Magellan RoadMate 5175T-LM review: Magellan RoadMate 5175T-LM

 

Magellan's latest 5-inch GPS navigator aims to differentiate itself from the ever-shrinking portable navigation market with a pair of unique features that should make life easier for sufferers of wanderlust. The RoadMate 5175T-LM Traveler's...

The Magellan RoadMate 5175T-LM Traveler features lifetime map updates and traffic data. The TourDirector feature lets users browse local attractions, set itineraries, and optimize travel time from the unit's menus. Wi-Fi connectivity allows users to...

Destinations in the TourDirector can only be viewed based on proximity, not rating or popularity. The included Web browser isn't ideal for extended browsing.

In addition to being a solid navigator for the price, the Magellan RoadMate 5175T-LM Traveler also packs a few features to help users to plan vacations and explore attractions in unfamiliar cities.

"WORTHLESS TO ME - WON'T PROGRAM TO GO TO NATIONAL PARKS"

 

WORTHLESS TO ME - WON'T PROGRAM TO GO TO NATIONAL PARKS - I need my GPS to go to National Parks. I tried to program it for Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce National Parks, and the map update I purchased three days ago can't find any of them. I contacted...

LOOKS NICE

NOT ONLY CAN I NOT PROGRAM THIS TO GO TO THE NATIONAL PARKS LISTED BELOW, NEITHER CAN MAGELLAN CUSTOMER HELP - THEY JUST GAVE UP ON ME AND TOLD ME TO REPORT IT ON THEIR SITE. THEY SAID THAT MAYBE THEIR MAP SUPPLIER WILL UPDATE IT ON THE NEXT REVISION

"Colossal Waste of Money! Buy *anything* else!"

 

This happened to me with 2 units! When I attempted to contact customer service the first several times, they told me to have patience and that a fix was coming. When my patience grew thin, they offered to replace it with a unit that costs half as much....

None. Seriously.

Took at least 10 minutes each time to program an address due to sluggishness. Often had to turn the unit off and then on again because it would "hang." Nearly unresponsive touch screen. Directions lag behind my actual position.

"Please DO NOT waste your money:"

 

It simply does NOT work as advertised, you can't reach tech support in a reasonable amount of time and when you do reach them they can't seem to figure out what the problem is in order to fix it. Speed limits are important in town as well as the...

It only took 15 minutes to get customer service to agree to a full refund including shipping.

45 miutes to reach tech support, an hour and a half with the techie, and NO solution to the problem.
