Never Get Lost Again - Map Reading is a Thing of the Past

Do you spend much time planning and control maps routes on the road. You do not have any more with a Magellan RoadMate.
I working in the film industry, scouting possible locations for shooting. These can be built on top of urban areas and remote locations throughout California.
I sometimes had problems finding my way, even with detailed instructions. I spent so much time parked in reading maps I made driving.
Then RoadMate and I bought a few hours later I felt I never dive again. The RoadMate works right out of the box, uncomplicated set-up and not downloading information - perfect for a technophobe like me!
Now I do not waste time scribbling instructions. I switch the unit on when I enter the car and within seconds, has a fix in my position (even in the car port).
I have my contact me give the address or even a landmark around, and enter it in RoadMate. As such, it is my destiny. And if I will be going to that destination again can save it in memory for future use.
It offers 4 modes - the first time I chose tested it out " " shortest route from home to office, and he displayed almost exactly the route I would get chosen.
You yard by yard voice instructions (to not have to look at the screen while you drive), which corrects directions immediately if you take a wrong turning, and there is a hand & quot ; Repeat " for a moment again if you do not hear a instruction.
If you need a visual representation of where you are, there is a useful " 3-d ", sets the lamp-posts and garbage cans. The screen is easy to read, with views to be used in both light and dark conditions.
The useful voice will even give you a count of meters until you reach your destination, even if the destination is a remote dirt-track.
I What I can guarantee RoadMate has saved countless hours and frustration of reading maps and getting lost.
When I go home, I choose my address those stored in memory, and off I go. If I saw any roads I avoid the road, traffic jams, for example, I can specify avoiding them, and the RoadMate has new directions for me right away.
All all, is a tool I do not want to be without. nohemi henry
