Product Description |
|
Make using your Magellan RoadMate in multiple vehicles even easier with this universal cradle. Magellan RoadMate is compact and lightweight, easily transferable between vehicles. With another cradle mounted in a second vehicle, you can move your Magellan RoadMate back and forth without moving or readjusting the mount. The universal cradle is the same as the original that comes with your Magellan RoadMate and can be used as a replacement, should your cradle be lost or damaged. |

These cradles are a rip off |
|
The little tongs you see there a extremely delicate and if one gets bent which it will you will lose connection to the GPS. A couple of years ago we had to buy a replacement cradle and at the time they were way cheaper-like $30. Now I guess since they are so delicate and constantly needs replaced and this is your only option if you want your GPS to work they've jacked up the price to $70. Nice company. Not money hungry or heartless or anything. Since we've replaced the last one another tong has been bent so guess what that means? To be honest we're selling our Magellan and buying a Tomtom. I refuse to keep handing them money because they've sold us a bad product. |

Thought this would fix my problem |
|
Considering the power pin in the mount appeared to be loose, I thought this would fix my issue. The power cord appeared fine. Sorry to say, this did not fix the problem and only when I bought the power cord (a gamble) did both work. It's almost like the mount and the cord were made for each other and neither would work by itself. |

Just like mom used to make ... |

What can one say about an OEM replacement? They work like the one they replace. After 5 years, my original started having problems staying powered up and I traced it the power jack on the cradle, so I bought a replacement. Just a thought if you're buying one and you want multiple mounts ... Since these screw on to their respective mount, you might want to have one for each type of mount. I have the windshield suction as well as the weighted dashboard "pad" but to switch back and forth between them I need to unscrew the cradle. I know ... not tragic, but I like to keep one in my travel bag and the other in my car. |

Pricy but better then a pull tie |
|
This is one of those situations where the cost of a cradle is 1/3 of a new GPS system... is it worth it??? Well if you have the 700 or 760 I say trash it and take the money for the new cradle and new maps and go buy a Garmin!! |
