I actually looked for a fairly simple GPS device without it costing too much. The Magellan RoadMate 1412 is a nice size compared to some of the competition and the excellent screen is very vivid and clear and especially easy to read in daylight. It took only 3 minutes to lock its present position when started for the first time. The menus are easy to follow, the maps are very comprehensive, and the maps are very easy to follow.
I took the Magellan RoadMate 1412 with me to Texas and it got me where I wanted without any effort. Route plans are clear and the display on screen is very straight forward. Inputting your destination is very easy, route calculation is reasonably fast. My only gripe with the display is that the automotive GPS system is a bit too bright at night and the brightness is set to its lowest setting.
POI was incredibly useful. Points of Interest can be found by Name, Category and then either hunt locally, in another city or near an address. I like the helpful breakdown of POI Categories, very effective.
On the whole, I am incredibly pleased with the Magellan RoadMate 1412 and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
