 Magellan will never get you lost. January 12, 2008
we first tried magellan gps in Scotland and Ireland in a rental car...we explored the countryside and never got lost....if we verved off the highway route it just brought us back on track...love the large screen, 4.2or3, so I purchased the magellan for my husband's birthday in January and received it and carrying case on time....love Amazon for all our purchases as it arrives on time and are easily reached via phone if a question or problem....our friends tried Tom Tom and Garman gps and seem to have more problems to our none.....

I bought this GPS before a trip to Ft. Lauderdale from my new home in Athens, GA. I received it the day before the trip, so I didn't have much time to read the directions, other than how to charge the batteries. It was fairly easy to use, however, and made the trip much more enjoyable. I did, however, have two situations crop up, one in each direction, which were peculiar. The unit written instructions under the map were correct, yet the verbal instructions were incorrect at two major route changes. If you're following the verbal instructions, you find out you've gone the wrong way when the next verbal instruction you hear is "recalculating route". This was a bit annoying as it caught me the first time and I had to drive 15 miles before I could turn around. All in all it's pretty effective, but I would caution users that it's not 100% perfect.
Magellan Maestro 4000 - Seems to be a great device. January 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have only been using this device for a few days, but have read the manual inside out and tested all the bells and whistles. I even did an update from the wesbite. That was the worst part yet. lol
So far - the device on right on target, and has proved seperior accuracy in showing me shortcuts that I would have never known. So far I am very impressed. As I said - the most difficult thing for me thus far was getting the update into the unit, but it finally did work. The other thing I am slightly confused about is the reasoning behind the SD/MMS card. When I was looking over instructions for the update - it said make sure you back up your address book to an SD card or the address book would have been erased. I went out and purchased card and backed up my address book as instructed...other than that - I am not sure I see a reason to even have a card in the unit. I know you are supposed to use it for some special features with POI, but when I put the CD in to check it out - I was totally at a loss for understanding ANYTHING. :(
If anyone can help - feel free to email me some advise here lbird64@comcast.net
So - all in all - I give this unit 4 stars for doing a great job with directions, shortcuts, and re-routing me when I want to go another way. I do not mind it not speaking street names in particular, and actually prefer the thing to talk less. It's distracting to have another "person" taking in the car with a 4 yr old in the back seat. I'd definitely rather be able to read it in large text right on the screen. Magellan was on the money there.
One note about the customer service - as I did see some negative comments about that. I called an 800# and they were pretty nice, but not SUPER helpful. I was getting an error with the downloading of the update, and the first guy said, "keep trying - your not getting the whole file...shut down your pc and start over", and basically rushed me off the line. The second time - the guy said that Magellan was updating the website, and I should try the download again Saturday...????? (This call was made today - on Thursday). Well.......I tried when I got home from work - on my own pc - and it was perfect and super fast. The site did appear to have a different design, so I believe the 2nd guy was telling the truth.
Recommended! Cool if you have AAA - get a free year warranty!
Magellan Maestro 4000 December 29, 2007
I have only used the Maestro for a few trips, but am extremely impressed with the accuracy and ease of use. The maneuver warnings work very well, with the final turn chime typically 50 feet or so from the turn. Re-calculation of routes was fast and accurate. As a member of AAA, I particularly like the discount and emergency listing features.

The Magellan Maestro 4000 is an execellent GPS. It is very accurate with the directions it provide. I recommended this product very highly.
