Magellan RoadMate 300 vs. 360 vs. 700 vs. 760 vs. 800 vs. 860T
So with the launch of several new Magellan GPS devices lately, there seems to be a fire sale on their older RoadMate units. The familiar units are going for some unbelievable prices online. Since they aren’t featuring these on their website anymore, one has to think that they are going away. Here’s a run-down of the models to know what you are looking at:
Magellan RoadMate 300 – 3.5 inch touchscreen interface, you load the maps onto 128MB of internal, but ideally onto your own big SD card from your PC so that you can navigate the country without re-loading another region, voice prompted turn directions, comes with map software, and the ability to hook up to your PC via USB cable. (Not a total great buy as Amazon is dropping prices faster than the other sellers.)
Magellan RoadMate 360 – moving up from the RM300, this model adds pre-loaded maps and Points of Interest on an SD card. You still get touchscreen and voice prompted navigation.
Magellan RoadMate 700 – Better screen and Quickspell input minimizes typing while finding a POI or town.
Magellan RoadMate 760 – Builds on the RM700 and has automatic light and volume adjustments, so the RM760 changes brightness based on ambient light, and ups the volume as you go faster to counter the road noise.
Magellan RoadMate 800 - Has up to 6 million POI’s, and has the SmartDetour feature that allows you to recalculate a new route around slow situations. Also adds an MP3 player and a photo viewer.
Magellan RoadMate 860T - adds on TMC traffic feed capability; comes with 15 months of traffic feeds for free.
