Magellan RoadMate 1200
The Magellan RoadMate 1200 features an ultra-slim, pocket-sized GPS that offers a nice "turn it on and go" auto navigation functionality. Combined with its attractive retail price, the RoadMate 1200 is one of the most compelling entry-level GPS units in the industry.
The Magellan RoadMate 1200 looks to be a good entry-level in-car GPS. It has a compact, no-fuss design that's perfect for first-time buyers, and you get the most essential navigation features for an affordable price.
The Magellan RoadMate 1200 is one of the smallest portable navigation systems we've seen. It measures a petite 3.6 inches wide by 3.3 inches high by 0.6 inch deep and weighs a light 4.9 ounces. It's roughly the size of a deck of cards, so you could even mount it to a bicycle or use it as a handheld navigator while traveling on foot. While the RoadMate 1200 feels solidly constructed, take care when transporting the unit between vehicles as the plastic shell could crack with a nasty tumble.
The single problem is that with the RoadMate 1200's small frame you can't get the larger 4.3-inch displays found on some of today's systems. Instead, you get a more standard 3.5-inch diagonal touch screen that admittedly looks cramped after having tested the wide screens, but it's still bright and sharp and you shouldn't have any problems reading the maps. The touch screen is also responsive to commands.
The user interface is fairly intuitive and simple to master with clearly identified icons. Like other Magellan models, the RoadMate 1200 has a QuickSpell feature to aid in the text entry process. As you start to input the numbers and letters of an address on the virtual keyboard, QuickSpell dims any characters that don't match any of the city or streets located in the system's database.
Some final things to note: There is a SD expansion card slot and reset button on the right spine, while there's a mini USB port on the left and a sole power button on top of the unit. The Magellan RoadMate 1200 comes packaged with just a bare-bones list of accessories, which include a car charger and vehicle mount (windshield and dash). An AC adapter would have been a nice addition.
The RoadMate 1200 has been designed for easy portability and features a brand new sleek pocket-sized form factor, a full-size 3.5” bright, anti-glare touch screen and a simple, intuitive user interface designed for fast input with a minimal amount of keystrokes. It also features a clutter-free menu and map screens that incorporate stylish icons and graphics that are clear and crisp to the user.
In North America, the Magellan RoadMate 1200 comes preloaded with the latest NavTeq maps, which cover the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. It also features 1.3 million points of interest (POI) data, such as gas/petrol stations, ATMs, hotels, restaurants, airports and more, with contact details such as phone number, address and the travel distance.
Features:
New 3.5” QVGA full-color, anti-glare touch-screen display
Acclaimed easy to use, intuitive user interface
Fast and precise SiRF® GPS chipset delivering superior GPS performance and navigation
2D and 3D Mapviews with auto day / night mode switching
Trip computer and Trip planner
QuickSpell™ intelligently searches and checks spelling when entering addresses
SmartDetourTM prompts drivers to route around heavy or stationary traffic
SD card slot for maps

The Magellan RoadMate 1200 ships with a windshield mount and cradle, a 12V car power cigarette lighter adapter, an adhesive disk for alternative on dash mounting and a quick reference and user manual. Once on the road, the voice-guided directions are loud and clear, and it punctuates its upcoming turn announcements with a chime (you can change the sound or turn this off under User Options).
Check the Magellan RoadMate 1200 now, it could the beginning of an ongoing partnership.
