Being a budget GPS device, the Magellan RoadMate 1200 skips over the extras and goes barebones. It comes with a 3.5-inch display that displays easy to understand menus together with big icons. It does include a POI database, though it was found really lacking in data. The reviewer noted that it returned zero hits on a store that’s been around for years while a search for an Italian restaurant returned a hit that’s been gone for even longer. On a lighter note, you do get the QuickSpell feature that makes text input faster with autocomplete. Navigating is easy with the RoadMate due to its friendly, easy-to-read appearance. Approaching a difficult intersection will automatically split your screen into two â€" one will show you how to turn and the other, the map view. One glaring flaw with the RoadMate is the time it takes for rerouting. A missed turn will usually mean a 15 to 20-second recalculation. During this time, the screen is frozen. While it isn’t recommended to depend on the Magellan RoadMate 1200 for everyday use due to the small POI and slow rerouting, this budget GPS device is good enough for those not-so-frequent road trips.
