Magellan-RoadMate-1470

UPDATE: Read our hands-on Magellan RoadMate 1470 review. I’ve also posted pages for the Magellan RoadMate 1220 and 1440.

Though there’s been no official announcement, Magellan quietly rolled out three new RoadMate units at CTIA last week, and one – the 4.7” Magellan RoadMate 1470 (pictured above) – is already available at Amazon.

The new models add features to the entry-level RoadMate series that were previously found only on the Maestro line. For example, the RoadMate 1470 includes Magellan’s new “One Touch” interface, multi-destination routing, highway lane assist, and AAA TourBook features.

I’ll post details on all the new models as soon as the info becomes available.

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.

But as a low-end unit, it has only 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."
