Works well enough
I've used this numerous times to find my way around blocked roads and unfamiliar cities. It was a good GPS for it's time, but I'd suggest now to find a newer model, computer interface is pretty clunky and slow with this model if you want to upload more detailed maps to it. Recommendation: Nice GPS, past it's prime, look for something newer if you are buying. .... Read more

Upgrading your Magellan Platinum GPS
Yes, I agree that the Meridian Platinum is a wonderful GPS. However, I just logged on to the Meridian website and pulled down the latest upgrade to this GPS. The instructions were very clear about using batteries more than half full to complete the upgrade. I inserted new batteries to do the seemingly simple upgrade. The upgrade lasted more than three hours while the instructions said the task would take only a few minutes. During the upgrade, the batteries completely discharged and the unit shu .... Read more

Magellan Roadmate 3000T - Stay away
I purchased a Roadmate 300T in April. In August the units batteries would not charge. I called the Technical Support and was told to send it in to the RA Center in Ft. Worth. I sent it in and never heard back from Magellan. I've called Technical Support 15 times and I'm told something different each time. I was told today that they don't have the software to even determine the status of the unit. All they can do is tell you that thay are working on your unit. They don't have access the th ....

Magellan Tech Support is Terrible
My Magellan Meridian Platinum has somewhere around 50 to 80 hours of use during elk hunting seasons during the last two yesrs. Seemed to be OK unit when it worked.
I took it out this year (Sept 2006) and it didn't work. Changed multiple sets of batters and nothing. Tech support in India is terrible. You explain what you have done, they seem to listen, then they begin asking questions (in poor US English) that starts with stupid questions and covers what you just told them.

Ridiculously Disapointing!
I travel a lot in relatively tough conditions in a 4X4. Last week I went into Northern Arizona--I figured...what the heck I might as well get a GPS to help me as I will be 70+ miles from the nearest town. Not only did the unit fail to get more than 2 satellites --useless for point recognition--it asked me for the lat and long of where I was!!! What a joke--Magellan sucks! Isn't that what the GPS is supposed to do? tell you where you are and not the other way around? Going to Garmin. .... Read more
