Magellan RoadMate North America app for iPhone and iPad

The Magellan RoadMate North America gives you the SmartGPS experience including maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico onboard your cell phone! This means you won’t lose GPS navigation even when you lose cell reception.

This app is designed to be a navigation device combined with a powerful search tool. Search within a robust Point Of Interest library in addition to the Yelp and Foursquare venues. Select your destination using these methods and either navigate on foot with your iPhone or wirelessly send your destination to the Magellan SmartGPS navigator to drive to your selection. You have the choice of using which navigation tool is right for the job!

SmartGPS features include:
• Information Squares – innovative interface makes selections easy to access with features presented in squares. Get Yelp locations, Foursquare locations, Navigation, and Traffic events all on one control panel.
