Update on things I have missed in my review below
I am adding this information for folks who would like to compare this to higher priced models of Magellan Roadmate.
- Magellan Roadmate 360 has voice alerts. ( It does not have voice command like some of the built-in systems have)
- It has a touch-screen interface handy when you need to interact.
- The Points of Interest database is limited. It does seem to have all major stuff (like Malls, attractions up-to-date) but is not a comprehensive list for everything else. I tried looking up the nearest Costco from my home but it was not able to find. It was able to find nearest Albertsons.
- The update capability for Magellan Roadmate 360 only seems to be at the firmware level. I cannot tell whether that includes the database in the map.

It seems to refer to the map as well. I plugged the device directly into my Mac and browsed it as a drive, and there is map data (admittedly opaque) as well as firmware information.
Too bad there are no updates yet. Based on my touring in So Cal I figure the information is approximately 8-10 months old, as there are some new road constructions that are not yet in the database.
This summer I will be taking it on a 7500+ mile road trek, so this ought to be a good stress test.
