I bought the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM GPS out of nasessity because my old Magellan Maestro 4370 had died on me when I was on my way to pick up a large settlement for the law firm I work for and God forbidd, gotten lost. I also bought it for the free life time Maps. My problem I mostly incounter with Gps's I've owned was that after a while the model is replaced by a better model and the company that producese it no longer provide map updates for it. And where I live, new streets, roads, on/off ramps,highways are always the norm.What I like most about The Magellan RoadMate 5045 is it size. I don't have to sqint like I had with my older and smaller (4.3inch)Gps unit.What I dislike about the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM GPS that stands out is the pointer that's on the display, ya' know, the one blue pointer that represents your car in it's relative position on the map. The pointer seems too large for me to the extent that the road you are comming up on to make a turn seems it's still a little ways up until you pass it.For ME I wont buy it again simply because of the above mentioned dislike which is really nothing once you get use to it and because it doesn't have the extra features such as blue-tooth phone, mp3 player and the like, like my other older decommissioned Magellan Maesto 4370. But for ANYONE who wants a good better that adverage gps unit with Life time map upgrades then, The Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM Automotive GPS Receiver is your best bet!
