Magellan RoadMate 3000T

Pros: Excellent voice commands, good screen

Cons: No soft case supplied but a nintendo game case i got at Walmart works perfectly

The Bottom Line: For what i paid for refurbished unit its a STEAL

Review: I have had this Magellan 3000T refurbished GPS now for 2 weeks. Took my first long trip with it a few days ago. I went from Buffalo NY area to Algonquin Park up in Canada a 5-hour trip. I also had my laptop which I have Delormes Streets Atlas 2008 with ...

Pros: Very accurate

Cons: Buttons a little sensitive but not a real hassle

Review: Recently, I bought a refurbished Magellan 3000T GPS.I was a little skeptical about it since I read mix opinions about it. The GPS came in perfect condition out of the box. There was no difference versus a new one, and it comes with an AC charger as ...

Pros: It's the same lady from Hertz; roughly works the same way.

Cons: Buttons poorly labeled; too quiet for loud cars

The Bottom Line: Good value

Review: I’ve always been too cheap to fork out the money for a GPS system for my car even though I always get one when I rent a Hertz car. I have a GPS attachment for my Dell Axim handheld PC but downloading the maps and getting all the wires set up in the car ...

Pros: Cheap, works well, and has accurate maps. Works right out of the box

Cons: Button placement/size/sensitivity. POI database a little out of date

The Bottom Line: A good, solid unit that is accurate and easily readable, with a few shortcomings that could be overlooked for the price.

Review: Just picked this unit up from Costco two days ago, and I've been testing it everywhere I go. I have to confess that I bought it with some trepidation, as I am in Canada, and I was concerned that the unit would ship with out of date, or worse, ...

Pros: Gets you there

Cons: Buttons on perimeter of unit are too touchy. Doesn't recalculate route well.

Review: I purchased this model from Sears and got a good price on it. I was going to go with Garmin (which my friend has). It works okay as far as getting you to your destination but if you deviate from the route it has planned for you it keeps telling you to ...

Pros: The unit is easy to use and the instructions are very clear

Cons: The updates are free, but is it worth the aggravation

Review: After updating Magellan RoadMate 3000t, the unit stopped doing recalculating or saying anything once a wrong turn is made. The route must be cancelled and you must return to previous destination before the unit restart giving information. I did ...

Pros: Good price on a refurbished unit.

Cons: They didn't refurbish the unit; it was broken when I bought it.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this one, at least not a refurb. Repair service is downright terrible. You'll spend multiple months waiting for it to come back.

Review: I bought a refurbished 3000t in the middle of September and now its Thanksgiving and I'm still waiting to use it! The company had done no refurbishing of this unit! It had multiple issues, so I sent it back to the company for a repair. If you buy ...

Pros: convenient to buy at Costco

Cons: doesn't last, poor customer service

Review: After many months of debate as to whether I should spend the money on a GPS unit I finally bought one in December 2006. I had trouble from day one powering up the unit with the switch. It also would power up on its own while the car was parked overnight ...

Pros: looks good

Cons: sluggish, does not work properly. Bulky construction.

Review: I purchased my Magellan 3000T on November of 2006. Since then I have had nothing but problems with unit. As I am writing this review it is on its way to be repaired for the third time for the same problem. It locks up and is very sluggish. When I call ...

Pros: None

Cons: Magellan cons customers

Review: Unit locks up, No Customer Service, Repair department does not care, Magellan doesn't care. After the unit stopped working, sent it in for repair, waited 3 months just to have Magellan try to blame USPS for not delivering it. I faxed the confirmation ...
