4 out of 5 stars RoadTrip 2008 ... a success!!!   June 25, 2008
Magellan Maestro got us where we wanted to go ... and found accomodations along the way. What more could I ask for?

5 out of 5 stars Can't Go Wrong With This One   June 17, 2008
After much research, I found this unit to be superior to the TomTom Edition 3, which was my other option. My friend has the TomTom and the Maestro 3140 is a better choice. I especially like the way it automatically re-routes, without having to touch the screen, unlike the TomTom. The text to speech was a big factor in my decision to purchase this unit. I found the GPS especially useful during my travels, and I take it with me on vacation.

The 3140 flawlessly navigated me around San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and more recently Miami. The unit seemed confused routing us from the airport to Ocean Boulevard in Miami, but it wasn't anything that the auto re-router couldn't handle.

I would definitely recommend this, especially if directions aren't your stronghold, as is the case with me. Before, I was hesitant to venture out past where I was familiar, but the Magellan has totally liberated me! As I said, I was all over San Francisco, L.A. and Miami and felt confident. I'm going to New York next month and will be driving (with the 3140) instead of taking the train.

If it can take me around N.Y.C. without me plunging over the G.W.B, I'll know it was money well spent!

Will never leave home without her. Yes she has a personality. Her name is Ellen Megellan and she is great. Easy to use and flawless in her directions.


3 out of 5 stars Ok if you want simple   June 9, 2008
I bought this for my 75 year old Grandfather for Christmas. 6 months later and several thousand miles driven he is still raving about it. We bought this unit for him because it had the best reviews with the least amount of "bells and whistles" that can become confusing to a novice electronics operator. He still doesn't know how to use most of the options but likes that it works with little effort and is very accurate.

Bad Things:
It does not come with a wall charger. He left it on charge in his car overnight and it drained his car battery. Wall chargers are not readily available unless you order direct from Magellan for $20 plus shipping or get an iGO charger which works with any device but you have to keep track of different "tips" for each device.
The mount is cumbersome at best and comes with a sticker that you have to permanently stick to your car to make a smooth surface for the mount. Even then, the mount does not always stay stuck. My Grandfather was less than trilled with the idea of a sticker on his car so he rests it on an open compartment door in his center console.

I recommend the unit if it fits your needs and your budget. However, I own a Garmin Nuvi and wouldn't trade it for anything.
