Fw: Thank you for registering your Magellan product!

You may already be aware of this, but in case you're not. . .Magellan sucks!  The GPS maker, not the dead explorer whose name they disgrace and dishonor.  Not only do you NOT get a free map update - which anyone surely wants on a unit that may have been sitting on shelves for a year or more - their website lists the Spring 2010 map update as the latest one available!!!

 To further the insult, I found a dead link (without looking very hard).  I guess either of the following is no big deal taken on it's own, but together amounts to a legitimate gripe: they fail to include in the box a USB cable as well as a disc with any software or digital version of the manual!  

Fortunately, this crappy product (model 1424, Roadmate I think) was a door prize so not a cent was wasted on it.  I've had nothing but joy with my Garmin 1300, btw.  The prices just keep dropping, so if you've been contemplating it, go online and find a deal on one!
