April 9, 2016The GPS is unuseable and fails after a very short period of use,
After using the unit a few times I started receiving a error message and the unit would just recycle on and off. At this point it was about 40 days old. I contacted Magellan and they replaced the unit. I used the replacement GPS unit it a few times on short trips with no problems. Yesterday I took longer trip. After about 1 to 2 hours I received an error message “application error” and the unit begin to recycle on and off every few minutes. It did this repeatedly, so I unplugged the unit. After a half hour or so, I plugged the unit in and it seemed to “boot” up normally, then went into a recalculation mode to check my selected route. The unit never left the recalculation mode, so after about 1/2 to 3/4 hour I unplugged the unit. As I neared my destination I plugged the unit back in and it booted up, calculated my route and appeared to be normal. After about 1/2 hour I got the “application error” message again and the unit once again began the recycle routine. This is the second MagellanRV5365T-LMB I have had, and both have experienced the same behavior. The GPS is totally unusable for its intended purpose and totally unreliable. Based on my experience with these two units and their failures after a very short period of time I would not recommend this GPS.

April 9, 2016Possibly best value of 4-5 different GPSs I’ve owned,
Like that it shows speed limits & warns if you exceedd them.
Like the options for trip planning (fastest, minimize tolls, maximize tolls, et al.)
Like the menu options.
Like screen size & mounting bracket.
Like options to set height, weight, length, height,..) for the RV to route trips, and then to be able to easily chane it back to car mode.
All-in-all it beats the 2 Garmin & Tom-Tom I’ve had.
Updated 12/2/14:
We’ve had unit over 18 months & still like it as well or better than 3-4 other stand alone and the built-ins with a Lexus & Subaru. We used it on a 30+’ SuperC towing a Honda Accord, putting 20+K miles with it. I don’t understand most of the other reviews complaints; I’m 79 & have used GPS units since they came out. This has been as good or better than my others. I didn’t mention earlier that it also shows elevation, which has been nice in mountains, etc. I downloaded the manuals with no trouble right after buying the GPS. I appreciate it not saying ‘recalculating’ every time I don’t take the exact route it suggests. I like the speed limit alerts & the traffic delay features.
