Magellan RoadMate 3065 grabs traffic info while you shave

Magellan RoadMate 3065 Thanks to the FCC, we’ve got a sneak preview of the Magellan RoadMate 3065 Commuter Edition. It’s got lots of goodies that you would would expect like Bluetooth, but the novel feature is that it grabs traffic data before you ever hit the road. The manual describes this "Traffic Wakeup" feature:

In many cases, traffic information on your GPS can be delayed up to 20 minutes. A delay could mean that you have begun your commute and are already in a traffic situation which could have been avoided. The Magellan RoadMate 3065 Commuter includes the premium Traffic Wakeup feature. Traffic Wakeup automatically powers on your GPS at the time you set and provides real-time traffic updates. Easily have traffic updates ready for you before you even leave for your destination.

Look for this one to hit retailers before road trip season gets underway later this spring. read more
