Magellan does use road maps from Navteq, however Navteq doesn’t make marine maps. (And if they did the marine maps wouldn’t likely work in the RoadMate anyway.)

Magellan 2200T – I have had the same problems with mine after the upgrade, sometimes I turn it on, it comes on, and shuts right off. one time it wouldnt turn on at all, I had to open it and disconnect the battery – then reconnect to get it to turn on. at times it now directs me on to a road going the wrong way, then has me turn around and go the proper way. last night it actually put me in a loop going in a circle and kept me there -
time for a Garmin I’m thinking…

Just a note re: the map update/upgrade to xover. Got it direct- no issues on install. Graphics more snazzy–though too many touches required to enter a destination, maps are truly updated, my unit is more unstable since. Slower startup and satellite acquisition, unit will announce a left turn-where map routing (correctly) indicate a right turn–this is a sporadic issue. I don’t use xover features

Do you mean something like a map update? I’d purchase the map update directly from Magellan.

What website or store is the best pace to buy a update for the 2200T series.

Just a datapoint… I got a 2200T refurbished for my wife this past Christmas. It has mostly worked very well for her. Occasionally it gets mixed up and starts displaying something crazy (maybe once every month or two?), but all but once, turning it off and back on cleared up the problem. Once it took pressing the reset button to get it back in its right mind. My wife likes the way it gives directions, giving her a heads before the upcoming turns, and then ‘dinging’ right when the turn needs to be made. It doesn’t always tell her the very fastest route to take, but it has been VERY rare that it just can’t get her where she needs to go.

I have owned a 2200t for about a year and a half. Immediately after the upgrade the unit began functioning intermittently. First it would not turn on using the power switch. Occasionally not at all, but then would spring back to life somehow. Finally nothing. Waiting for an RGA from Magellan but not sure it is worth it.

Is the v.2 update for the 2200T worthwhile for the occasional user? I think not. I live in SF CA the roads change faster than the weather. I sure do not want to put out the $$ for a update that will be out of date before Magellan ships. I am satisfied with the 2200T for now but will think hard and long before my next purchase. Free updates will be my priority.

I have Magellan Roadmate 2200t and have been using it for about a year with no problems.
The new magellan software is out that updates the 2200t to crossover for $80. Has anyone tried this out yet?
