I have owned a Magellan in the past that had a doorbell sound that alerted the driver for the next turn. Does this one have that same feature?

Yes it has the doorbell sound also has a chime and a beep that sounds like a flute
88471
Yes. It goes ding-dong for a right turn, and dong- ding for left. For me, this is perfect.

No there appears to be little interest by Magellan to resolve issues. We returned our unit after failed attempts to get issues resolved. I don't recommend it.

I only used the feature once when I first bought the device to see if it works. None on my phone calls are important enought that they can't wait until I'm not driving. I know it had a lot to do with the phone, and nothing to do with the Motoroal Roadster so a lot would deoned on what kind of phone you are using, and I would not be able to help you there.

I do not know. I have not slected feature. It is not a normal Route Setting. Call Magellan Customer Service and ask

I have occasionally had the same problem. This one seems to have a delay. I have that problem, but not all the time... so I'm guessing there's a delay and you only hear it ring if the person doesn't pick up on the first ring or two (that's just a guess though.) I had the original Roadster and had no issues with it, but this second version constantly frustrates me because of the delay (more when answering calls than calling out.)

Big Marcus, A very big yes on Ka detection. My commute each day is through SE MA and RI and my whistler always alerts me well in advance when the stateys are setting up a trap. As for GPS, not sure since neither model that I have owned had that feature. Hope that info helps. BTW, for the price, Whistler can't be beat.

If this feature is on the camera will make a sound if you wonder from your lane. This only works well if the lanes are marked. However, since it is not wired into your vehicles system it will sound during every lane change because it does not know if your turn signal is on and therefore an intentional lane change. can get annoying.

Yes, it does. But you should order additional car charges in advance if you buy this unit. In a two-year span of time, three charges broke due to a design flaw. When I appealed to Magellan to give me a new charger at no cost, they basically told me that they were sorry about my luck, but I would have to pay for a new charger. Instead of doing that, I threw the unit away and purchased a TomTom, which I have found to be significantly better than the Magellan. Seriously, I recommend not buying this product. The unit itself is great, but the charger has a design flaw and their customer service is heartless. Yes, it does. But you should order additional car charges in advance if you buy this unit.

It does in certain situations. On GPS mode it will "pop" open another window to show the turn/exit as shown. Also if watching a movie it and using the gps it will do the same. However there is no setting for you to do this yourself.

Yes. You can continue to listen to music regardless of the other app that you're using (reverse camera, Garmin Street Pilot, searching through your phone contacts on-screen preparing to make a call, etc.). The music automatically mutes when driving directions are issued. I hope this helps. -Dean

Not that I'm aware of. This detector is pretty nice. I use the app "waze" on my cell and have a phone holder inserted into my cd player opening and with both devices turned on its a pretty safe drive on the highway here around Tampa. Good luck.

Magellan's customer support stinks -- you will be lucky if you get your issue resolved. Typically, the only way to 'fix' issues like this is to return your unit and buy a competitors product.

No it does not but....the nice lady tells ya..."Approaching, your turn on the left" about every 5 seconds until you get to the turn... :-)

Hello. If the magellan uses a standard RCA video input connector (typically yellow - often you find these cables with red, white, and yellow connectors.. red/white for audio (left/right) and yellow for video), then yes it should work.

I don't think this is the case. Magellan just released another update firmware and map update for the older Maestro series, so it appears they are going to support the Maestros going forward. There are also new Maestro models soon to be released.

Yes, the detector gives different sounding codes based on the type of 'radar' being utilized. There's also a voice recorded in the unit to tell you what it is. So you'll get something like "beep, beep, beep, K-Band" or "... X-Band" or "KA-band" or "Laser Alert". It is, to my knowledge and from my experience with the device, 360 degrees of detection with the possible exception of laser. I think the laser is somewhat limited to a wide front angle and a wide rear angle. Obviously since laser is a light-based wave, the side of the car may be interfering with the device's ability to sense it. I hope this was useful.

Yes to both questionable items. Just remember that this GPS device has a Category problem and problem has been identified by Magellan as a problem.
