December 29, 2011Big Screen!,
I purchased this to replace my Roadmate 1425 that died and I love the 1700 LM! The big screen is great and easy to use if you have big fingers and easy to see! The volume is nice and loud and seems to be accurate with directions.
The one reason I prefer the Magellan over the Garmin units that I tried is, the Magellan will show you the route and if you don’t want to make a certain turn in the route (there’s construction on Walker Rd, etc) you can click on that turn and let it know you don’t want to go that way. It will recalculate another route before you leave. The Garmin will recalculate after you drive past that turn. For me, it’s nice to know exactly where I’m going before I go because no GPS can be trusted 100%, in my opinion. But that’s just my preference. I also purchased the Autodashmount friction mount so I don’t have to use that annoying suction cup mount, I love the entire package, it’s everything I hoped for.
I got A LOT of GPS for my money here on Amazon, best price I could find for a new, unrefurbrished 1700LM! I would have paid more for it. Very happy with my purchase!

December 29, 2011Outstanding, Nuff Said,
Between the 7″ screen and the audio instructions you cannot go wrong. I get lost pretty easily and this thing kept me on the beaten path. It is easily updated over the web as well.

December 29, 2011I never go anywhere without this,
I decided I needed a GPS when I got a job assignment that required traveling to various different stores in the southern California area. All I needed to do was enter the address of the hotel or store I needed to go to and the GPS told me exactly how to get there. Any GPS could have done this I suppose, but the RM1700 was the only one with a whopping big 7″ display. The last thing you need to be doing while driving down the freeway at 65mph is stare at a tiny display. A quick glance and this told me everything I needed to know.
It is great for finding stores, restaurants and places like gas stations for you too. Finding gas stations was a feature that saved my bacon all the time while I was traveling.
No doubt one of the smartest purchases I have made in a long time.
