Magellan Crossover GPS 2500T

This is my third Magellan having owned the Magellan 6000 and 2200T prior to this one. By far, the Magellan 2500T acquires and holds satellite signals much better. Living in a concrete block house, acquiring a satellite signal was impossible with the 6000 model; however, with the 2500T, I reliably can find satellites. Outside or in the car, I've never had an issue with satellite aquisition. Inputting addresses is easy by starting with either city or zip, and the graphics are good. I wish there was a way to categorize my personal addresses and search accordingly such as a "restaurant" category for all of the restaurants entries I created within my address book. I used the Crossover while traversing Southern Utah, and this GPS unit had fire roads that were far off the beaten path within its mapping software ... a very good thing when exploring back roads and trying to navigate pitch black wilderness roads at night. Text –to-speech is good, but it mangles some words or names. Battery life is excellent, and it charges quickly. I went down to LA this past weekend, and the battery made it all the way down from SF with some power remaining. I haven't tested the marine or the topo functions yet, but plan to. The display quality of the images I loaded on the SD card are ok, but it depends on the image size. Some higher resolution images appear pixelated for some reason. The car mount is very adjustable and vibration free. The firmware update two-months ago improved the graphics, and introduced a "tow truck" icon on the vehicle nav main page. I believe this is for the Magellan models that support the AAA towing service ... it's just not supported by the Crossover GPS. Instead, clicking on the icon displays the current location. I bought mine at Costco earlier this year for $350, but now you can find it for less on Amazon or Newegg.
