Hi Maggie,
What would you say are the better features of the Magellan app when compared with Navigon or TomTom?
Also, do you know when the car kit will be available? If so, how much will it cost?
Thanks,

Got Magellan a few days ago. Also have Navigon and Motion X.
I really like Magellan. Realy clean Gui. Easy to read street addresses and upcoming turns and such.
Search function is much preferred over Navigon as you can search for a business by name. (can't on Navigon - you have to go to category first which totally sucks). Also Poi's seem better than Navigon - though not as good motion x.
I don't like the Magellan keyboard. I hope they change it.
Also the Magellan pauses iPod when instructions come on which is great for audio books and podcasts. Navigon fades out iPod so you miss stuff.
Magellan has the makings of becoming the best nav app. I recommend it slightly over Navigon.
Maggie, I keep my iPhone 3G in a HybridShell case by Digital Lifestyle Outfitters which is a hassle to remove. Do you know if the Car Kit will allow the iPhone to fit with the case on? Also a few ?'s on the software: 1. are there multiple voices to choose from, 2. when listening to music and a direction announcement is made is the music paused and if so does it automatically restart, and 3. is there an option for real-time traffic? The new Magellan iPhone offerings look great and the intro price savings are significant. Thanks for your valuable comments.
Maggie,
I just purchased the RoadMate App from Itunes and have an Iphone 3G. I have 2.13GB available, yet everytime I try installing the App I get an error message telling me that there is not enough space. Before purchasing, I saw on all of your documentation that the App was 1.36GB and that you needed 2GB of available space, which I clearly have, yet I simply cannot install the App. Any advice? Thanks!

Maggie, Thanks for the answers. One more follow-on: Is the car mount set up to attach to either the windshield or dash and is the normal attachment such that it can be easily removed (theft deterrent) or moved between card? I am aware of the special savings thru 12/8 & am trying to get comfortable buying the hardware before it is released & reviewed.
Bonnie, one last question before the special ends tonight: will the app work in a first generation iPhone (without the built-in gps) when that phone is mounted in the car Kit? Also am I right that despite a strong windshield suction cup the suction can be released so that the unit can be moved between cars? Thanks again.
Maggie, I noticed that the website indicates that the software/car kit supports iPod touch & doesn't include first generation iPhone. I do hope that this gets tested very soon & all iPhone models are proven to work, if not for those of us with both a newer & older iPhones TomTom wins on this point. Unfortunately, I chose to miss out on the sale price for the car kit until this (sort of important?) issues gets clarified. Will look forward to more information on this. Thanks Again.
