About This Brand

Magellan lays claim to developing the first commercially available handheld GPS receiver, the NAV 1000, introduced in 1989. The California company makes portable navigation systems for hikers in addition to automobiles, and it is the supplier of the NeverLost system used in Hertz rental cars. Magellan units have scored well in our testing, and we've been impressed with some of Magellan's newest models. The company is credited with introducing the first portable nav system that can respond to voice commands. But like other portables with that feature, we have seen mixed results in our testing.

Comment:
I got it mostly for my wife who hates freeways and is terrible with directions. Since the GPS allows her to choose her route avoiding freeways, she loves it. It's only been off one time.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
