Magellan RoadMate 800 GPS Receiver Review
CNet has reviewed Magellan RoadMate 800 GPS Receiver. Yet, while we appreciate the multimedia features and versatility, we're disappointed by the omission of text-to-speech functionality, which was included on the 760. Still, if your main concern is moving from point A to point B without getting lost, the RoadMate 800 can do the job. At $699.99, the RoadMate 800 may be a bit too pricey for some, but when you consider the RoadMate 700 cost nearly $1,300 only two years ago, it's a step in the right direction for consumers.
The good part about Magellan RoadMate 800 is that it comes with maps preloaded on its hard drive and includes entertainment features. It also has solid performance. Unfortunately, the Magellan RoadMate 800 doesn't feature text-to-speech functionality or an FM modulator. Overall, armed with a rechargeable internal battery and entertainment features, the Magellan RoadMate 800 is an accurate nav system you can use in the car or on foot, but it lacks some of the advanced features of its competitors.
Rating:7/10
