volume of magellan roadmate 3000t is there anybody who know why the volume of the gps instead of going higher after 60 mph, is going lower ?thanks.

Check your settings to see what your "increased" volume is set to (you'll have to read the manual to find out where to set it). If you already have the volume set to be loud for lower speeds but your "increased" volume is set to a lower level (mine came set at "1", which is the lowest level) it will change to that lower level at a higher speed.Hope this helps.

thank you for your answer, but the gps was set to 3 by me, and automatic volume was set on "enable"...and still, the same issue.I the guys from Magellan, and I got the same answer from them.when I wrote it back and I told them that I have the same issue...no answer.thank you once again.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

Sadly, there are no Nuvi models with an external volume control (this seems to be the trend with all major GPS manufacturers). However, most people set the software volume control once and forget it (far too cumbersome to change volume on the fly while driving).

Klamath,I sympathize with you. I also made a mistake by attempting to update the firmware on my Roadmate 6000T which was in pristine condition and worked ok aside from the map being outdated. The thing crashed after the firmware update and would not start. It has been sent back to a repair center in Smynra, TN for a refurbished replacement, I just hope I don't get a crappy old thing back like you did, that is disgusting, IMO a refurbished unit should be like a new unit and not bashed up as you described, Magellan's after care service is terrible !!!

8 wasn't able to find anything either. I took the risk and bought the unit. Turns out its a pretty good GPS. Only issue I have is the time on it is not always correct. Wish I could help more.

I bought a new GPS which is very good, I like the maps and traffic updates. Bluetooth function works but is a little bit noisy most of the time.

I just got the 3790T. I was driving and my wife activated the GPS from the passenger seat. You need to pronounce the phrase like the GPS does. When you input one, it will repeat it back toy ou. I think it works great. I chose "CAPTAIN KIRK" because it had a good 'voice' strength of 80 and the GPS seems to recognize it even when softly talking to it. I mentioned the word to my wife in a conversation and the GPS 'heard' it and switched to Voice Mode.

Does anyone have information on source of Garmin or TomTom maps for road navigation in Chile?Thank.Pete Sexton

I am in the exact same situation, I am debating which GPS to return. 255WT or 285WT?285WT is actually cheaper too, since I didn't have to pay any tax buying from amazon.sigh... I should have just shelled out a little bit more for the 265WT from Radio shack.The bluetooth on the 285WT seems nice to have, but is the lifetime traffic on the 255WT any good, and is it more worthy than the bluetooth? I never followed the traffic information from my Navigion 2100T, since I am not sure how useful it is.

I bought it for my wife. She loves the GPS but doesn't use the voice command. When talking to someone in the car, the GPS will join the conversation. Sorry I can't help with the voice command.

The last software upgrade for this model on Magellan's website is from 2010. The last map update I could find was from Dec 2007 (see http://gpsinformation.net/allory/magfeat.htm#rm3000). So yeah, I would say that the gps upgrades on both map and software sides are obsolete (4+ yrs old)

I received a Magellan 4040 for Christmas and was able to download the 2.36 Firmware update directly from the Magellan website under the 4040 description. I haven't installed it yet, as I am still deciding whether to keep the Magellan despite the horror stories of customer serivice (or lack thereof), or switch to Garmin. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the update. I ended up in buying nuvi 2460LMT and I liked voice command, bluetooth connection with my iphone4. I didn't like Jill's terrible voice and missing map details.When I cross speed limit then I see a blinking red notification on screen. Does you nuvi2460 LMT gives an audible warning when you cross speed limit?Thx

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

I ran with my Garmin405CX just yesterday on a route that I know is almost exactly 3.1 miles. I've driven it and checked the odometer. I've walked it and counted paces with a pedometer. I've mapped it on Google and Yahoo to the same results. The 405CX absolutely nailed it. If it's an accuracy problem, I'd suspect it is related to location or satellite interference of some kind.

I don't know if it gives an audible warning as I always turn the audio off. I find it annoying. I have my 720 set to give a visual alarm at 5mph over the limit. It appears on the left edge of the display. It displays the speed limit and your speed below the limit. With a few exceptions the actual speed limit and the GPS displayed limit agree. Never trust any GPS 100%.

My new gps decision has came down to the roadmate 1470 or the garmin 760. Basically it seems, for me, its free traffic vs. auto-route sorting and bluetooth. Magellan does route planning, not route sorts (ie. find the most efficient route between all pts entered). If you want traffic then your talking $40 or $60 extra for the Garmin. So I'm trying to look at it like, Is auto-sort and bluetooth worth the extra $40-$60?
