Magellan RoadMate 1700LM
We were impressed with the Magellan RoadMate 1700LM, which gives you audible cues to get off the highway, make a turn, or turn around. This feature comes in handy if you’re traveling through an unfamiliar area and are afraid to take your eyes off the road. This Magellan GPS device has clear road maps with lifetime updates, traffic information, and lane guidance. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, and we liked having the ability to use the back-up camera to see behind us in reverse. The seven-inch screen really makes a difference in showing you the route to your destination. This Magellan RoadMate GPS device is available for $152.99.
