has a removable pair of frames that need not be in the windshield, the assembly and the bean bag friction mount. Why have not Magellan somethnig like that? Like another reviewer, I found the first day when a crucial piece of the unexpected drop in the saddle, fell to my knowledge, in my car, and when I discovered it was a party, are upset because the cup does not work without it, is one of the things that the adjustment to fit. I was able to find under my front seat, I was lucky not to fall on my knees, then eventually outside the car. It would be easy to miss this piece if I had the largo.Cuando thing home from the office, the GPS took strange direction, my direction of the highway. Even if I chose “The majority of roads,” he insisted to give me the route without highways, apparently because one was shorter and it is planned to take the shortest route. When I played with him at home later, I walked into my office address and refused to give me directions using the road. Nonfreeway road can be a little shorter, but it takes much more time – this is not good. I know the way to my office and I knew that Magellan does not give me the best directions and can choose the best way to go instead, but if I’m in a strange place trying to get the quickest and I will be directed away from the highway, which is not good. Detour using I found I could force him to give me a highway route, but it was a challenge, not something I’m going through while I’m in the car, and if I’m in an area Unknown, I do not even know if there is anywhere near the road where I am if I saw that I would not be able to trust the GPS to give me the fastest way instead I went into the oncoming traffic on the surface of the street. What is the point of having this feature does not work? By far the thing that struck me the most frustrating and least of the majority of VZ Navigator was as if I have not heard a statement from the speaker is not that strong enough, or because I ‘were daydreaming and not paying much attention to the GPS unit time, or because I’m on a cell phone call, I can press a button to talk and repeat the address. The VZ Navigator, if you want to listen to a new address, you simply press the discussion and I will repeat as many times as desired. It seems like such an important role, I guess all GPS units have this, but now we know that this is not the case – and not just Magellan, but almost all the models I look at all brands, are not capacidad.Me this important seemed much easier to listen VZ Navigator on my RAZR to hear the voice of Magellan. And célula.Otra Bluetooth stays connected to the important element in VZ Navigator that will be sorely missed in the Magellan is in the cell, i intuitively easy to navigate forward to see the next step in light colors and imagry words, only with the right button on the phone, or left to go and come. I can keep pressing the right button to see each step of the way before me, individually, to plan in my mind, to conceptualize the Magellan ruta.Por to see the next step of the way, I use the screen Touch is not sensitive enough, which forced me to use my eyes to focus on the screen and in search of the screen that I needed the press, and pushing hard enough for her to meet and then would go to a screen that had a text list of all stages of the journey, which would then have to read carefully. Considering that the VZ Navigator, all I had to do was simply press the right button on the phone without looking at the phone to go step by step, and when I look in the phone to see the process is single color light showing a step at a time, I do not look, or I can press the middle button on the phone without looking down, which is the talk button, and you only hear the step. It is a distraction mínima.Hasta Magellan I took these user-friendly functions in the cell for granted, I had to take GPS devices these features and more, and better, because the phone is not really a GPS device, but it’s GPS phone is much more advanced and better designed for its function and propósito.Por I was greatly damaged by the experience VZ Navigator. If I never had the GPS interface, I was happy as a clam with the Magellan 3140, but this is not what pasó.Considero which is a major defect that can not be repeated in one direction . This seems a obviedad.Y able to move step by step is very útil.También Magellan has had the occasional accident, freezes and insects, like a couple of times in two weeks I used it, was crushed and completely turned off, and a couple of times, but not let me write the address as if I wanted to 99th St type, give me a list of streets just after writing the first nine and did not leave me end address, which is spending at least twice. Very frustrating, my time is short, I do not have time to stop and fight with the GPS to find out how llegar.Otra annoying is the input text automatically. In the VZ Navigator, which quickly learns frequently used addresses and cities, and even if one address has been used once, it quickly gives you the opportunity if you start typing a few letters of the name. I live in Los Angeles. All I have to do in the VZ Navigator is to write the letter “L” and I’m in Los Angeles. For Magellan, I was always Losan type before giving the possibility of Los Angeles. So I’ve just been spoiled by a better interface that makes everything easier. I like to find a special unit that had an interface estilo.Por Finally, I hoped to have the function when I got the Magellan TrafficKit. The day I received it, he called customer support and asked how to subscribe and how much it costs. I was put on hold for a long, long time and finally said that at present, this model does not possess the characteristics of the movement, despite the announcement of Amazon said “you can get up minute traffic reports, or something. The representative told me that in six months or more, this model has the property of tráfico.He decided to add another $ 4 to my own cell phone and use Verizon as traffic works very bien.Hubo a number of positive things about the Magellan unit. My view was naturally affected by having several high-end features into the GPS in my phone. First, it was a very good price, I think, a little over $ 300.Lo obtained through Amazon and 6ave electronic customer service was the best, a ++++++. Songs of return shipping and refund within 24 hours when they received the unit, friendly and helpful. I would do business with them every day and enjoy the trading system of the Amazon. Every time I communicate with 6ave and realized that it was an operation in the Amazon, has entered a “no problem” mode. He was careful mí.Pensé the manual was thorough, clear and well organized. I do not even have a manual on CD because I have a Mac and a manual on CD for Windows only, but the online manual on the Magellan website has been useful in identifying the interface. I’m sure it would have been easier for me if I was not prepared to use interface and very diferente.He found Magellan to be quick to find direcciones.Me gave a rating of three stars, even if my experience was more negative than that, but given that I ‘would have preferred if they have the first interface to another, and I could tell from my research, other brands of GPS are similar to those of Magellan and not the VZ Navigator. So, compared Tom Tom and Garmin, may be as good or better. Rating: 3 / 5

   I for my friend who just moved into my town and I had no idea how to move. He has to plan each trip outside the neighborhood, in every detail – which is ideal for GPS. If you have the correct address, and we know where it goes, in general. This is not good to have a GPS in case of loss or need directions somewhere spontaneous’re do not know. I did lose several times, took me by certain quarters liquidation mad and ended up spending an hour to reach casa.Como I said, you must have a clear plan of where you go before you go, and know the exact address where it is headed. Can not be at the center of town and decides he wants to find the nearest Home Depot or the cinema. He has a couple of restaurants and service stations and it is expected. You can not see in front of the map that shows only. Navigating the menu is nothing more frustrating because you have to enter each letter and number, again, to find ways to save, etc. Not easy to use, or for someone who is not phenomenon gadget. Above all, I am totally lost confidence in him because he got me Lost more than once. LOST! ** UPDATE ** 09/12/08Sigo hate this GPS system, in fact, I refuse to let my boyfriend use it even when I’m in the car because it is very irritating to the LTA. I know Atlanta like the back of my hand and in many cases this has given the wrong address. It does not recognize our departure, which is outside the other hand it is a bit complicated, but there are signs HELLO our path, but the GPS can not understand. Positions also right when you need to know where to go and end up losing your turn. It has helped my boyfriend a few times when I had to go somewhere without me, but other than that, it’s totally unnecessary. You better google the instructions in advance or get GPS on your phone. This thing should not be forgotten. Rating: 1 / 5
