UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For current recommendations, please refer to our auto GPS buyers guide or check out our other Magellan auto GPS reviews.
The Magellan RoadMate 3050T GPS is one of the newest additions to Magellan’s line of auto
navigation systems. Featuring built-in maps of the U.S. and Canada, the
30050T also includes a digital music player (MP3 and WMA compatible), a
photo viewer and the SiRFstar III chipset (unlike the Magellan 860T). A built in li-ion rechargeable battery makes it easier to use these features away from your car. Also included is the Magellan TrafficKitTM receiver and a 3-month starter
subscription, which provides live
traffic incident reports to avoid accidents, road work and more. The 3000T is basically the same unit, minus the TrafficKit receiver and starter subscription, though you can buy the receiver as an add-on.
