While there have been a few devices released in five-inch and six-inch range, we expect more XL sized GPS devices to come out this fall. It looks like Magellan is coming with it’s super-sized GPS soon. Named as Magellan RoadMate 1700, this GPS will be available at a few retailers including Best Buy.
