Magellan RoadMate 5045

The Magellan RoadMate 5045 is a middle-end GPS. It is designed to provide a user with their current location, as well as directions to locations they look up. It features free lifetime traffic, a free map update, and spoken street names and directions.

The lifetime traffic feature keeps the GPS up to date with traffic in real-time. This lets the user know where things such as traffic jams are, so they can avoid them. The RoadMate 5045 includes a free map update, that lets the user download an updated version of their map, adding new geographical points. The GPS is also capable of speaking street names and directions. This allows a user to focus on the road, so they won't even have to turn their head to look at the screen. When compared to another GPS by Magellan, the RoadMate 2055, the RoadMate 5045 has several advantages, including a bigger screen and a free map update.
