Magellan RoadMate 1700

UPDATE: A new model, the 1700LM, adds lifetime map updates

The Magellan RoadMate 1700 sports one of the largest screens available of any after-market navigation device — a whopping seven inches! Clearly aimed at truck and RV drivers, the 1700 also offers lane assist and multi-destination routing.

The RoadMate 1700 comes with pre-loaded maps of the US and Canada and six million points of interest. Of possible interest to the target market is the fact that CoPilot RV and truck navigation software can be loaded onto the unit.
