This thing is awesome, a real life saver on a recent trip to san diego.
I've called around my area for a charger and was told that this item is not sold any more. Therefor, I do not know if this product works. If you have and questions or concerns I can be reached at 254 245 8241. I was disapointed in the product that I recieved, the Magellan RoadMate 2200T. I did not recieve a car charger nor a home charger for it. I feel this was a waist of my hard earnd money and if I am not satisfied I will never use this product again and a will advise others not to use it, or any other that may sold by this company, as well.
NO COMPLAIN whatsoever. It came to the mail like brand new. Fast shipping, great. This is my second GPS for my son's car. I love the product and its functionality. Took only fewdays to come in.
I bought my first unit to utilize on my motorcycles as this is the only reasonably priced waterproof unit I could find and was happy with a previous Magellan gps. The interface, especially with the upgrade including boating and backpack use, is quite nice. I've purchased two of Magellan's 2200T and am very satisfied. Liked it so much as a general use gps that I've recently purchased another as a Christmas gift for my daughter.
I pulled over & waited another 15 minutes for the link to be reestablished. Time it takes to link with a Satalitte. That means I sit in a parking lot for 2 to 20 minutes while I wait for the minimum of 5 satalittes it takes to locate my position. THe New Maps look great & I really like the new interface, however the routing software is often confused when 1 road passes over another. The Maps themselves were more current but not as good as I had hoped. At least it got me there. 3 problems have spoiled the experience.
I started with the original maps, hopelessly out of date, & bought the $80 Map Upgrade in May 08. Couldn't the unit announce "Signal Lost".2. Toronto, Lester Pierson Airport, Newark, Liberty Airport, & many others, the routing has you turn left, drive 1 mile, "Recalculating Route" then "At the next intersection, make a legal U-Turn" & back to the same place you turned left & then it takes you right back around the circle. I find when I get close to the Airport, I just turn it off & follow the signs.3. I've never talked to or had any Customer Support short of buying the Map Update.THe 2200T was my 1st GPS & I was pleased with the old routing software though the maps were hopelessly out of date & the voice was very hard to understand. Rain, Snow, Clouds, Trees & Buildings often cause the link to be dropped. What Customer Support. I was pleased with the new interface but the routing software sucks & the Satalitte links are fragile.
CS e-Mail Address on the Web Site returns as Bad Address. The new Interface & Voice were greatly improved. 1.
I drove 30 miles waiting for the next instruction only to find I had no signal. Hmmmm, $75 for something it should have had all along. THere is no Antennae booster unless you buy the Traffic Package.
I have owned my 2200T for 2 years. I fly all over the country & arrive with the unit off. Customer Support.
