The Magellan RoadMate USA gives you the SmartGPS experience including maps of the 50 US States and Puerto Rico onboard your cell phone! This means you won’t lose GPS navigation even when you lose cell reception.
This app is designed to be a navigation device combined with a powerful search tool. Search within a robust Point Of Interest library in addition to the Yelp and Foursquare venues. Select your destination using these methods and either navigate on foot with your iPhone or wirelessly send your destination to the Magellan SmartGPS navigator to drive to your selection. You have the choice of using which navigation tool is right for the job!
SmartGPS features include:
• Information Squares – innovative interface makes selections easy to access with features presented in squares. Get Yelp locations, Foursquare locations, Navigation, and Traffic events all on one control panel.
• Share – send destinations to your SmartGPS GPS navigator to navigate to as soon as you get in your car

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
