Customer Support non-existent |
I have sent 5 emails over a 2 week period to Magellan customer support. I have received 5 replies - all auto-reponses telling me that the request has been forwarded. I can't guess where they sent the emails as I am still waiting for a reply from their support staff.
Do NOT buy this product
