Jerry's Ramblings

I was lucky enough to take the entire last week off for my honeymoon.  We took our 6 day, 5 night trip to the central coast here in California.  It was a much needed vacation and turned out to be fantastic.

Before we left, I ran to Costco and picked up a GPS to take along the way.  This GPS unit was fantastic.  It definitely took the stress out of navigating the unfamiliar roads and getting to our destinations quick and easy.

I normally don't do product reviews, but I thought this was fitting since I had such a great experience with this product.  The unit I purchased was the Magellan Roadmate 1412.  You can purchase the same model from Buy.com for just $229.98.

This model has a beautiful 4.3" widescreen touchscreen LCD and is loaded with 6+ million points of interest.  We were easily able to find restaurants, gas stations, banks and our specific destinations using this GPS.  It came with a windshield mount and power adapter.  It was super easy to use right out of the box.
