Magellan Roadmate 1200

Magellan Roadmate 1200
A couple of websites are talking about the Magellan RoadMate 1200 which is no where to be found on Magellan’s own website making people think it is a really basic model prepared just for Black Friday. Magellan 1200 has a 3.5″ anti-glare touchscreen and apparently uses Centrality Atlas II GPS receiver as opposed to SiRF Star III.

The onboard memory has maps of the continental US, Hawaii and Puerto Rico already loaded in addition to 1.3 million points of interest. Other features include voice guidance helping you keep your hands on the road and QuickSpell which eliminates letters that are not found in its memory while entering addresses

You can find it online for as low as $200… via gpspassion and GPS TrackLog

    FYI, Centrality is now owned by SiRF, and so this Magellan utilitzed a SiRF Atlas II system-on-chip (SoC), which provides not just GPS, but graphics and media support as well.

    I found all kind of info about the Magellan RoadMate 1200 GPS Navigation, including there site. The cheapest I found it was 124.99. From what I’ve read it sounds great and the price is awesome. I don’t expect it to perform like my factory installed one in my truck. I also paid a lot more for it.

    Go to circuit city for the cheap price. I think it’s today only, online orders.


  12. Al Says:

    The Magellan site says the unit uses a SirfStarIII chipset. Anybody know whats really in this unit?


  13. Dave_by_the_Sea Says:

    greetings,
    I’m considering purchasing the Magellan RoadMate 1200 GPS Navigation device, and I was wondering if maps are available and could be uploaded for various local areas? In particular, forest areas around Johnsondale, CA, and Ski areas suchas Big Bear, CA and Mnt. Baldy, CA? All I’ve sean at the mega-stores like Circuit City, are road maps, but the sales people say “sure you can upload all kinds of maps”. Well I don’t want to pay $150 or more, then when I’m out hiking or skiin, have an empty screen.

    I have a number Magellan products. Does anyone know how I could either use a new SD card with other data – routes, waypoints, etc. from other Magellan software? What about how to download European data.


  15. anon Says:

    Got it. Love it. A steal at twice the price.


  16. rich Says:

    Exit POI does not work and needs a patch per customer service.
    Magellan says all 1200 models with same problem. Mine purchased in Feb.2008.
    I do not see other bloggers with this problem.


  17. richard mosley Says:

    how and where can I fing information on how to download an european map foe the magellan model 1200 GPS


  18. Tom Says:

    Rich, I’ve got the same problem with my newly purchased (6/28/08) Roadmate 1200, so I guess Magellan hasn’t got the software guys working on it yet.

    This year it’ s all about the in- store savings, the doorbusters, and the early bird specials. Saving money is the key…


  22. joester Says:

    Got mine at Sears on “Friends and family night” for $89. This thing seems too simple to use. Granted, I just started messing with it, but I’m impressed.
    The exit POI thing… It looks for a different SD card for whatever reason. I just cancel the route instead and go back to the main menu.

    I’m looking for maps as well, and will post if I find any.


  23. ThePirate Says:

    Maps available on Pirate Bay for free download.


  24. joester Says:

    I saw maps for other models, but not the 1200.


  25. Rosamund Says:

    FYI, The 1200 is on their website, I just checked.

    It is becoming very annoying searching the web for it!


  27. joester Says:

  28. Angel Says:

  39. naz Says:

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble making a backup copy of the original SD card that came with my MRM 1200. Does anyone know how to make a backup copy of the original card that will work in the 1200. I have tried making a copy on my PC by copying and pasting to a new SD card but it doesn’t work. The 1200 asks for the original card. Thanks. — naz
