Finally cured my remorse about not buying nav. Got a Magellan. Awaiting delivery. Any experience or comments?
I have the Magellan 750M. I absolutely love it! It has more "points of interests" and CORRECT Street addresses then the NAV in my friends new Benz. I'm not sure about the 700, but my 750M has the entire USA and Canada, something like 11,000,000 miles of addressable roads.
One of my favorite features is the national yellow pages. I've used it to find hotels on the fly by searching for the nearest hotel, calling them up with the provided phone number, and then getting driving directions to the place... All without stopping the car.
The address book can store up to 150 (I think) destinations, plus your last 20.
When I first got my system, I kept getting error messages. I returned it to the manufacturer (Thales Navigation), they were absolutely super to deal with.. They fixed the problem, installed a complimentary software upgrade, then followed up with a call to make sure I was satisfied. Then they told me they would have sent me a free loaner system, all I had to do was ask. They are one of the few companies I ever dealt with whose service absolutely blew me away.
You made good choice!:29:
