The arm pivots at the suction cup, and pivots/rotates/tilts at the GPS end. I also tested it on the glass, which worked just as well, but I found the dash mount really kept the field of view clear. When I got home, it popped right off when I released the suction. I ran it this way for 5 days, and that arm never budged. You are not seeing things – that is suctioned onto the (not smooth) dashboard. It heroically tried to find alternate routes, but since it was LA, the alternates were just as snarled. The 9250T did a great job of telling us about the bad LA traffic. We ran with live traffic since we were driving in the LA area quite a bit during the road trip test. I prefer the landscape view, but the 9250T can go either way. If you prefer a tall, thin view you can rotate the screen. If you’ve been using your smart phone GPS, you’ve been getting by with a lot less accuracy.

Most of the defaults are sane, fortunately, so you’ll only dip into these once or twice as you tune the 9250T to your liking.Īccording to the specifications, the 9250T has a high-sensitivity GPS with a multi-directional patch antenna. You’re never more than two miles from a Starbucks! Yes, there are a million coffee (or Tofu) houses within a mile of my home. But it knows all the colleges we were looking for in Southern California. Honestly you should NOT be entering text on your GPS while driving, so making it “easier’ to do so isn’t really a feature. Thankfully that’s a setting, and once turned off, text entry was smooth and fast. There is also audible conformation of each key (it says the letters as you press them) which was maddening and really slowed down text entry. I suppose this is helpful, but I never liked it. So once you’ve entered a city, and you start entering a street, it tries to help you by limiting what you can enter to just keys that are possible.

The Magellan software continually searches its database of addresses as you enter more and more information, and keys that aren’t possible become grayed out. The Navigation Menu, with typical choices.ĭata entry keyboard. The startup configuration lets you select your language. These are actual photographs (in daylight no less) which should give you a good feel for just how bright and clear this display is. I’ve not used a dedicated GPS for a number of years yet found the interface to be familiar enough that I was able to find my way around fairly easily. The Magellan Interface seems to be fairly consistent across products (and over time!). There is an SD card slot on the bottom right side – you can add additional map regions via the SD card slot. You can also see the mounting slots – the GPS slides down onto the mounting bracket head and snaps in. The back view- the single speaker is rear mounted, but plenty loud.

The GPS is roughly 7.5″ wide, 4.5″ tall, and 3/4″ deep. That’s light enough that it’s easy to pop off the mounting bracket and toss into a bag when you’ve parked.

Obviously you’ll not be using the 9250T for walking directions, at least not for very long walks! The 9250T has a plastic body, so it weighs in at a light 12oz/340g. This is handy for entering addresses and reviewing routes without needing a power source, but you’ll want the DC power for actual navigation use. The GPS has an internal 720mAh Li-ion battery that can run the GPS for about 30 minutes. You can see here it dwarfs my (otherwise large!) Nokia 920 4.5″ display size. The GPS unit is big, thanks to its 7″ touch screen.
