Apr 20, 2011. Hackaday reader [Paul] recently shared a simple hack he put together via our Flickr photostream. It seems that his Magellan GPS unit is pretty finicky when it comes to power supplies. When connected to the Magellan adapter, the GPS unit charged as you would expect. When connected to a PC, it sensed. Extra-large, 7-inch LCD. Very fast UI and POI search.

Mar 25, 2010,, Magellan RoadMate 3065 must be coming out shortly in the U.S. Since it just made it through FCC. One of the biggest features that puts RoadMate 3065 ahead of the others is that it can “wake up” at a preset time to download traffic information for you so you can make a more advised decision at the beginning of your trip rather than during. However it sounds like this is going to be a premium feature yet we still don’t know how much it will cost or how it will download traffic data.

Mar 18, 2010,,,, We know you’ve been waiting for this one. We’re giving away (that means free) a that couple of weeks ago. This truly is a multi talented car kit.

First off it has its own GPS receiver. What does that do you might ask?

Faster satellite fix, and the ability to use your iPhone as a GPS navigator when no cell towers are around to help you out. Secondly it has an amplified noise canceling speakerphone. It has bluetooth to pair up with your iPhone and of course charges your iPhone too. Oh it also plays well with your case whether it’s hard shell or silicon. The best part is Magellan iPhone car kit can be used with any.

You don’t have to buy but when we reviewed them as a combo we were quite pleased with it. Here’s what you need to do: 1) subscribe to our and then 2) leave a comment below. Do make sure you enter a valid email so we can contact you back. We will ship this out to a U.S. Address only.

Sorry rest of the world. Also duplicate entries, emails, IP addresses will be disqualified. We’ll close this article for comments a week from today and after that we’ll announce the winner. Mar 2, 2010,,,,, We recently received the for iPhone or iPod Touch (compatible with iPhone 3G and 3GS or iPod Touch2G). We knew we were going to like it immediately upon opening, as it went from the box to mounted on the windshield in less than 2 minutes. After installing the, we were off! (A somewhat lengthy download and install process, but one that is well worth the wait.) Using these two together – Magellan Premium Car Kit + Magellan RoadMate app – has at least one notable benefit; the Car Kit has a built-in GPS receiver, enhancing the performance of the RoadMate app.

While we didn’t test with the iPod Touch, clearly the Car Kit is a valuable and compatible mate. Unlike the iPhone, the iPod Touch does not have any GPS capabilities of it’s own. Combined with the Magellan Premium Car Kit, your iPod Touch becomes a navigation tool.
