Why is my Magellan Roadmate 2000 interfering with my radio when plugged into the cigarette lighter? I have a Magellan Roadmate 2000 vehicle GPS (got it for Christmas). It is suction cupped onto the windshield, and has a car adaptor for power. When the adaptor is plugged both into the cigarette lighter and the unit, my FM and AM radio stations get much more staticky, with wierd buzzings and such. As soon as I unplug the adaptor from either the unit or the cigarette lighter, it stops. Obviously the power or something is causing the interference, but is this normal? Is something broken or malfunctioning? Magellan customer support is virtually non existant so I''ve gone to the next best thing...the people! Thanks for your help. It may be operating on the same megahertz as the first responder said, but also I'd be curious why I notice it on some other stations too that are in different spots on the dial?

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?

Magellan roadmate 2000 help PLEASE!? My Magellan roadmate is not providing voice instructions or displaying the street I'm on when I perform a route. The maneuver information at the bottom of the screen is not showing, nor is the current street I'm on which normally displays at the top of the screen. All it does is show me the map, and the default pink outlining that shows me the route I should take, and traces the route as I drive it. I When I first purchased the Roadmate (on Friday) it was working fine, but this started yesterday, and I need the voice instruction. Please help me!

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.

Best car gps under or around 250 dollars? I'm looking for a decent car gps navigation system that's under or around $250. It will be replacing my Magellan Roadmate 360, which has some serious issues. First, it doesn't have retail stores beyond restaurants and gas stations listed in the points of interest database. Second, it requires you to put in the township/district instead of the real city or town name when putting in an address, which is pretty impossible to determine beforehand. So basically, I'm looking for something with a big points of interest database and easy address input. It also must have a "most use of freeways" or something similar, because I've used GPS systems that take you on dumb local roads instead of interstates when you're going long distances.

GPS - do overcast days like in central ohio affect GPS? I tried a gps - it worked on and off, and I wonder if the weather can have a large affect on its ability to perform. The unit I tried was a magellan 300 roadmate. It cost 299.99, but I am willing to spend more on a reliable unit. Can weather cause the unit to not pickup a signal - is this common?

Fix my fried GPS? So basically, I attempted to hardwire my gps (Magellan) to my car a while back. Someone told me they successfully hardwired their GPS (Magellan) to their car by just snipping of the end and running it to the car battery. I did just that and once I connected my gps to the plug, the screen went crazy and shut off. It doesn't turn on at all and I'm assuming I fried my gps. I contacted Magellan, and followed their directions but I still have failed to turn it back on. So basically, can it be fixed? or is it worth it to fix? Its a Magellan Roadmate 1200 that I got from CC during Black Friday for $125. -Thanks From what I have read, Magellan has really bad customer service and that it is really difficult to get an authorization number to send it in.
