The included navigation features give you a rich turn-by-turn experience:
• Turn-by-turn – Voice navigation with street names
• Landmark Voice Guidance - instead of hearing “turn right in half a mile on Main Street”, at select landmarks you will now hear “In 500 feet, turn right at the Shell gas station onto Main Street”.

• Junction View – a graphical picture clearly showing your highway exit

Pros and cons of Magellan RoadMate USA app for iPhone and iPad

Magellan RoadMate USA app good for

Been waiting a long time for this - thank you for the update. Looks great. Love the new features.
No issues at all with the latest update. Been using this app for years now and really like it. The only issue I have is that sometimes they are very slow in updating it. Dont know why Im reading that others are having issues with this update. On my iPhone 5s running 7.04 its working great without any issues. I just hope they dont wait years to update this app the next time it needs updating because it really is the best GPS app that Ive found.
I am a driver, I drive over 100k per year. Ive tried every app out on the market and while I think a few do compare Ive personally always like Roadmate. Ive never had issues until recently. I do animal rescues as well and last night I went about 20 miles out to pick a rescue up. I was tired so not paying as close attention as I normally would. Its a major city so it should not be as off as it was, anyhow. Im just listening, turn right, turn left, ect... Then I realize its taken me in circles over and over again. I pull over restart the app and route then it stops the neverending loop and takes me to the wrong street. I didnt know it until I went to knock on the house number and the lady had no clue. So I finally just opened maps and used it. I was a block and a half away from my destination which is unacceptable. I wish I had not updated this app. I was happy with it as it was. Please fix it or ill be dropping this to 3 stars. Give me the old app please, the new features are nice but Id rather have it working again.
After the latest update, i can say its the best gps app on app store.
I dont know does negative reviews, this app work perfect maybe does people needs to upgrate they phone or they dont know how to used this app.
Ive been using this app for several years, ever since its initial release. Hands down it is simply the best; best user interface and ease of use. I wish they updated it more often and hope they do so soon for IOS 8 but thankfully it still works on the new IOS without problem. I use a Bluetooth FM transmitter with my phone in my car and have had no issues with the audio volume

Some bad moments

Wish they would fix issues. Google search crashes the app, as does random issues requiring reinstall. App is in need of an update. Last one was October. Feel like Magellan have up on the app.
Update July 2012: Please advise if app will be discontinued soon. I travel weekly and directions no longer accurate in several locations; app not aware of new streets, etc. I assume that no updates, no fixing Google, means app should be removed from iTunes?? May 2013: I love this app and have used it for a long time. Its the best…when it works. The POI search crashes the app every time. That includes the native "Search by Name" or categories, and Google search. App is pretty useless without it. Please fix!!
app crashes when searching with google, please fix! what a waste of $50
Disappointed. Maps not updated and the interface is is not polished. App last updated more than one year ago and crashes occur with iOS 7.
We waited so long for an update and this version constantly crashes on startup!!!!!
Junkie battery low it crashes , long time to make a single update , they dont give a damm to anybody
