Hi,
Magellan withdrew from European PND market, but have partnered with Mio (http://eu.mio.com) to offer a trade in towards a new Mio device.
Give them a call and see what they have available ;)

go to magellan web site where they will offer to send you a SD card with new maps for a fee$$$. software updates are free.

To update your magellan roadmate is very simple. But take note, there are two (2) types of updates:

1. Software update, which are free.
2. Maps update, but you have to purchase them.

Either ways you will get both updates from the support link from th magellan website. For software update:

1. first go to the website, www.magellangps.com,
2. Place the cursor on the support link and a list will pop out,
3. From the list select manuals and softwares,
4. Select the manuals and software link that is on the page,
5. You select the vehicle navigation form the list,
6. Once you select the type some other pages come up then you select the road mate,
7. Once you select the road mate, a list comes up, then you select the road mate 1412,
8. Then the download link will pop up, then you click on the link to download it.
9. Once you download it, connect your gps to the computer, then you update it from there.

Sometimes, the moment you have the magellan roadmate software on your computer, as soon as there is a latest update, it will notify you to download it for your gps update.
To update a map,

1. You purchase the maps once they are available from magellan website,
2. go to the website as stated above,
3. place the cursor on the maps ans a list will come out,
4. Select either vehicle navigation maps or outdoor maps depending on what you want to update,
5. Then you select the product type and the product model
6. A page will pop up with the latest map for you to download.
7. Then you add to cart.

That way your maps will be updated.
I hope this information helped.

There are no free maps update for the magellan roadmate 1412 car gps receiver. The only maps you can get are sold at cheap rates. The maps go for about $50. Anyone that says they can find you free maps online are just going to be toying with you.

Go to Magellan site. They have the maps for sale on there site, plus you can purchase the unlock code from them

necesito actualizar mi magellan rod mate 1212,pero no tengo dinero,que puedo hacer

My Magellan 1412 has a black piece of tape on the bottom. The SD card is behind this tape.

According to Magellan at their website, a new map update will be available next month (sometime). There is a firmware update there now.  The firmware update works fine if you follow their instructions.....full battery charge etc.

Hello,
I was looking for a USB cable to use to update the firmware and did not see any particular specifications for the usb cable. I decided to
use the USB cable that I purchased for my motorola v3 along with the phone tools software. When I plugged it in the 1412 sat on a screen waiting for the PC application for updating maps or software which I had not installed yet. I found that the 1412 was actually taking a charge from the motorola phone tools kit. ALSO with a few repeated attempts on my XP PC I was able to access the files on the 1412 from 2 drives that it set up on my PC just like a USB stick. One drive was a virtual CD drive and the other was just like a
usb flash drive. So I backed up the software to my PC. I have not done any hacking yet but I bet there are some ways to do this.
