OK as a basic GPS, but not without glitches
24 von 26 finden das hilfreich I was impressed by the simplicity of a Magellan GPS we got with a rental car, so I bought a 1440 for our own use, basing my selection on a couple of nice features such as multi-destination trips and smart address entry. When we first got the device it flat out didn't work 8-(... It was "pre-owned new" and refused to take my address inputs; instead it kept trying to guide me to a state penitentiary in Tennessee... Eventually it started complaining about running out of memory and it would restart itself whenever I input a new destination address, forgetting everything in the process.
After a bit of fishing around on the internet, I found out that the older software versions get sick when the traffic advisory feature is enabled. So, I turned that off and it still didn't work. Eventually, I found out that the unit could be reset from the invisible system menu, which cure when applied appears to have corrected its behaviour. See

I also found advice suggesting that updating the firmware might help with this problem. I almost did that, until I found a blog entry warning that the firmware update could outright kill the on-board system. I decided I was happy to stumble along with what I had already.
Now it works satisfactorily. It takes quite a while to figure out where it is after having been turned off for several days. It also isn't very smart about recognizing when we decided not to follow its directions. It eventually catches up and starts giving good directions, but it seems that it should be quicker (and more vocal) about correcting mistakes.
The multi-destination trip feature doesn't seem to work without user intervention to start each leg. I would think it could recognize arrival and departure events and automatically resume the trip. Oh well...
