Magellan RoadMate 800 GPS Review

by Online Shopper

Comments:
It looks like Magellan has released information about the new Magellan RoadMate 800 GPS. With the new RoadMate 800 you can play music, store photos, get driving directions with 3D maps all in a GPS that is closer in size to the smaller RoadMate 360
