I have be use my Magellan RoadMate for a couple of week now and be very pleased with it . it be quite easy to use . enter name and address be simple and straightforward . I also like the option of be able to save a location once I have drive to it in those case where I have not enter the address previously . the display be in color and well backlit so it be very easy to see even after dark . the display show the name of the street or road at which you next turn or exit take place as well as the name of the one you be on . a very pleasant voice announce how far it be to you next turn and a chime ring when you get to that intersection . there be build in address for restaurant , theater , etc. so you can find the best route to they without have the address handy . my only complaint be that when I select `` Least Use of Freeways '' and be take one of my back road , it keep route I to the nearest freeway entrance . if i continue along the way I usually go , I be tell to make a legal u-turn as soon as possible . once I have ignore that direction , it calculate a new route from where I be . I do not understand why it want to direct I to the freeway when there be a number of other road that lead to the destination . however , if I be travel in a area with which I be not familiar , it would be fine to follow the direction give and use the freeway . I would like to see this expand in newer version of the software , however , for those of we who really prefer to take we time and see lovely home , tree , shrub , flower , etc. instead of a stream of vehicle go 70 mile per hour and row of commercial building .
