Overall experience with this GPS is Good.
I bought the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM GPS out of nasessity because my old Magellan Maestro 4370 had died on me when I was on my way to pick up a large settlement for the law firm I work for and God forbidd, gotten lost. I also bought it for the free life time Maps. My problem I mostly incounter with Gps's I've owned was that after a while the model is replaced by a better model and the company that producese it no longer provide map updates for it. And where I live, new streets, roads, on/off ramps,highways are always the norm.What I like most about The Magellan RoadMate 5045 is it size. I don't have to sqint like I had with my older and smaller (4.3inch)Gps unit.What I dislike about the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM GPS that stands out is the pointer that's on the display, ya' know, the one blue pointer that represents your car in it's relative position on the map. The pointer seems too large for me to the extent that the road you are comming up on to make a turn seems it's still a little ways up until you pass it.For ME I wont buy it again simply because of the above mentioned dislike which is really nothing once you get use to it and because it doesn't have the extra features such as blue-tooth phone, mp3 player and the like, like my other older decommissioned Magellan Maesto 4370. But for ANYONE who wants a good better that adverage gps unit with Life time map upgrades then, The Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM Automotive GPS Receiver is your best bet!

Magellan RoadMate 5045
While the standard screen size for GPS navigation devices is 4.3 inches (diagonal), a number of devices now have larger screens. Magellan launched a limited number of devices with 4.7-inch screens last year and expanded the number of different RoadMate 4.7-inch devices to seven, including the RoadMate 3065. But for my driving, I prefer a GPS unit with a 5.0-inch (dia.) screen. The new RoadMate 5045 series features such a 5.0-inch screen and most, but not all, of the features needed to make it an ideal navigation companion.

Magellan Roadmate 5045-lm User Manual
The current trend in GPS marketing is for a manufacturer to create a base model, and to populate the product line with slight variations on the base model. The base RoadMate 5045 includes lifetime subscription-free, advertising-supported traffic alerts and sells for a list price of $220. Although TomTom's similarly-featured 5.0-inch XXL 550-T, which also includes lifetime traffic, sells for a $10 premium over the RoadMate 5045, the base model XXL 550 that lacks traffic is $20 cheaper. The top-of-the-line RoadMate 5045-LM has a list price of $250 and is $10 cheaper than the corresponding TomTom XXL 550-TM. Both of the top-end models include lifetime live traffic and map updates.
The RoadMate 5045 shares the same user interface and feature set as virtually all other RoadMate products except entry-level models. Navteq maps for the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico are included. You can purchase maps for Mexico, but if Mexican maps are important to you, the TomTom XL and XXL products include them. The 5045 lacks a Bluetooth interface found on some of the more expensive RoadMates as well as the soon-to-be discontinued Maestro products, but from my experience with Bluetooth on the 3065, that's okay. Since Bluetooth didn't work too well on the 3065, the 5045 actually earns an additional 1/2 star for not having a flakey feature.
All of the newer Magellan RoadMates, including the 5045, have a 'One Touch' interface that lets you easily navigate to a saved favorite or search. You could, for example, save a search for the nearest McDonald's, and wherever you are, a single tap will bring up a list of nearby 'Mickey Ds'. Other features unique to Magellan products include the AAA Tourbook, highway-exit POI search, and the ability to compare four routing options when calculating a new route. The 5045 also includes multisegment routing as well as highway-lane assist--features included on similar competing products, as well.
While the size difference between a 4.3-inch screen and a 5.0-inch screen may not seem very large, if you do the math, the 5.0-inch screen has a whopping 34 percent more screen area. Although the 5045 has the same 480-by-272-pixel screen resolution as most 4.3-inch devices, the additional screen real estate allows you to zoom out one or two levels, and the content on the screen is still visible. To me, that translates into a better navigation experience. The routes calculated by the 5045 were, as you'd expect, identical to those calculated on the 3065. I did note, however, that once during navigation, the 5045 rebooted to 'optimize for better performance.' Fortunately, I was between highway maneuvers, and the device rebooted before I came to my next turn. Still, I don't expect that the device that I'm depending on for directions will reboot--possibly when I need it the most.
