I bought a Tom Tom because it was a good deal and had really good reviews. The Magellan I used to have was a million times better. The Tom Tom has got me lost several times already, and I have only had it a few weeks, So I bought the magellan 1440. The 1440 has been perfect so far. No complaints at all.
I sometimes drive close to 1000 miles in a week, and it is very important I get to where I am going on time and the magellan always gets me there on time.

I just received my GPS. Although it is very accurate and will get you there right on point, my issue is it takes me all around robin hoods barn no matter how I program it. I think it's going back.

I received my GPS unit and to date I have been very happy with it! Unit is a little slow to locate satellite in my are at first start.However not a major issue, once it locates my position I am off and running! Operation of unit is easy once you familiarize yourself with it. Appears to be very accurate. The text to speech is great and the lane assist is awesome! I do wish unit came with home charger though! Overall satisfied with this unit!

My score for this device is ZERO. Why!!! Because it's not an updated map in this device as HSN advertised on their program. I contacted Magellan about this issue and was told that my street and others near it are on another map and they have to contact someone else in their company to see if I will be allowed to download the updated map to this unit. What good is a GPS if I can't use it to return home. BUYERS BEWARE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. SHAME ON HSN. THIS IS GOING BACK.

I got my Magellan and left on a trip across country. It was so accurate, it was wonderful. The words are clear, and it easy to operate. I am always a little fearful when I get a new toy, because it might be too complicated. This is so user friendly that I had no problems. I would highly recommend this to anyone!!

I already own a magellan, a three year old one. i appreciated the text to speak function on the older model than on this one. i am sorry but this machine lacked the constant speech function. it was hard to program. i own three magellan so i know what i am talking about. this is a terrible disappointment. i have a 3.5 screen why not make the older models with a 4.3 screen and it will be a number one sellers. i tried this model for 4 days. i couldnot take it anymore. it went back.

I've been working with it for about 2 hours. I am a very geeky & can usually figure out ANY electronic item without instructions. Can't find my current location, assigns my home address as about 5 blocks away from me, My road is not even on here & it's 2 yrs old, You have to download a huge manual from their website. I have an apple iphone with terrific GPS, easy to use and figure out. So I held off buying a GPS, but I wanted the speak feature. so far I am not thrilled.

This Magellan is awesome. I currently own another Magellan for my other vehicle. We love it. Recently decided to try the Garmin model because it wasn't bad for the price (so I thought). I hated the Garmin. I returned it back to HSN ASAP. Decided to stick with my gutt and purchase another Magellan. This model is better and cheaper than the Garmin. I will only buy Magellan going forward.

I have owned 2 Garmin units that I purchased here as HSN. My Nuvi 750 had died just after a year. I am a tech & drive all day. Got If fast. Used it for a 300 mile trip. Great. Works great. Loud enough to hear. Lane assist on the Highways is great. Amazed at all the extra information you get when looking up stuff-Phone #, descriptions, cost, parking info, etc. Very happy with the purchase and at half the price of my Garmin. Uses the same map database as well. If you want a good GPS this is it.

I have been shopping for a lane assist gps. The lowest price
was $300/plus. This helps when you are doing 65mph on
the interstate. This is my 4th gps, three are well-known brand.
There are time when you get more than you pay for. My wife told
told me ..she would leave if I bought another gps, so I gave her
my other three and told her to see how far she could go before the battery die down.
