Magellan RoadMate is worthless

  On my Magellan RoadMate 2036-MU, the map (version 46.03) and software (vers=
ion 4.92) are updated to the current versions.

The RoadMate works splendidly, except that when "go" is pressed for navigat=
ional instructions, the unit displays a message that it must shut down and =
restart to save the data. When the unit restarts, it forgets about navigati=
on. So, navigation doesn't work.

Also, it is impossible to delete the "home" address -- the unit restarts an=
d forgets to delete that address.=20

So, if all you need is a map display, by all means buy a Magellan RoadMate.=
 If you want to navigate, you'd better buy a Garmin.

Magellan gave me a free replacement unit, and it works properly. I called M=

 The reconditioned unit works very well. Kudos to Magellan!
