Details

NOTE: This item has been discontinued by Magellan. For the latest RoadMate-style technology, check out the Magellan Maestro 4250 (click here), with a wider screen, fresher maps, and new voice-recognition technology!

The makers of Hertz NeverLost have found something new: the Magellan RoadMate 6000T. This innovative new RoadMate takes the high-powered features of the RoadMate 800 and crams it into a sleek-looking, compact unit. It's easy to use and fits in your shirt pocket when you leave the car. Turn-by-turn voice guidance with SayWhere text-to-speech technology tells you when to take that next turn, including the name of the street and distance to the turn. The RoadMate 6000T at Tiger GPS also includes a traffic receiver, letting you view live traffic conditions right on the screen. What's more, Bluetooth wireless technology, a built-in microphone and speaker enable you to use the Magellan RoadMate 6000T for hands free calling in your car as you drive (requires Bluetooth enabled phone). The RoadMate 6000T is SD-card compatible so that you can easily load MP3s and digital photo files, as well as up to one million custom points-of-interest, in case the included six million weren't enough. Magellan is also offering a RoadMate 3000T, a scaled-down unit which lets you purchase the traffic receiver as an accessory, and the RoadMate 3050T which includes the traffic receiver but still lacks the Bluetooth and SayWhere features of the 6000T.
