Magellan talk

I have been researching this gps for a while, and this is the lowest I've seen it so far.

Best Buy Canada has it on for $149 right now.

Futureshop does't carry it so no chance for price matching.

And the sale is on til Thursday March 26/2009 Midnight EST

I think I will go get this model at this price.

thx

hello, I recently had the chance to get a cheap meridian gps handheld but I was wondering if there is any updated maps for them? they only appear to be a few years old but totally unsupported on magellan's website. what maps I know of were 1:100,000 scale and not very good from what I've read

Good Morning, Afternoon, and Evening,

Be kind, my first post here...

I bought a 4370 a couple days ago and love it! Not any real complaints... except maybe one! I suspect this may be true for most (all?) GPS units...

Finally good reviews for Magellan - I have one and love it.

My Magellan Roadmate 1412 can simulate a route as if you are driving the route......I was just wondering if there is any point to this other than to experience the gps before you use it on the road the first time

Has anyone tried to use a 4040 on their motorcycle? The book says this is a no-no, I guess because of the vibration, etc.
Any ideas??

I haven't need my gps for awhile and when I turned it on today it does not talk or make sounds while routing me. I ran the audio test, and the audio is working. While I am driving, it no longer says anything and also doesn't beep when I am supposed to turn. Anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks

I have to say the redlight and speed camera files are working well in my Magellan 4040.

I put them in and the voice warning said "default category". So I split the files up into two categories, "Redlight Camera" and "Speed Camera" in the Magellan POI loader, and now it says that.

Magellan again has put the map update on sale. However, it is slightly higher than last time (55.99), but now they have reduced it to $49.99

Just noticed and downloaded firmware version 4.85 which took around 3 minutes to download and about the same to install.

I have been running DirectRoute 2 under Vista for about a year. I have Vista set to do automatic updates. One of the recent updates disabled DirectRoute.

I really feel stupid asking this but Magellan support is of absolutely NO help. I have a RM 760. When I try to activate Custom POIs, it says the file isn't loaded. I have the Magellan Roadmate POI manager for conversion of CSV files. But everyone I find on this website has either a GArmin or TomTom download. I assume the formats are different. Or are they?

That part of 1 202 was opened one year ago.
How do I update my 1412 roadmate?

i still have my magellan meridian color and i was wondering if i can put custom pois into the unit like i can with my 255w

How do I assign POI's to the built-in categories?

For instance...I create a POI for a local winery. I woul like it to display only when the "wineries" option is the "Map Setup/Display/wineries" option is checked to display?

Can addtional categories be added to the "Map Setup/Display" list such as "Grocery Stores"?

Is there a default Magellan file that might need editing?

Hello everyone I joined this site a few days ago(I have a Garmin) & think it's great.I paid my $20 & think it's well worth it. I've downloaded a few files & everything seems to be working great. My son has a magellan3140 & was wondering if he can download files for his magellan through my membership? Just asking.

I want to create a CSV to be able to import in to a colleagues Magellan Roadmate 1412 (using Magellan's software). However I cannot find the CSV file field format.

I need to know what items need to appear in what order in the CSV and what items I can put into the file to display.

Longitude? lattitude? Name? Address? Phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

David

Hello folks I just join this site so please bare with me. I have a Mag 3140 & I'm wondering if I donate my $20 will there be a file for my gps for the redlight cameras in Calgary ? Also I'm not that tech savy (yet)& was wondering how hard it is to put this kind of file on my 3140. Thanx in advance

OK, you experts out there I need some help.

I have a Magellan Maestro 4040 and I also have a Motorola Razor V3

I have no problems pairing/connecting the phone to the GPS and so far all of the Blue Tooth operations seem to work fine.

Entry level GPS buy you can't beat $59.99 with free shipping for a new unit.
