Magellan RoadMate 1220

The Magellan RoadMate 1220 is one of several new Magellan units introduced in the spring of 2009. It has a 3.5” touchscreen and comes with pre-loaded maps of the entire U.S., with the exception of Alaska.

The RoadMate 1220 also includes text-to-speech, which means that you’ll hear "approaching right turn, Maple Street" rather than just "approaching right turn."
