Amazon.com Product Description -- November 13, 2007
We've been big fans of Magellan's Maestro line since it came out in early 2006. The Maestro interface is incredibly easy to use, even for those who are not completely comfortable with electronics. At the same time, Magellan was ahead of the industry with useful innovations like multi-destination routing and pre-loaded reviews for points of interest like hotels and restaurants (from AAA). With it's 3200 and 4200 series, Magellan has improved the Maestro line giving them a SirfStar III chipset that provides super-fast. satellite lock and making them thinner. In fact, at .7 inches, these are -- at the time of this writing (November 2007), the thinnest portable GPS navigators available.
Distingushing between models is also fairly easy. The 3200-series navigators feature a 3.5-inch screen, while the 4200s have a 4.3-inch widescreen display. The 3200 and 4200 offer great, basic navigation with turn-by-turn spoken directions, pre-loade maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and 1.3 million POIs. The 3210 and 4210, add maps for Canada and Alaska, AAA travel information (see details below) and bump you up to 6 million POIs. The 3220 and 4220 add maps of Mexico. The top-of-the-line 3250 and 4250 add a host of other features, including text-to-speech directions that give real street names, bluetooth for hands-free phone calls, integrated traffic (with a free 3-month subscription), and voice command.
What Makes the Maestro 3200 Exceptional?

 Tinny speaker, annoying lady voice, pixel-y looking map, often confused about where I am July 16, 2008
I used a Nuvi 260 for a few days before it got some bug in it so when returning it I decied to try the Magellan 3200.
Compared to the Garmin I had just returned, I hated this GPS. It has a tinny speaker which sounds cheap and is so high treble that it's hard to understand if your windows are down. The annoying lady voice got to me, she sounds like a 40 year old smoker bar maid. lol
The map display is cheap looking, like the type of resolution I saw in old windows video games. The roads aren't drawn smoothly, they look like vector graphics, which are a series of straight lines to make a curve instead of drwing a curve.
But the worst part is that it's often confused about where I am or which way I'm facing; if I miss an off ramp, it takes a while for it to notice. And sometimes it thought I was facing the opposite way than I actually was, sometimes it thinks I'm on a different street adn it will go wacky in circles until it figures out where I am.
It doesn't have as many points of interest, which are sooo valuable.
And its bigger and bulkier than the nuvi.
Finally, I really don't like the way that the miles to your next turn is a tiny number at the bottom, I refer to that often. Oh and the cigarette lighter plug has an annoying bright blue light on it that distacts me at night with it's brightness.
What I do like is that it tells you what road you are on all the time. And it lets you enter addresses with zip code or city, where as the nuvi doesn't. It does seem to pick good routes to places
Bottom line, try a gps before you buy it -- only by using it for one night will you realize you can't stand anything about it and want your old one back!
 Better than nothing July 12, 2008
My old car ('04 Honda) had DVD-based routing system. New corporate vehicle does not. While this thing is certainly better than having to print out directions every time I travel, it is still quirky. Many times, when turned on, it shows me in my driveway...even if I'm 200 miles away from home. After a few minutes, it seems to reorient itself. Has gone into a "recalculating route" loop a couple times, too. Like I said, better than nothing.
 Great Navigation Unit July 2, 2008
I recceived the Magellan Maestro 3200 for Father's Day and it was the best gift. This unit is easy to use and simple. I would highly recommend it. My wife did a lot of research on GPS systems and this one suited our needs.
perfect for my need July 1, 2008

Great invention fun and easy to use. The kids enjoy looking at the map and hearing the directions. Makes driving somewhere new less stressful. Word of advice, keep a map on hand. If the areas you are in are newly built (roads, communities, etc.) the GPS will not identify and go blank screen telling you to go back to the last point. The text to speech feature is wonderful. Your eyes stay on the road while your ears hear the clear instructions. Very happy I made the purchase.
