hey man, im not sure if someone already asked you this but, does it also charge your iphone/ipod touch when you connect them together?
Hi! Can i use THIS car kit with an orher Gps app (like Navigon or TomTom) ??
I like this car kit, but the app graphics are not nice
where did you buy?i’m getting one for my suv
In the future we will all use navigation with voice to go to the toilet XD.
this is a great review man
does ndrive work with this ?
thanks in advance
malibu looks really nice.
will it work without the power connected
Hey Does the app show traffic and avoid traffic w/ alerts? Will i be able to use different gps apps with the craddle?
Hey Does the app show traffic and void w/ alerts?
You are very good at explaining things. Maybe you could explain how to use the Magellan 4700 for the first time, because I don’t know what to do to charge my battery, how long I should let it on the charger (car cigarette lighter). Also, how to update maps, and what to do if a street is not available when to add on personnal destinations.
Can anyone tell me if this works with iPod 1G?? I know it says 2G but I really want the Magellan one as my father has a Magellan GPS and I like it a lot. Also this is used with iPhone and iPod.
what gps app are you using and how much did it cost you?
i have a question, how is gonna work with the ipod if the ipod doesnt have wirless connection everywhere?
@a9653192 wondering this myself
Going over to Magellan with hopes of accommodation. I use the iTelescope with 2G. I plan to mount handlebars.
Hello, if I plug in my iPod Touch 2nd Generation will it also get GPS signal without monthly charges, essentially making my iPod a GPS for cars?
Also in the video do you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS ?
How about when you get a call do you get kicked out of the app ? After you end the call does it automatically resume navigation. Or does navigation keep going regardless.
Also can i answer phone calls via bluetooth and still navigate with the app.
Thank you for your time and the great review vid.
is it as accurate as like a real GPS unit
Thank you very much, realy not bad, but still missing the vent mount. Please answer to my second question too(about skype and radio)
No, it comes with 2 mounts. It includes a standard suction cup mount, as well as an adhesive dashboard mount. It does not come with a vent mount, but I thought it was great it came with the 2 it did. Hope this helps. Cheers.
Another question: only one mount? An acceptable car-kit should have window-dashboard and vent mount…
My car has a blutooth handsfree system, but if I make a skype call(via fring) it doesn’t work to transfer the call into the car handsfree system. Does Magelan transfer the voice on skype to the car handsfree or to the car-kit’s speaker? What about radio/music-does it transfer it from the iphone to the car’s sonorization system?
Yes, the Magellan Car Kit works with the Navigon app. Cheers.
