I sware Garmen people are out to kill Megellan by G. H. Meraklis on amazon.com May 27, 2012
This is an outstanding product. The 2036 is a cut above Any comparable Garmin When you first get your unit you must follow the instruction. and might explain some of these terrible commits (This unit dose crazy things with low batteries) It freeze, it ...
 
Packed with features you will use ! by GuywhoknowsIT on bestbuy.com Dec 19, 2011
I have always used magellan GPS. Bought the first one because its what Hertz rental uses as never lost. I decided to upgrade my 6 year old one, which by the way still works. This unit is great. I go to pocono mountains a lot and use it -- never loses ...
 
Great Bargain GPS by jsw1 on bestbuy.com Aug 29, 2011
Have had it for many months now and have used it repeatedly. Used it all over New England only lost signal a couple times in Boston. I like how the electric cord is part of the gps holder, this avoids unnecessary stress on the gps. Very easy user interface, ...

Excellent GPS by Reviewer1 on amazon.com Dec 25, 2010
Bought this GPS Unit @ costco for 89.99 in Nov 2010. Have been using this unit for over a month & like this product over the GARMIN 1490T that I have bought and used for a month. The best part is this unit comes with all the accessories including the ...
 
Love this gps! by Jane Deerfield "Jane's Garden" on amazon.com Nov 25, 2011
I've had the opportunity to use a Tom Tom and this Magellan Roadmate and by far, the Magellan Roadmate 2036 is my favorite of the two. I keep a road atlas as a backup, but this Magellan took me on a 2000+ mile driving trip to different areas of the country ...

Unit Ok, but directions are awful by Vaclav Hauptman on amazon.com Jun 14, 2012
If you want to get to anywhere, allow at least 20 extra minutes for the trip, because this Magellan GPS will not get you there on first try. House numbers are everytime on a wrong side of the street, and you will get also tired of "make a legal U-turn" phrase. Today, I exchanged it for Garmin.
 
Bought this for a trip to Disney World in Orlando by SdmfJason on bestbuy.com May 2, 2012
I wouldn't buy this again. It got me lost so many times it wasn't funny anymore. It would take me so far out of my way it cost me money in gas and tolls. Do not buy this!!!!!
 
Not good by Noonie on shopnbc.com Sep 3, 2010
I purchased the Magellan because I liked the one my boyfriend has, however I did return it because it is an outdated model with lots of old info on it and it cannot be updated so it will do me no good

I bought this product start of 2011 from Costco. An unreliable model. Freeze middle of a long drive. 'No such address found' message for a well known residential area but message would go off for another apt number for the same building!!??. 80% of time ...
 
If I could rate this a 0 I would by Hikari on amazon.com Feb 6, 2012
I had this GPS for less than a year and now I can't even get it to turn on, or charge it, if is dead. If I somehow get it to turn on after 50min of driving with my cellphone GPS, it turns back off 5min later. I even plug it into the wall, car plugin, ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Magellan RoadMate 2036 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Oddly, the first sales guy at BestBuy way back when recommended Magellan to me, but I went Garmin...It was a steal and I'd recommend it to anybody...It is worth the money ($80) but it is not as good as my old Magellan 1200T ($200 5 years ago...

Don't expect much from this unit...If you deviate from the pre-assigned path due to an accident or a traffic jam, the unit is too stubborn in trying to force you back to the street you just left...On a positive note, the unit performs OK and does not crash...
