Can I update the maps in my Magellan GPS? I recently purchased a Magellan Roadmate 1412 GPS. This is first GPS of this brand that I've gotten. Apparently the maps are stored on an SD card. Does Magellan provide updates for their GPSes? If so, does it usually mean buying a new SD card with updated maps on it?
What is the corporate number for Magellan GPS? We recently contacted Magellan customer support, and they are horrible. We are hoping for the number for the corporate offices so that we can talk to somebody about how horrible they are, and how we will never buy one of their products again. The first person that can get me a number that I can talk to somebody who can actually listen to us without making excuses gets the best answer. Thanks!
Where can I get map software (Australia) for a Magellan handheld GPS? My husband has a Magellan handheld GPS. He is having trouble getting suitable map software for motorbike riding in the Victorian State Forrest. He needs to have bush tracks, creeks, rivers and location of mountains etc. Any ideas of where to look would be great. We don't mind buying it.
Is it possible to download Magellan 1200 gps map from the internet for free? I have this (Magellan 1200 gps) but about 4 days ago i lost the SD card; therefore i went to buy it yesterday at Best buy, so i bought the SD card for $25 but i was told that i should have the map downloaded to the SD card for $60..i was just wondering if there was any websites that i can download the map from for free.....i would appreciate that if someone gives me an answer..Thank you
I need help with my magellan GPS? I have a magellan mastro 3225 and each time i think im turning off the GPS by pressing the power button, im actually putting it in sleep mode so my power gets wasted right away. how do i properly turn it off? im tired of the battery dead everytime i want to use it.
Will any SD card work with a Magellan GPS? I have an Explorist 400 and it just says unlimited SD expandability...but when I took out the Magellan SD card and put in a 1 Gb regular one (not Magellan brand) it won't detect it. Is this some sort of scam by Magellan to make sure you buy SD cards from them? Or are they somehow different cards? Or do I need to format it in the GPS to prep it for use with the system.
How do I update my magellan maestro GPS 3225? When I plug it in to the computer my GPS says to follow the instructions on the application that pops up but what pops up doesn't make sense? do I have to download software or what site can i go to to just download up grades directly?

Magellan GPS tracker? I bought a Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS tracker yesterday. I noticed on the box it tells you were resturants are when you drive past them. It does it for gas stations and banks but not for resturants. Does it have to be programed to show up resturants on the map as well?
TomTom or Magellan GPS? Okay ppl, I just recently bought my first car, now I am thinking of buying a GPS system and need a second opinion, so my question is....which GPS is the better buy, TomTom or Magellan? If possible, give me the advantages and disadvantages of both systems?
Magellan Roadmate 1412 GPS not working? I recently purchased a Magellan Roadmate 1412 GPS. I charged it up three hours already, it is difficult to turn on even after pressing one to two seconds, the Magellan screen shows up but the progress bar does not move. Do I need to register it first and activate the GPS with serial number before it works or what? do I have to do anything with the CD first? or do I need to return it?
Name a GPS thats not Garmin or Magellan that works really well? I see what I call 'bobo' brands offering a lot more features for less money and am tempted to buy one. Do you have one, like Nextar or Amcor, or some other brand that works great for less money? I'm especially concerned with re-routing while driving and day/night backlighting. Thanks!
I want to create a Google Map and Upload it to my Magellan GPS. I also want to distribute that map (free)? The software that comes with the GPS device is pretty basic. It seems like it only has major highways on it. The route I am creating is part on-road part off-road. National Geographic provides TOPO maps but they are expensive and really don’t fill the bill either since I need streets in my map occasionally. With Google maps (or Yahoo maps for that matter) I could use the satellite imagery to help me create the route, but then I want to upload the finished route to my GPS. It would be a plus if I could then post the route I make on a website. The GPS is a Magellan Triton 500, if that makes any difference. I am reluctant to spend another couple of hundred on software packages only to find they don’t help. I've used Google Earth too, but again don't want to get into the premium service. There has to be a way to create this easily without spending more than time.
Magellan GPS/Google Earth? There are extra numbers in the coordinates I got from Google Earth than I can put in my Magellan Explorist 200. GE gives 38 09' 54.36 N, but GPS only would let me put in 38 54.360 N. Did I drop the correct coordinate or should I try something else?
Anyone have a GPS system with traffic alerts that actually work? I bought the Magellan GPS with traffic and it doesn't give me a single alert! I-25 can be at a stop for miles and it doesn't notify you anything is wrong. No construction alerts either and I pass through the ones at I-76 and 225 and again at I-70 and Ward. I'm wondering if Tom-Tom or Garmin work any better or if it's just Denver area that sucks for alerts.
My Magellan 4250 Gps will not sync with my phone.? I synced my phone with my gps but after i took it out of range i tried to re-connect the two and now the pairing screen won't stay open. Its an iphone. The gps won't search for the device. The screen closes as soon as I bring it up.
Using an Autohelm 4000 how do you connect it to a GPS? This boat has a Magellan GPS and will have a Laptop running whatever NAV software this setup will require. The Idea is to be able to have the boat travel a route as programmed into the GPS waypoint by waypoint. if the PC is not required great!
magellan gps? i was on vacation and my gps system went haywire. I lost all of my data which was all of my previous destinations that I needed for my job. I had seen on CSI ( or a similar show) that one can get back all data from a gps system after its deleted, so i am asking anyone who has any idea HOW to get back the lost data to please email me at Bronxgirlcl@aol.com. I would be most appreciative.

Garmin, Tom Tom Or Magellan GPS.....Best One?? I am looking at car GPS units, and would like input from people who have each of all 3 mentioned above and why you think its better than the competition? I'm leaning toward the Garmin Nuvi 660; but am also considering the Tom Tom Go 720. Thanks!!
garmin vs. magellan gps? I'm looking to buy a handheld GPS, but would like to find out who makes the better system. I will be using it for hunting, hiking, fishing, and traveling in car. Any help would be appreciated.
Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS? Is the Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS good? (negative and positive) Are TomToms better? (negative and positive) Also, do they work international, like Canada or Mexico? Thanks in advance!
Which GPS is better: Magellan or Garmin? I recieved a Magellan Maestro 4040 for Christmas. I've seen it around town for $300 (on sale). My parents have a Garmin and I can't get my mom to stop talking about how much better their GPS is than mine. She keeps suggesting that I take it back and get a Garmin. I'm not going to...but does what she say have any validity? Which brand is better?
Does anyone know how you get more detailed maps in the Magellan eXplorist XL GPS? I want to get my son a handheld GPS for Christmas so he will have maps when he travels in the Military but the unit I am testing only has my region loaded in it. It won't help him one bit to have Oregon maps if he's stationed somewhere else (which he will be). I don't know anything about adding maps into the units. I am sure it's as easy as hooking up a cable but: Where do you get the maps to begin with? Is there a download site? Do you have to buy the maps? Where would you buy them? How much would they cost? Would they have detailed maps of countries such as Iraq (because I know he will end up there eventually)? Thanks
Magellan Maestro 4000 GPS? Does the Magellan maestro 4000 GPS annouce out street names or simply "take left" or "take right"? I couldn't find a confirmation for this point on many sites. Can someone provide me with an answer?
