Title: Good GPS, bad cradle
Product review: I've got a Roadmate 800 something. The Gps is great when it works. The Suction cup mount and cradle it comes with likes to fall off the windshield. Therefore, the GPS unit hits the floor with the power cord still attached. Eventually, the power end must have broken the small pin inside the unit that supplies power. I bought the replacement, and the unit works again.Magellan has a superior GPS technology, but design and durability is not that great. I also have a TomTom unit that is easly upgradable, and pretty stable on the windshield, but the software doesn't give me the same directions as the Magellan, but this is a review about the cradle. What can I say, if your cradle is broken, you MUST buy this one, but that doesn't make it better, just necessary.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
