was great at first. [...]it started to restart every time I hit 'go'. now I have to keep it and HOPE the 'fix' works when I figure out how to download it. this is my second try at finding a good gps. it was better than the first one I tried which cost twice as much. need it for multi-destination trip around town.

Comments about Magellan RoadMate™ 1470 Portable GPS:

I love this GPS it is very accurate and easy to use. I have owned a few different types of GPS including Tom Tom, Mio, Navagon, and Garmen. The Tom Tom and Garmen are slow to acquire satellites and the Navagon was horrible with its accuracy. You will love this product if you have a need for quick connections, fast and easy directions, and simple to use interface.

Comments about Magellan RoadMate™ 1470 Portable GPS:

I travel for my job and frequently need a GPS in unfamiliar areas. My first purchase was a Nextar in early 2007 and that went back after 3 bad units freezing up. I then got a Garmin Nuvi 200 and still have it but the cost of map updates made me want to get a new unit. At first I was dead set on a Garmin however I went for the underdog and am very pleased. Although it doesn't have a "stand-by" mode and takes 30-45 seconds to acquire satellites, that did not break me on choosing it. Cord placement could be annoying to those who remove the unit from the cradle a lot. I just remove the unit with the cradle and it's no big deal. The large 4.7" screen is easy to read, trip planning is simple, directions are spoken clearly with plenty of volume to spare. It does not have Bluetooth but that's what I have Bluetooth earpiece for. The Lane assist is awesome while travelling NJ arteries. Points of interest and user ability to modify map to show POI's is great. I was skeptical at first and thought Garmin was the only one to have but I am sold. Great buy
