Magellan RoadMate 1400 review

The Magellan RoadMate 1400 is Magellan’s new entry-level 4.3″ navigator. As a low-end unit, it only has 1.3 million POIs, and it comes without text-to-speech, so you’ll just hear “approaching right turn,” instead of “approaching right turn, Maple Street.”  The 1400 does come with pre-loaded maps of the entire U.S.

Stepping up to the RoadMate 1412 will get you text-to-speech, 6 million POIs, and maps of Canada in addition to those of the U.S.

Going the other direction, the RoadMate 1200 drops the screen size to 3.5″, but keeps the rest of the 1400’s feature set. To see how the RoadMate 1400 stacks up against other units, check out my Magellan auto GPS comparison chart.

I covered features found on the 1400 in detail in my hands on review of the Magellan RoadMate 1412, so rather than repeat myself, I’m going to direct you there for more information.
