Reviews of the Magellan RoadMate 1470

CNET Review
The Good: The Magellan RoadMate's OneTouch menu puts the most commonly accessed destinations and searches at a user's fingertips at all times. The smartly designed destination confirmation screen gives users a good deal of flexibility as to how they get where they're going. Large 4.7-inch touch screen gives users more real estate for maps and menus.
The Bad: Poorly designed cradle interferes with power cable when mounting. The onscreen keyboard cannot be changed from its alphabetical layout to a more familiar QWERTY layout.
The Bottom Line: The Magellan RoadMate matches the competition's performance and user-friendliness, while providing a larger screen at a lower price.
