As you approach your next turn or lane change a pleasant chime or bell sounds so you do not overshoot the mark. I tested a Magellan unit a few weeks ago and found the turn chime hard to live without, leading to my purchase of a Magellan Roadmate 1470 for personal use.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has quickly become my GPS of choice. The Roadmate 1470 lists for $249 and has a current street price of $160 to $180. At those prices it is hard to pass up as it combines generous screen size, accurate navigation and a truly compelling feature set unmatched by competitors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->&#8220;The Roadmate 1470 has a big, crisp 4.7-inch display and the interface is very quick and easy to use. Routing and directions are very accurate, showing Magellan&#8217;s Point-A-to-Point-B navigation abilities to be top-class. The Roadmate 1470 has 6 million points of interest and an integrated AAA Tourbook with detailed write-ups and AAA Diamond Ratings for restaurants, lodging and attractions. AAA members can obtain local roadside assistance information by touching a button. Maps of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico are included.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Roadmate has an &#8220;Exit Points of Interest&#8221; button that appears on the left of the main navigation screen. Pressing it will display information about available facilities at upcoming highway exits. No more wondering if there is a McDonald&#8217;s or your preferred gas station within the next few exits. Lane Guidance with large, simulated road signs makes sure you stay on path, and, of course, the Roadmate 1470 has text-to-speech for spoken street names. An available traffic receiver (list $79, street price $41) provides free real-time traffic information.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!--tell a friend from http:\/\/www.refer-a-buddy.com ends here --><\/p>\n<p>Read the entire column at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.post-gazette.com\/pg\/09305\/1009661-468.stm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.post-gazette.com\/pg\/09305\/1009661-468.stm <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though I would not buy any other GPS given this deal, you can see more suggestions at my <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/donlinssouadv-20?node=12&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\">Recommended GPS Navigation Product Pages <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000U5TUWE?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=donlinssouadv-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000U5TUWE\" target=\"_blank\">Bracketron GPS mount<\/a>!\u00a0 It is under $15 at Amazon.com but usually sells for $40 in stores.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=donlinssouadv-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&amp;asins=B001VEIYAC\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=donlinssouadv-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&amp;asins=B000U5TUWE\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> It is compatible with the Magellan Traffic Link, on sale <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0021L9C0K?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=donlinssouadv-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0021L9C0K\" target=\"_blank\">for under $35 at Amazon<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=donlinssouadv-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=B0021L9C0K&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Questions? <a href=\"mailto:donlindich@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">Email Don <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.refer-a-buddy.com\" onclick=\"rab0308('soundadviceblog-com.cgi-data.com','165479773','0','0'); return false;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smallgreentree.net\/buddybuttons\/default.gif\" alt=\"Tell A Friend!\" style=\"border: medium none \" height=\"43\" width=\"147\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  addthis_url    = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soundadviceblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D1621';\n  addthis_title  = 'Magellan+Roadmate+1470+GPS+Navigation+for+under+%24140';\n  addthis_pub    = '';\n<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/addthis_widget.php?v=12\" ><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Magellan Roadmate 1470 GPS Navigation System There are lots of wonderful holiday deals popping up already.\u00a0 Amazon now has the wonderful Magellan Roadmate 1470 GPS on sale for under $140, a savings of $110!\u00a0 This is my favorite GPS and I purchased one for my own use.
