Design The RoadMate 1470 doesn't deviate from the tried and true portable navigation device form factor. Measuring 3.3 inches by 5.2 inches by 7 inches, the RoadMate's thinness easily makes this unit one of the most pocketable devices in its class. Like nearly all PNDs, the majority of the RoadMate's...
