 Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator July 9, 2008

Magnificent. Don't know what I ever did without it. So easy to use, install, transport and even walk with. Customer support is easy to access and answers all your questions quickly. I would definitely purchase another and recommend to friends.

This is a good GPS, and it was a great deal too. I'm happy there; it gets me where I need to go. However, the voice isn't as clear as other GPS units and doesn't chime in as early before a turn as I would like. The faster you drive the earlier the voice should tell you to turn I think and this one doesn't do that. If I'm not paying attention I really have to put the breaks on. But maybe that's just me. All and all as a GPS it's good and worth your money.
It has all your AAA stores listened and you can even search by them. I love this a lot!
The extra features are where it loses a star for me. It has a voice feature where you can simply say "Go Home" or "ATM" and it should direct you. However, I often have to scream it out more than once just to get it to acknowledge that I'm saying something. A screen then appears with a lits of commands it will respond to. I love the one that says "Where Am I" the most because it makes it easy to save and get a list of locations for easy clicking later. The problem is I have to yell it one or two more times to get it to work. I usually don't bother and just click the command instead.
The Where Am I command is a great feature for a GPS to have and it should have been put on the front screen of all units! An error all GPS's seem to have is confusing postal addresses with the city addresses. The Post office might have a place listed in one city or under a different street then the building itself has posted on there mail box. I find this comes up A LOT with all GPS units! Also some streets have different names to them, some even change there name half way through a town. RT 40 is also known has US40, or So and So street but eventually turns into Hamster road for some reason. When you finally find your mystery address you can simply say Where Am I and save it and never have to put up with the rat maze again!
To conclude, I love the where am I thing. But it's a shame I have to scream it out 4 times for it to respond.

Great product. Very detailed and somewhat easy to use. My only issue is that there are many detailed features on the unit and the instructions for use are VERY vague. I don't mind because I like to explore, but for my wife, it drove her crazy trying to figure out using it.

When a manufacturer tells a customer that an item being purchased is capable of performing a certain task, that item should be able to perform that task. When told that this item had complete maps of North America, I took that statement to mean that the item would contain maps of the ENTIRE North American continent, which includes Canada, the United States, and Mexico. This GPS unit did not contain maps of Mexico, which is part of Norrh America. Not only did it not contain maps of Mexico, there were none available or compatible with this unit. Therefore the unit has been returned to the source, and I am awaiting word of its receipt and for credit to be remitted to my credit card.

AFTER READING ALL THE REVIEWS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH ALLMOST EVERYONE GOOD AND BAD. REASON FOR BAD IS FIRST I BOUGHT A MAGELLAN 5310. LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AT FIRST THEN EVERY THING WENT BAD. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECOUSE IT LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT WORK. GLAD I DID THE 4250 COST LESS AND HAS VOICE COMMAND AND BLUETOOTH.
THATS WHEN I SPENT DAYS READING REVIEWS, REALIZED THEY ALL HAVE THERE PROBLEMS AND FOR THE PRICE,OPTIONS AND POI I STILL REALLY LIKED THE MAGELLAN AND THE 4250 SEEMED LIKE THE ONE. SO I RISK IT AND ORDERED ONE.
REALLY GLAD I DID THIS ONE HAS WORKED PRETTY MUCH FLAWLESSLY.
I STAYED AWAY FROM TOM TOM BECOUSE SEVERAL FRIENDS TOLD ME IT HAS BAD MAPS,THE ASSOCIATE AT THE STORE AND THE REVIEWS ALL AGREAD. HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT GARMIN BUT NOTHING TO CONVINCE ME TO PAY MORE THAN I DID FOR MY MAGELLAN.
THE 4250 ROUTES AND REROUTES QUICKLY. THE POI IS ALLMOST A GOOD AS THE YELLOW PAGES IT HAS EVERY THING YOU COULD NEED,AND ONE CLICK ROUTES YOU THERE. PLAN ALL YOUR DESTINATIONS FOR A DAY IN A FOLDER AND GO TO IT AND JUST SELECT THE NEXT DESTINATION IN ANY ORDER AND IT ROUTES YOU. ADDRESS BOOK WORKS GREAT TO, SELECT TO ROUTE OR IF YOUVE ENTERED A PHONE NUMNBER JUST TOUCH IT AND THE BLUETOOTH CALLS FOR YOU.
THE SCREENS A GOOD SIZE. VOLUME IS GOOD EASY TO HEAR SOME REVIEWS SAID HARD TO HEAR OVER THE RADIO, WELL IF YOU WANT A LOAD RADIO YOUR NOT GOING TO HEAR IT DUH, WARNS YOU IN PLENTY OF TIME TO GET OVER FOR AN EXIT OR TELLS YOU THE ENTRANCE IS ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT, IF ITS A QUICK TURN IT TELLS YOU FOR EXAMPLE TURN LEFT WITH AN IMEDIATE RIGHT TURN SO YOU GET THE RIGHT LANE. THE TOUCH SCREEN WORKS PRETTY GOOD, IT WORKS BETTER WITH A PEN. THE VOICE COMMAND WORKS ALSO PRETTY GOOD TO. YOU DO NEED TO REPEAT COMMAND A COUPLE OF TIMES,AGAIN ITS NOT PERFECT BUT IT DOES WORK WELL. MY BLUETOOTH IS EASY TO CONNECT NOW THAT I DOWNLOADED THE NEWEST FIRMWARE 4.6 THAT JUST CAME OUT. WHICH I DOWNLOADED 7/9/08
THE MANUAL REALLY IS LOUSY YOU MUST MUST MUST PLAY WITH IT AND TOUCH EVERY ICON BUTTON ECT TO FIND OUT ALL IT WILL DO.
THIS ONE HAS NOT FROZEN UP AND NEVER HAD TO RESET IT.
COMES WITH THE HOUSE CHARGER CAR CHARGER AND USB CABLE, ALSO THE SUCTION CUP,I PURCHASED THE BEAN BAG WORKS GREAT. I HAVE HEARD FROM EVERYONE DONT LEAVE ANY EVEDENCE IN THE CAR OF A GPS OR IT WILL BE BROKEN INTO.
I AM GLAD THAT I BOUGHT THE 4250. I WOULD GLADLY RECOMMEND IT.
