Magellan RoadMate 1445T 4.3-Inch Widescreen GPS Navigator with Traffic Link Receiver Review

Good thing Amazon provides a 30 day return policy. I bought this unit because I had great experiences with my 5 year old subscription based Magellan GPS.But right out of the box the Traffic Link did not work.I called Magellan's tech support to figure out the problem.After 90 minutes of trying to explain to someone across the globe that traffic coverage should be pretty solid in Los Angeles and I was getting no signal - only the message "acquiring signal" they agreed to replace the Traffic Link.About a week later it showed up via FedEx Ground.Once again, excited I plugged the unit in and headed for a 200 mile day trip in LA.NOT ONCE did it ever acquire the signal. I called Magellan and once again spoke to someone across the globe who apparently never heard of Los Angeles or the awful traffic here.They kicked me around for another 90 minutes to arrive at a supervisor who said I had two options - send it in to Magellan for repair - at my cost - or return it to the retailer I bought it from.
If the Traffic Link would have worked with either adapter I would have kept the unit.It's boxed and ready for drop off to return to Amazon.
Be very careful.If it doesn't work out of the box then return it immediately to Amazon.Do NOT mess with Magellan. I wasted 2.5 weeks of waiting and 3 hours on the phone with them. Don't you have better things to do?
