The newest car toy in town in the Global Positioning System, also known as a GPS, and you can say goodbye to those days of handling a bad gas station map while you swear to your passengers that you are not loss. There are a few different companies that make these useful tools, so make sure that you are familiar with their features.

The Magellan RoadMate has several navigators to choose from but we will be looking at the 1470. If you haven't ever used a GPS device there are a few rules to know. The GPS is designed to rid you of getting lost because with satellite technology on your side and in your car you can find any destination with turn by turn voice instructions. It doesn't take the fun out of road travel; it puts in the safety you need.

When you are someone who travels a lot, and when you need to navigate an area that you are not familiar with, you'll find that the Magellan RoadMate 1470 is ideal. It is ready to use right out of the box, and the kit has everything that you need inside of it. The moment the tracking signal goes active, you are going to be able to get the information that you need.

Like most GPS units, the Magellan RoadMate 1470 will mount on your dash for clear visibility. Once you have it attached, you can adjust it so that it will suit you. You'll be pleased by how clear the screen is and how well the turn by turn directions work.

The Magellan RoadMate 1470 comes with a 4.7 inch color touch screen, and it's fairly thin, so your dash won't be too cluttered. There are pre-loaded maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, so you can get rid of those fat atlases, and you'll also have the benefit of 6 million points of interests, like gas stations, hotels, ATMs and restaurants, all things that you need when you are on the road in a strange area.

Make sure that you consider how well the touch screen function is going to help you navigate a city that you are not familiar with. The voice command will keep you on the right track, and you won't have to circle the block or make u-turns. You will be able to keep your eyes on the road while avoiding creating an accident because you were scanning for an address.

When you want the Magellan RoadMate 1470 to help you find the place you are looking for, you are going to be able to type in address. You will never need to be lost or to worry about being late again. In the low light, the screen will adjust for better visibility, and traffic alerts can help you avoid traffic jams and snarls no matter where you are driving.

With an investment of just around 200 dollars, you can become a more confident driver who never gets lost again. You'll find that the Magellan RoadMate 1470 comes with a car adapter and everything in in that you need to get started. Get in on the GPS craze today; it's not going anywhere, and you'll be much better off!
