Summary: Excellent value
Comment: I've purchased two of Magellan's 2200T and am very satisfied. I bought my first unit to utilize on my motorcycles as this is the only reasonably priced waterproof unit I could find and was happy with a previous Magellan gps. Liked it so much as a general use gps that I've recently purchased another as a Christmas gift for my daughter. The interface, especially with the upgrade including boating and backpack use, is quite nice.

Summary: Hey Dude, where's my satilitte?
Comment: I have owned my 2200T for 2 years. I started with the original maps, hopelessly out of date, & bought the $80 Map Upgrade in May 08. The new Interface & Voice were greatly improved. The Maps themselves were more current but not as good as I had hoped.
3 problems have spoiled the experience.
1. Time it takes to link with a Satalitte. I fly all over the country & arrive with the unit off. That means I sit in a parking lot for 2 to 20 minutes while I wait for the minimum of 5 satalittes it takes to locate my position. Rain, Snow, Clouds, Trees & Buildings often cause the link to be dropped.
I drove 30 miles waiting for the next instruction only to find I had no signal. I pulled over & waited another 15 minutes for the link to be reestablished. Couldn't the unit announce "Signal Lost"?
2. THe New Maps look great & I really like the new interface, however the routing software is often confused when 1 road passes over another. Toronto, Lester Pierson Airport, Newark, Liberty Airport, & many others, the routing has you turn left, drive 1 mile, "Recalculating Route" then "At the next intersection, make a legal U-Turn" & back to the same place you turned left & then it takes you right back around the circle. I find when I get close to the Airport, I just turn it off & follow the signs.
3. Customer Support? What Customer Support. CS e-Mail Address on the Web Site returns as Bad Address. I've never talked to or had any Customer Support short of buying the Map Update.
THe 2200T was my 1st GPS & I was pleased with the old routing software though the maps were hopelessly out of date & the voice was very hard to understand. At least it got me there.
I was pleased with the new interface but the routing software sucks & the Satalitte links are fragile. THere is no Antennae booster unless you buy the Traffic Package. Hmmmm, $75 for something it should have had all along.

Summary: Don't buy
Comment: 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.

Summary: DO NOT BUY!!!!
Comment: I purchased this Because of Price and learned that going cheaper isn't allways better. I used it three times and now the unit won't even turn on. I've called customer service and get some guy in India who I could barely understand. It's not worth the hassle, Just spend the money on a Garmin.I saw some reviews where they were satisfied with there Magellin.I have nothing good to say about it and won't purchase another magellin product.
