Magellan RoadMate USA App Reviews

Purchased phantom alert for $ 24.99 life time. I pass many red light cameras and speed cameras but phantom alert gives Zero alerts. Also voice options are there but all the male and female voice are not clear-giving some echo and hoarseness. Compare google maps GPS navigation and find out how the voice should be-melodious and pleasant to ears for listening Not a Great application. Better off with free Google Maps

LAST UPDATE FEB 2014. SO MANY WRONG ROUTE. CROSSED THE INTERSECTION AFTER 2 BLOCK STILL IN INTERSECTION. NEEDS TO UPDATE LIKE TOMTOM AND OTHER APPS OR REFUND MONEY. THANKS

Ive been using this app for a long while and the newer versions are great with cloud sync of favorites. This version has not yet been updated for iOS 9, but it still works. The only down side is that the car position on the road gets updated every 1-2 seconds, however audio and turns is still spot on. Hopefully it gets fixed. Also gives OK navigation in Puerto Rico (hard to get data from there I guess since the government there is broke)

This app is just ok. the graphics are out dated and text small and hard to read. traffic ok and rerouting slow at times. also doesnt do much when not on a route. I contacted the company about making text larger and the screen easier to read in bright sun and they said they would look into it but nothing yet. Also maps out of date as they are missing streets and this has not been updated to support IPhone 6

Coming from AT&T gps, I can say I was looking forward to no monthly fee. However, I cant say that with Magellan, I used it for some time & on my way to two important engagements I did not get proper directions. Let me first say the inputting of the address is so complicated, you have to first a box comes up to enter a city, what if I dont know the city. Then you a box comes up and you have to enter a street and so on. With AT&T I can copy an entire address & paste it into the address box and if I dont have a city it will suggest a few cities and then I can choose which best fits my need. The Magellan also indicated that I was going in the wrong direction and on the wrong street when I was actually headed in the right direction & on the right street. Its rerouting actually took some time as well to acquire my correct location. Although AT&T removed their in app access to my iPod, Magellan has a lot to desire for this function. It lags quit a bit to open & respond to your touch for opening, selecting music as well as being able to shuffle the content or choosing a playlist, artist or genre. Magellan has a lot of work ahead of itself to be a top contender for cell mobile GPS. My search continues.

Used to be decent. Now they wont do any updates for ios9. Waste of money.

12-03-15 Just completed an 1800 mile round trip from OKC to Celina, OH. I have used Roadmate USA several times going to Arizona and Utah and for the most part was pleased. On this last trip it was useless. Constantly telling me to reverse my direction followed by the forward distance to the next turn. Also,the jerky motion of the current position indicator along the highway is very annoying. Its like it is constantly buffering. This app is the most expensive app that I have purchased. Please fix it where it can be trusted again.

Google is better, would recommend not buying.

I have had this app for MANY years. As others have mentioned, with an update to iOS, the App is jerky, gives incorrect information and constantly needs to recalculate the route. I just got off a chat session with Magellan and they have no current plans to update the app. Funny since the last update was in 2014. Sadly, this app was superior to the other options out there, but in it’s current state it is useless. Personally, I think that Magellan should do the right thing and EOL (End of Life) it and pull it off of the Apple Store. This app could cause an accident. I now use Waze and it is pretty good. But Magellan used to be better. :(
