Thanks for the great conversations that are happening here! Since this page is getting long with comments I’ve decided to try something new.

We are now offering GPS Forums where you can start your own threads, reply to others, and have a slightly more unmoderated, free flowing discussion than these comments allow.

You will need to register for the forums to participate although hopefully it will be painless.

Here is a link where you can find the Magellan RoadMate forum where you can continue to discuss the RoadMate 6000T.

The only people who will know about the forums (for now) are people that read this comment, and the same comment on a couple of other posts. Therefore the amount of posts will be very small at first. It is a test, and if things go well I’ll make a full announcement and encourage more participation in the forums. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

I have had the 6000T for a little over a month and have been extremely satisfied with the unit.

For you question about remembering a short cut. It does not have the ability to remember the route you took as a choice. One of the new 2500T might but I do not know for sure because they deal with waypoints differently. With this unit once you select the type of route…Least use of toll road..etc you do have the ability to change it by taking out parts of the route or by doing a trip and picking an intersection as part of your route so it forces the unit to go in a particular route, but it will not save that route for you. You would have to initiate the special route each time. But I think you could save the Trip routing and then it should take you that way each time because you forced it with intersections to go the way you want…just extra work on your part to set it up.

I have not seen any Auto type gps do what you want but there may be one out there, since Trail units help you retrace a route.

Good Luck…

My concern about the wrong turn with the 3050 vs the 6000T is they are pretty much the same unit except with the 6000T you get Bluetooth and Say-Where directions as well as the Traffic assist. Maybe that will fix the glitch. But I would suspect the issue is with NAVTEQ and not the Magellen unit so any unit using NAVTEQ including Garmin would show the problem. For Example my home is 100 yds off from what the address delivers in NAVTEQ and that has been the same on all my friends units that are varied, like Mercedes or Cadillac and others.

Good luck with your choice…I have also found this site to be a jewel in helping make decisions.

I have two questions that I hope someone can respond to:

(1) Does the blue tooth work on the Verizon Q PDA device?

(2) Does the 6000T have a memory if you take a short cut? I live in NYC and travel back and forth on the LIE to my home in the Hampton’s.

My old 3050 used to direct me to get off the LIE and take the white stone bridge where I had just continued to go straight into NYC. Will the 6000T remember my short cuts?

I found this site very very helpful I thank all who have listed there comments.

Drive Safely

I bit the bullet & bought the 6000T. It has frozen up a few times. I also noted it has given conflicting directions (get on & off the same road or hwy even though the road does go through).

Am having trouble figuring out the multi-destination routing. My trip button is not allowing me to enable it. Any ideas on how to do this?

Also, has anyone figured out how to look up POI’s without having to re-enter your trip info?
Thanks!!

Are there anybody who has used both units? What are the cons and pros?

By the way – this past weekend, the traffic feature of “maggie” saved me from driving into a traffic jam in Chicago – and routed me to another non-expressway route that was just fine.

I am also interested in the unit’s photo viewing capability. I saw only one person’s experience indicating there is an unwanted flicker. Have any other users experienced this capability and if so, how did it function.

Hopefully I can receive your input soon since my travels start in 10 days.

Thanks for your help and useful reviews.
