Best parking is another great feature; it makes parking in the city a much easier affair. Best parking provides parking garage locations with both their hours of operation and the entrance location. Choose the garage that is open as well as close to your destination. Once you have selected a garage you are guided directly to the entrance. No more searching for how to get in!. Magellan's bluetooth safetexting has taken advantage of a capability found in many feature phones (sometimes referred to as "flip-phones") which allows texting control over a bluetooth connection. This allows a magellan feature known as safetexting which gives the driver the ability to respond to an incoming call or text with a pre-written text message informing the caller that the driver will call back when it is safe. The return texts, which are sent in a couple of button presses, may include location and eta information automatically inserted by the gps device. The integrated aaa tourbook gives you detailed information on hotels, restaurants and attractions so that you have the information you need to make your destination decisions. And what happens if you break down out on the road? On the special "where am i?" screen you'll not only have your present location given in terms that a tow truck driver can understand, but you'll also have the aaa phone number listed and a place for you to enter in your aaa membership number. No more digging through your wallet or glove compartment!. The roadmate navigation experience is both intuitive and robust.
