Magellan GPS- who has one? any software updates? - Land Rovers Only

stolenheron · 03-03-2008, 10:24 AM

I bought a Magellan Roadmate 360 GPS system last night off of a kid for $20. He thought it was broken, I returned its settings to its factory state, and what do you know, it works perfectly fine

. It came with N. America maps on an SD card, and a car charger. I don't have any softare for my PC or a mount for the car, and the internal battery is shot so it must be plugged in at all times

Its got maps from 2005, so its out of date, but for $20 you can't beat a perfectly good GPS). I was wondering if anyone has any map updates that would be compatible for this old system, or just their 2 cents on what they think of their magellan products.

This is my 3rd GPS inside my rover at the moment lol, 1. Garmin C330 Streetpilot. 2. Garmin Geko 101. 3. the new/old megellan

Your Garmin units are way better than the magellan stuff. Magellan has a sketchy past, and I wouldn't buy their stuff. I used it in the military for a time til we convinced the brass to junk them and go with another brand. Just my two cents.

In my vehicles, I run Lowrance GPS.

I have a magellen and hate it. If you go to the magellen site they have map updates that you can download but it costs money. They also have any software updates that it may need since being returned to factory specs.
