MAGELLAN RM 1212 3.5" GPS Navigation

works well for the price, loud voice, very good and clear display even when there are many roads very close to each other. really like the extra piture for some turns that are a bit more complex (two or more turns one right after the other)

sometimes routes you through some odd ways and twise it has asked me to go the wrong way on a one way street

This thing can be used effectively just by listening to it. The text to voice design is so well done that I very seldom (often never) have to look at it or touch it. It's sensitivity is very high. I have used it in my shirt pocket just listening to it...

Minor stuff

It speaks and is plenty loud.

THE MAPS SUCK. Not the complete fault of the GPS but they did decide who would provide the maps...

I bought this to replace my old Magellan Maestro 3200, so I apologize in advance if it sounds like I'm comparing the two.

Cons include:

You can edit (from the unit) and add your own points of interest.

Often the unit lags when you press a button and you have to press it again or wait.

It is everything I read about in reviews elsewhere:

sometimes freezes at the previous destination when first turned on. I read this in other reviews as well.
