5 comments about Magellan High Performance External Remote GPS Antenna w/suction cup mount for RoadMate 300, 500, 700, 760, Meridian Color GPS Receivers (SMB-F) 3ft cable with Antenna Windshild Suction Cup Mount (AWMG).

1. I cancelled order but there customer service people were very good. Replied to e-mails super fast and issued a refund. Very good service and I didn't even buy anything from them. They should be great if you do.



2. This thing just doesen't work period. No differenece with the included antenna. Save time and money, get the original OEM part for your GPS wich now cost me $28 more.



3. I am very happy with the results of using the antenna. It has enhanced the
   sensitivity of my Lowrance 500 iways. I would highly recommend it as an
   accessory for a gps.



4. I live in Plano, TX and traveled to the northeast for a job, living in Stamford, Ct and working in Rye Brook, NY. I kept getting lost and a friend told me about Megellan GPS, I put in the addresses and go.
   
   The area that I am in there are quite a lot of trees and buildings, maybe the cause of what I have experienced losing connection to the satellites
   
   The external antenna is the greatest purchase that I have made besides the Megellan GPS. With the factory antenna I kept getting antenna signals sometimes in green (good signal) mostly in the Low (showed yellow) and sometimes no antenna (showed red). Using the Magellan High Performance External Remote GPS Antenna also amplifies the signal to the GPS; the Magellan compass is showing excellent antenna connection showing in Blue for a strong connection to the GPS satellites.
   
   Now in the NY and CT areas, the only time I loose my signal, is going through long tunnels and I get almost completely through the tunnel before I loose the signal.
   
   I have traveled to Chicago, IL. throughout Texas with the GPS and external antenna. I never get lost anymore, and have to stop and ask; "How do I get to ______?" With the GPS and the external antenna, I never feel embarrassed going into a convenience store or service station anymore.
   
   This external antenna can be purchased for all types of GPS units. Good Luck and Great Traveling.
   
   Enjoy driving once more and of course; Never Lost Again!

5. Works great! My Roademate would not work well in cloudy or tree covered areas with the built in antenna. It works fantastic now with this external antenna.

1. I have owned the Magellan 760 for 21 months. It kept freezing up and finally quit working all together while it was still under warranty and it was repaired in a timely manner. However, the screws that hold the machine together were left out of the back and although I was promised replacements 3 times, they never arrived. I have had to keep it wrapped with a hair tie or rubber band the past year. But it has worked well since it was repaired.
   Just now it is fading, the voice is hoarse and the favorite places function has failed. It cost a lot to last less than 2 years. I am trying to decide which brand and model to replace it with, as I plan to never be without a GPS, they are the best invention ever. I can get lost better and faster than anyone I know.
   Overall, this has been good. When it works, it's really great. But the maps have been kind of old since I first got it in Oct 05. It really liked to direct you to Lowe's in Lubbock, Texas 3,600 miles away instead the Lowe's 3 miles away. A friend has a Cobra, while it has good features, it's the most talkative, annoying thing you can imagine. The Magellan 760 is very slow compared to another friend's new Garmin Nuvi 660. In a busy town with lots of exits, I often miss my exit but the good part is with the GPS,I can get back on track quickly instead of wandering, weeping and lost for hours. It holds information for 3 drivers and this wastes a lot of space. I would often run out of space for my favorite places and it was annoying because I am the only driver using it and I know there is plenty of room under 2 other names. But to get to those, you have to turn off the machine, reboot it and try to remember which of the other 2 potential drivers have the site you need, and try not to have a wreck while you are doing all this. The valuable thing about favorite places is even if your maps are old, you only have to rant and rave and drive around like crazy once. You finally get there, save it in your favorites and life is good again. Absolutely I plan to buy another GPS. I am not certain it will be a Magellan.



2. My husband's wanted a GPS unit forever, he finally got his wish and loves this, easy to use, store when you leave the car, great product, no issues on the reconditioned model, highly recommended.



3. I was happy with this unit when I bought it just under a year ago. Even if the mapping was out of date. It often could only find the road I needed not the address. However in November it could not connect to a satellite at all. I did research and found a reported common problem was the antenna cable inside would break off the circuit board. I found this was the case and paid a local computer repair store to fix it. In less than a week it began to turn on and off repeatedly. More research showed the power mounting cradle needed replacing. I just got that in and found it is still not working. A call to tech support told me to replace the mounting cradle. When I told them I just did, they told me to send it in for repair. The base repair cost is more than 1/2 the cost I paid for the unit. Given the replacement part I already purchased and the cost of the repair of the broken antenna lead this will put repair costs close to the purchase cost of the unit. And all this in less than 1 years use. I CAN NOT recommend this product to anyone.



4. Hi,
   
   I have Magellan Roadmate 760 for 2 yrs now. I accidently deleted the maps. Can someone help me with the software?
   
   Thanks



5. Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they refused to give me the update. This is a bad business practice. Garmin has a 60 day guarantee which is posted directly on their website in plain view.

1. This is a good mount, very sturdy and can pivot in miltiple places. It is kind of big and that is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.

1. I bought this to mount my Garmin GPSmap 478 on a bicycle, Sun EZ-1. It works great. It securely holds the GPS and adjusts easily to any angle. The kit came with two U-bolt sizes and a plastic insert. Simple to install and works great.
