what is warranty on a used Magellan Roadmate 9055?
2003766
I don't know what the warranty is, but I can tell you I probably had 6 of the Roadmate 9055s in a year. The battery is NOT big enough to run the darn thing, even with it plugged it. My husband did some research and found a better battery, and the 6th one has worked fine. The product is NOT being made any more, so I don't think there is a replacement, even if it did go out under warranty. Other than that, I think it works great, and I love the size & set up.

if you look at the Magellan online shop you will see that THEIR refurbished 9055 has a limited 3 month warranty. I don't know whether the original warranty is transferrable. HOWEVER, Amazon does have some really good after market warranties at reasonable costs which may be applicable. Compare the total expenses between new, used, and refurbished. FYI I consider the unit to be exceptional. 10 of my associates agree and have also purchased the same unit. It is MUCH better and more correct than what came in my brand new vehicle. Better yet it has a much larger, clearer, and readable screen. Good luck.

sorry cannot help. I gave away my Magellan roadmate several months ago. found that the only reliable component was the backup camera which worked most of the time. If you try to get the answer from techsupt I hope you have better luck than I did

Did your GPS come with lifetime updates? If not, you may have to contact Magellan Customer Service to see if you can return it to be updated. Search GPS models and find one with lifetime updates and you will never have to worry about this topic again. My GPS unit gets 4 free updates a year. An update could cost you around $200.

Garmin has a one year warranty. If yor unit isn't working correctly you call or email Garmin customer service. If they can fix it theft will issue an RMA and you ship the unit to Garmin for repair or replacement. Good place to look at the full warranty is www.garmin.com

I just wrote to Garmin and asked if there was any sort of extra warrantee on the battery, and they wrote back..."Thank you for contacting Garmin International. I am unaware of any typeof "Super Warranty" on our batteries. Our units are covered for 1 year however the battery is designed to last 5-7 years depending on usage. "I would ordinarily consider this to be unacceptable, but actually I'm not too uncomfortable with this, because the unit will still work in a car even with a trashed battery.-dk

No warranty that I know of. Just directions. Call Amazon if you have a problem as they may be able to help you.

I reviewed the Roadmate 2255T-LMB that I purchased. I am not selling anything and I don't know how they got my review mixed in with some other model.

How does one become a part of the class action lawsuit ? I received a new Magellan Maestro 4000 as a gift at Christmas, 2007, and a month ago it quit. I can't even get them to tell me how to send it in for warranty work. And after reading the "horror stories" at the Branding Blog at: http://www.brandidentityguru.com/wordpress/?p=207 - I don't know that I want to take a chance in sending it in and losing the unit forever. Any suggestions ?Bill WhitworthNew Boston, Michiganwhit@whitworth.com(734) 654-6411

I had that problem....spent a while day on the phone with a tech fron Magellan and ended up finding out the unit was faulty right out of the brand new box. Returned it and bought a Garmin Oregon and never looked back

yes there is a two year warranty - I sent mine back and they gave me another one and so far so good. just wish I would have realized there was a problem when I only got 6 weeks of battery life - wasn't until it got down to 6 days of life I realized it was a big problem. I would talk to them at bushnell - don't think they sell tour 2 anymore - think it's tour 3 now...ask about battery problem

You really need to research the company you buy the warranty from. I bought a warranty on my laptop from CC and it paid for itself. I also bought a warranty from magnolia for my GPS unit and it too more than paid for itself. But if the company offering the warranty isn't legit or buries you in fine print then it's buyer beware...

I don't really know. I use Windows 7. But you can really find out by calling Magellan Tech Support at 1-800-707-9971. This particular unit, I really love. I hope this answer is helpful to you.

I bought this unit and had the same problem with the unit repeatedly crashing. Never worked consistently so I returned it to Amazon for a refund.I checked the Magellan website and no firmware update that I can find.

I have the Magellan 4250 for a few years now and have never had a problem with their customer services. They have always been prompt, and courteous and took care of my problem or answered my questions whatever the case may be. Previously had the 3250 and no problems then either. Give them another try.
