Like much of the RoadMate series, the 2200T has the QuickSpell feature, which helps speed up the process of text entry. The latter holds up to 250 addresses and can include a street address, a point on the map, a POI, or an intersection. To start navigation, you can enter a specific street address, an intersection, or a POI or select an entry from the Address Book. The Magellan RoadMate 2200T features a SiRF Star III GPS chipset and comes preloaded with maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Aside from the power button, everything is protected by an attached rubber cover. On the left spine are a SD/MMC card expansion slot, a hold switch, and a reset button, while the right side has a power on/off button, USB port, a headphone jack, and a power connector. This doesn't affect the performance, but if you're like us, you want a tech gadget that looks good inside and out. Our only complaint is that the RoadMate 2200T's interface isn't as sophisticated as its competitors' in fact, it looks pretty darn archaic. The screen is also viewable in sunlight and at multiple angles. It displays 64,000 colors at a 320x240-pixel resolution, making maps, text, and images look sharp. Instead, all commands are entered via the unit's 3.5-inch, responsive touch screen. Magellan says you can also use the RoadMate 2200T as an outdoor product, and while feasible, we think it's a bit too clunky for hiking purposes and would prefer a dedicated handheld GPS device.ĭue to its new trim size, and unlike the other RoadMate models, there are no external controls on the face of the 2200T. It measures 3.7 by 2.0 by 0.6 inches and weighs 7.8 ounces for easy transport between vehicles. The Magellan RoadMate 2200T is the most compact and probably sharpest-looking device we've seen from the company.
