Garmin Alternatives - Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

!±8± Garmin Alternatives - Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

The new Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch GPS navigator sports a new sleek design. Compared to its predecessors (and models from other brands), it now has a bigger, 4.7-inch screen. Despite the increase in screen size, this new model is thinner and lighter (weighing at just 2 pounds and measuring at just 0.7 inch).

Whether it is a camera, a GPS device or even a watch, I am always a fan of big displays. The 4.7 inch displays clear graphics that can be easily viewed even under bright sunlight. The user interface has be improved to include bigger user icons.

I have always preferred the Magellan navigators over Garmin and Tom Tom navigators because of its superb navigation system. On the Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch GPS navigator, you can always see the direction of the next turn no matter how far away it is. When you approach a turning, you will hear a distinct 'ding dong' sound to remind you of the turning. It also offer four navigation options. You can choose to take the fastest, shortest, freeway-intensive or least used routes to get to your destination.

One of the new features found on this model is its lane guidance system, that helps you stay on the right lane so that you would not miss a turning or accidentally make the wrong exit. It comes preloaded with road maps of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

With over 6 million points of interest, you can easily find your way to any destination within the country. Most of the points of interest preloaded includes the phone number of that establishment, which can be very handy at times. All in all, the Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch GPS navigator is a sleek, no frills and extremely effective navigator. If you are looking for a device that has a reasonable price tag, without all the unnecessary bells and whistles, this is the perfect model for you.
