Magellan GPS Navigator RoadMate 2200T Portable

If you don’t own a car with its own navigation system, and you’re tired of looking up destinations on the internet and printing the results–or even worse, stopping to ask for directions–the Magellan 2200T make be just what you’re looking for. Its sturdy and easily portable design, simple operation, and multi-function capability make it a great choice for any journey.

Small, rugged, and powerful; the Magellan 2200T packs everything you need for navigation, and nothing you don’t.

Design
The Magellan 2200T is compact and solid, making it easy to bring along wherever you go, as well as providing a sense of confidence that it can survive the bumps of bruises that come with the mobile lifestyle. It measures just 3.7 x 2.0 x 0.6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.8 ounces, making it only a little chunkier than your average PDA or Smartphone. The first thing you’ll notice on its exterior is almost complete lack of buttons. This is because all interaction with the 2200T happens between the touchscreen and your finger. In the interest of simplicity, there is not even a stylus that can fall to the floor and roll under your the seat of your car. The only button you’ll find on the device is the recessed rubber power button on the top right. Read the rest of this entry »
