 magellan 3065 September 4, 2010
Alex M (Los Angeles, CA, US)
Can't complain, this is my first gps and the unit is pretty solid. Got it as a gift back in June when there were no reviews due to its release in May and so far its been great.
No mounting issues with the charger to the unit using the cradle... a little common sense would show one that the connector first slides into the mount to keep it in place so you can slide the unit right onto the cradle and not have to worry about the cable falling off every time you remove the unit from its cradle. That simple.
Map recalculating is pretty fast, driving all over LA knowing my own short cuts, it keeps up instantaneously. The traffic alert is great and one of the main reasons I wanted this unit, in LA I find this a huge plus, so one knows when to avoid a jam and it updates fairly fast since I'm in a big city. Only used the traffic wake up feature once, and it does its job, just not what I need, since I don't have a routine route.
Bluetooth would be my only gripe at the moment. When it connects with my phone, its great, but I tend to find myself having to kill the units power and restart it to reconnect at times. Not a huge problem, and it will probably be addressed in the next update. Call quality is clear on both sides and loud if you tune it. There is about a 10 second delay when you make or take a call, but its all getting use to it.
I would definitely recommend a DC to AC wall plug, so you can mess around with the unit at home or give it a good charge if you intend to walk around with it...
It also has a pedestrian mode, not the best, and not highlighted much as a feature, but it works, and it also stored the location of my car while going into pedestrian mode. However once I powered it off and turned it back on I was on my own... A cool feature, just needs to save it.
Everything else is great, AAA tour books has helped me find attractions on the go, and its nice to know where to get member discounts.
Again solid unit and at the right price worth the buy.
Overall vey good GPS August 9, 2010

To the reviewer who said there is a problem with the charger with the mount:
The usb charger end has to be "Slid" into the mount first, then you can put the GPS unit on the cradle. You cannot just plug it in the back of the gps unit with the mount on. It wont fit.
I have had tomtom 340s and Garmin 1250t units. This is very comparible to the tomtom and garmin gps units.
The screen is much nicer than the tomtom and the mapping is better than the garmin. (at least the overall software look and feel)
Overall the 3065 is a very good unit
 not compatible August 2, 2010

I purchased this device several days ago. Key features that interested me were the spoken road name style directions, blue tooth, and the ability to make multi-stop trips.
The gps works fine as a gps from one location to the next and is easy enough to use. However, the blue tooth function is only compatible with so many phones (by so many I mean mostly the Apple). I am able to pair my phone send and recieve calls and hear the person on the other line... they just can't hear me making this function useless.
Even after reading the instruction manual and looking online I have not yet been able to create a multistop trip. that paired with the short lifespan of the system on battery power makes this only good for going to places you probally arleady know how to get to.
 Faulty Manufacturing causing Traffic Alert Issues July 21, 2010

I bought this product a couple of days ago and have been testing it. Noticed that the way the windshield mount is manufactured, the car charger's GPS end does not fit in neatly into the mount and as a result two things happen:
1) The charger cord gets unplugged very easily from the GPS/ windshield mount, AND
2) Importantly, it impacts the Traffic Alerts--I did not receive the Traffic Alert signal for the longest time and then when I plugged in the car charger/power chord without the windshield mount I was able to get the Alerts. It was then that I noticed that the car charger does not fit /plug in neatly into the windshield mount because of the way it has been manufactured!!
Truly a QA issue in my opinion.
Very Nice July 18, 2010

This is my first car GPS (I've used a nautical GPS for years). It works well, nice touch screen, good graphics, and accurate. The sound for the bluetooth is okay.
