When it comes to GPS navigation, buyers are looking for bargains, and three new Magellan devices aim clearly for the frugal shopper. They deliver premium features previously found in higher-priced models and catch up to navigation aids offered by the competition.

The RoadMate 1470 has a huge 4.7-inch display and lists for $249, the RoadMate 1440 has a still large 4.3-inch display and lists for $199, while the RoadMate 1340 has a standard 3.5-inch display and lists for $179.

All three offer lane assistance, to help drivers anticipate turns and get in the right lane ahead of time. Lane assistance, pioneered in Navigon GPS navigators, has quickly become a must-have feature. All three also offer AAA tour book information and Magellan's OneTouch interface for finding favorites quickly. You can also use them to search for locations around an exit and they all speak upcoming turns and street names.
