If you’re looking for the right Magellan GPS text to speech vehicle GPS navigator, then you’re in luck! You’ve got several models to choose from in both Magellan’s Maestro and RoadMate series.
Actually, by far most of Magellan’s portable GPS navigators have test to speech, which means they say the name of the street you’re to turn on, instead of just saying, “Turn right, here.” Unlike Garmin, however, not all of Magellan’s devices have text to speech.
All but two of the vehicle GPS navigators in Garmin’s nuvi line have text to speech, whereas there are still a few navigators in Magellan’s two lines that don’t have text to speech. So, you’ll definitely want to make sure the actual model you buy comes with text to speech.
Magellan’s GPS’s are broken up into two lines, the Maestros and the RoadMates. Both are great devices and both have access to the Triple A Tour Book, if you’re a subscriber. (That’s a great proprietary feature that only Magellan offers.)
The Maestro line is further divided into the 4000 and the 3000 series. The only big difference between the two is the 4000 series have the larger, wide screens, whereas the 3000 models have the normal, 3.5-inch screen. Any model in the maestro line with a number greater than 4220 or 3220 will be a Magellan GPS text to speech device. The lower numbered models don’t all have text to speech.
Most of the RoadMates have text to speech.
Right now, you can get a Magellan GPS text to speech vehicle navigator for around $150.
Honestly, Garmin and TomTom both …
