The RoadMate 3065 Commuter is the flagship model of Magellan's 2010 line of GPS navigators. With its RDS traffic receiver with free lifetime traffic updates and Bluetooth hands-free speakerphone, it's already one of the most fully featured units in Magellan's current lineup.

However, the 3065 truly distinguishes itself from the rest of the line--and from any other GPS device we've tested--with its Traffic Wakeup feature. Once set, the RoadMate 3065 will attempt to capture a more complete snapshot of the traffic on your morning and afternoon commutes by booting itself ahead of time to download its data.
