Review: Magellan RoadMate 6000T

Magellan has launched their new line of Automobile navigation systems, updating their line of product with fresh new entries that make the grade as far as features go. The new Magellan RoadMate 6000T is the flagship model in the line that offers a lot of capability in a flat form factor. Long time readers know that I like the idea of flat GPS units, and I welcome the idea for Magellan's new RoadMate line. The RoadMate 6000T comes with Bluetooth Handsfree capabilities as well as traffic capabilities. The maps are preloaded and the the 3.5 inch, color touch screen and buttons provide fast, one-touch access to key features, while nationwide street maps preloaded on the built-in hard drive deliver Turn it on and go!(TM), door-to-door guidance anywhere in North America. QuickSpell(TM) technology and the simple, intuitive user interface allow drivers to easily select their destination and get on the road quickly while seeing their progress in a 2-D or 3-D bird's eye view of the moving map.
This time the review comes from Pocket Lint over in the UK, where they call the GPS units "Sat Nav's", and such. If you can get by that, the review takes issue with the build quality, the interface and the button functionality, calling the unit "disappointing"
