Magellan 3000T and 860T

Published on March 24th, 2006 in gps navigation

There’s no agreement yet between resources if it is 300T or 3000T but either way… these are new.

GPS Gazette has the dirt on two upcoming Roadmate in-car GPS units from Magellan, which contain many similar features, including 3.5-inch hi-res touchscreens, 2D as well as 3D birds eye views, and hard drives preloaded with all 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Although the Roadmate 860T is basically an minor upgrade to the 800 that we saw last year, and maintains its predecessor’s features and design, the new Roadmate 300T departs from the standard all-buttons-on-the-right configuration common to previous in-car offerings from Magellan. Along with the usual lineup of voice nav, POI, and auto re-rerouting features, the $600 300T also sports a 4GB hard drive, automatic night dimming, MP3 playback, and SmartVolume adjustment for louder directions when you’re in the midst of a high-speed chase. The 860T would actually be the better choice for your getaway, though, as it incorporates built in traffic alerts for avoiding roadblocks and a 20GB drive in case you need to add other countries and foreign tunes while you’re on the lam. The 300T will make its debut in April, while the $800 860T — which you can glimpse after the break — hits stores in May…. via
