Slowly but surely all the products displayed at the CES in January are making over to the manufacturer’s websites. The RoadMate 1400 series of GPS navigators by Magellan was much appreciated back in January and finally, the top of the line product in this series, RoadMate 1430, has made its appearance on the manufacturer’s website. If you’re fed up with the traffic scenario in North America, then RoadMate 1430 is just what the doc ordered for you. Unlike some of the other models in this series, this one’s got the Live Traffic capability. Flaunting a brilliant 4.3” wide-touch-screen display, RoadMate 1430 features maps by Navteq and the traffic update features can be used for free for initial three months. Over 6 million points of interest saved in and a handy text-to-speech guarantees precise instructions all the while. This GPS device is also ultra thin, making it all the more useful while traveling. The battery lasts for about 3 hrs and there’s an Auto Night View that adjusts the device’s display for night. Measuring 4.57″ W x 3.27″ H x 0.73″ D, RoadMate 1430 weighs in at 200g. There is SD card compatibility in the device and it describes location to within 3 to 5 meters of actual one. If you’re looking to tackle USA, Canada or Puerto Rico head on, you can buy it for $400.
