About the Magellan RoadMate 9055-LM

Dominic DeVito
It's funny how technology has enabled our phones to get smaller and our televisions to get bigger. But what about our GPS navigators? For some folks, especially those with poor eyesight or drivers of large vehicles, smaller just won't cut it. The 7" display on Magellan's RoadMate 9055-LM navigator gives you a great view so you can drive with confidence. It includes free traffic updates that'll help you avoid jams in most metropolitan areas, and you can update your maps up to four times each year as long as you own your Magellan. It's easy and won't cost you a penny more.

Accurate maps and reliable guidance
Visit friends and family all over the place — the RoadMate 9055-LM features maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus 6 million points of interest so you can find accommodations nearby. You can follow the action on the 7" display, or listen to the voice prompts that eliminate confusion by announcing actual street names at turns. Magellan makes it especially easy to find stops near highway exits, so you don't waste time on a long trip. Worried about messy interchanges? Lane guidance will ensure you're in the right spot to make the next turn.

Built-in Bluetooth® connectivity and more
It's dangerous fumbling for your phone while you're driving, but you can make and receive hands-free calls with your compatible phone through the RoadMate 9055-LM. And you'll find that route optimization takes the hassle out of running errands by showing you the most efficient way to hit multiple spots on the same excursion. Magellan's OneTouch™ menu lets you save your favorite destinations and searches so you can pull them up without scrolling through multiple screens.

You can connect a rear-view camera to the 9055-LM through its built-in A/V input and use the navigator as a screen. Magellan does not include a connection cable for the A/V input.

To help you make sure you enter in the correct destination, the RoadMate 9055-LM will automatically correct spelling errors and complete your destination address.
