Magellan has announced a new addition to its RoadMate Commercial GPS family for truckers and commercial drivers providing improved safety and productivity before, during, and after on-the-road trips.

The compliance-ready RoadMate Commercial 9270T-LM GPS device is designed for truckers and includes an extra-large GPS display, customizable truck-specific routing, hands-free communication, and trip logging.

To prepare for trips, truck drivers can use the RoadMate Commercial 9270T-LM to set up customizable routes based on the height, weight, width, and length of the vehicle, as well as applicable hazmat restrictions. Multi-destination routing allows drivers to plan stops and optimize routes.

While on the road, the RoadMate Commercial 9270T-LM helps drivers navigate on a 7-inch-wide high-definition touch screen display that adjusts color and contrast for night-viewing. The display also makes maps and other content easy to read when the GPS Navigator is mounted in large vehicles with deep dashboards. Integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, when paired with a compatible Bluetooth phone, enables drivers to safely talk hands-free while watching the road.

At the end of a trip, the RoadMate Commercial 9270T-LM facilitates preparing compliance reports including hours and state mileage for IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) records. A log of trip information by each driver is retained in the Magellan GPS device for exporting into reports.

The RoadMate Commercial GPS family now includes two models—the new 7-inch RoadMate Commercial 9270T-LM and the 5-inch RoadMate Commercial 5190T. Both models are available at truckstops and through Magellan’s consumer electronics and online partners.
