Great GPS
Reviewed by PaulB from Running Springs, CA on 11/10/2009 08:51 pm
This is the fourth Magellan GPS I have owned, the others being handhelds. The accuratcy is superb, taking me exactly where I want to go. I have no complaints except the battery seems to discharge over time when I am not using it. Not a big deal for me.
