Magellan's Free Lifetime Traffic Feature feeds continual updates of traffic conditions in traffic - congested North American cities directly to the GPS unit. The driver is provided with an accurate estimate of travel times factoring in distance and traffic, as well as suggestions for less - congested alternative routes. Preloaded with maps of the 50 United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and more than 6 million points of interest locations, all Magellan 2011 RoadMate models features exclusive rich content from the most trusted name in driver safety, AAA. The built - in AAA TourBook guide with Diamond ratings and descriptions for US and Canada provides highly detailed information about hotels, restaurants local attractions, and a guide to merchants offering member discounts. A special AAA roadside assistance feature gives you your exact location with a touch of a button, and for AAA members, provides the phone number so you can get the roadside help you need quickly and easily.

"We developed our large - screen navigation devices to help people get more information they need at a quick glance. Between our high - definition widescreens, our hands - free calling features, the quality of the AAA TourBook content and assurance of roadside assistance for its members, our RoadMate devices not only navigate drivers to their destinations, they make each journey safer," said Mike Wagner, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Magellan.
Magellan RoadMate 9055-LM extension mount
The RoadMate 9055-LM comes with a specialized heavy - duty Extension Mount that brings the GPS navigator up close and personal. With three points of articulation and an extra 12 inches of extension, no cab is too large to maneuver the display within easy reach. The specialized multi - surface mounting pad will also stick directly to vinyl dashboards, safely securing the device and avoiding the long reach to the windshield. Drivers in smaller vehicles will appreciate the ability to adjust the mount to bring the Magellan RoadMate 9055-LM GPS below dash level so that windshield space is not taken up.
