Brad Jensen returns to help Tim critique the Magellan RoadMate 2230T-LM portable GPS. This completes our series on portable GPS for the car and provides a fascinating look at how three manufacturers have designed similar solutions. The strenghts of the Magellan include* Text entry is spoken by the unit to confirm input* Dynamic rerouting around traffic problems works well* Effective use of corners for touch points* 4.3 inch size is not ungainly as the 5 inch Garmin wasUsability problems with the RoadMate could be summed up as bad color choices in the UI. The garish display and the difficult to read road names, plus general clutter that is unnecessary to help the user, are unfortunate negatives.The update software is also poorly designed and confusing to use.Melissa Smith joins us for another Human Factors News Desk segment.

GeoGearHeads; The weekly show for Geocaching and Location-Based Gaming
Listen to our interview with condor1 of Colorado Springs. He's using a combination of the Garmin eTrex and the Magellan Roadmate to get him to the caches. His favorite location to cache was the Colorado Paint Mines but he dreams of caching Mount Diablo in California. His favorite hide was one he worked on with his sister (kayebear40s) with some create code on its home page. That cache -- Big Springs 1st Mystery Cache (GC1MFQ0) -- receives many good comments from its finders. As for music, he enjoys Kiss and ZZ Top. As for television, his favorite series was Star Trek: The Original Series.Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener NevadaWolf:"Talk to new cachers; at events, on the trail, or through email. Remember how confusing things were for you in the beginning and offer to help, go caching together, or simply to sit down and chat. Many new cachers will appreciate knowing someone they can talk to and may help them at events or gatherings if they have a friend they know who is also there."Cache-A-Maniacs Discovery Coin: TB23G4HShow Sponsor: Geocache RadioContent Rating: NormalDate Recorded: May 23, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4
