I previously used the 1412, and loved that feature. Since I have been using the 1700 I have had tons of trouble getting it to work with multiple destinations. I load them in after I set my initial address, then i get a voice prompt to confirm, but no button to confirm. When I hit the orange go button, it leads me to the first destination and rest have vanished and I have to enter the addresses after each stop. A real pain!! If anyone can help me with this feature please advise. I’m a realtor and really need a trip planner. I previously used the 1412, and loved that feature.

I need to look again but I think Crutchfield has a potential solution...they sell alot of good stuff and are super helpful on the phone...unlike Magellan who has only idiots. I don't have the time at the moment but if you do a chat with them online they can probably hook you up with something that 'might' work...let me know if you have success. =) Barry John…..I have been to an Apple store with the Magellan in hand…..they had nothing that would work. the 3.5 plug obviously has to be video and audio and I have found nothing other than some plugs for Ipod that work with some car in dash components.

I found a review on Amazon.com that recommends the purchase of a cable from Apple. I have not tried that yet. If you find any success let us know. Magellan doesn't seem to be providing any useful solutions. The standard answer to support calls is to \just plug in the 3.5 mm cable\. John Barry:
