Unbiased customer reviews from Amazon.com:

I bought & returned 6 different GPS units including the Tom Tom, Garmin and a few others. First, when you enter the address (which is by far the easiest address-entering compared to any of its competitors) it knows where you want to go. It always brought me to the exact spot that i needed to find. It has over 6,000,000 points of interest compared to 1-2 million on every other competitor. it is small, thin and very lightweight. THIS GPS ROCKS!!!

I'm very selective about my electronics--probably to a fault. I read the reviews from several spots on the net.

I have a Magellan Roadmate 650 which is several years old and have had no problems except I need to get new maps. I bought this 1400 for my wife. She needs things efficient and not complicated and that's exactly what this unit is. It gets her where she wants to go without complication.

The video is crisp. It is loud enough to play the radio and still here and it repeats the next move if you need it to. Taking it on and off is easy. My only minor problem is that this is for a SUV and the little window adapter holder really does not extend out as far as I would like.

I just hooked it up to one of the windshield holders from my 650 and it worked great. It would have been nice if the included an adapter to enable it to be plugged in to the wall outlet.

I also like that it came from Amazon. Good price plus I feel comfortable ordering from them. Anytime I have had any problem with a product it is taken care of promptly--no hassles, no questions.
