The new 1400 series RoadMate models use a larger 4.3-inch widescreen touchscreen with three new models varying in features and price from $299 at the low end up to $399 with all the bells and whistles.

All the new models feature the widescreen view, 3D mapping, trip planner, QuickSpell for fast entering of addresses and an SD card slot for maps. The 1400, which is the $299 base model comes with maps of the continental US, Hawaii and Puerto Rico along with points of interest. Moving up to the RoadMate 1412, Magellan tacks on text-to-speech, maps of Canada and Alaska and another $150 to the price of the 1400.

The RoadMate 1430 has all the aforementioned features along with the fully-integrated live traffic which can adjust your estimated drive time and provide re-routing suggestions based on real-time traffic. The live traffic of course requires a subscription fee but Magellan will let you get a taste of it for three months with the initial purchase of $399.
