 It Does the Job, But....... May 7, 2008

A friend owns this model and I had the opportunity to see it in operation. I was impressed. I researched other models with the 4.3 inch screen, and thought them reasonably similar. When I saw the great price, I couldnt resist. My only criticisms are that there appears to be no ability to swap US maps for Europe maps, and more importantly that the US maps are out of date. They claim to be from 2006, but that probably means much data was updated prior to 2005. As a result, for instance, a recent trip found us getting off the express lanes on I271 near Cleveland as directed, only to follow the express lanes in the "local" lanes for the next 20 or so miles! A map update is promied for "early 2008", but it hasn't appeared as of May.

Very pleased with the product. The touch screen did freeze in the first couple days of use, but holding the power button for 10 seconds to reset the settings fixed it.

Magellan Maestro 4000 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
The box comes with nearly all you will need - except a well written manual. However, much of the operation is intuitive and once I figured out how to save addresses to the address list (you have to ask for a route to that address) everything went very smooth. I am quite pleased with my purchase.
I'd recommend this to any of my friends unless they were going to use it strictly as a "portable" for hiking - it's a little large for that.
Maestro 4000 May 2, 2008
Great price for a simple to use portable navi system. Bought mine from Amazon for $159.99, seen elsewhere for $249.99 and above. Can 't beat the price for what you get. Touch screen interface, turn by turn directions and the AAA points of intrests are great. The only feature I wished it is to add multiple stops in your trip. Aside from that, it is great. You can't go wrong with this for the price and ease of use. The 4.3 inch screen is also a plus.

Why did I buy a Magellan 4000? I have a 4040 sitting on the dash of my car (I needed the Canadian maps) And it has always come through for me. So when my wife's old GPS passed on, I knew just which one to buy.
It's easy to use. You enter your location and it tells you where to go wonderfully. The maps are easy to see. It even offers the name of the road you're supposed to turn onto. They have modified the program a bit from the 4040. On the 4040 the computer tells you how long the trip will take. The new 4000 tells you what time you're going to arrive. Much better for long rides or business trips. I might add that it was correct from Tampa Fla to NY. and Cleveland Ohio to NY. When you stop for fuel or a meal, the arrival time changes.
It lacks the Bluetooth of the 4040, but between road and car noise, the cd etc, the background noise makes it almost useless on the highway. You can hear fine, the background noise makes you hard to understand.
Once in a while, like most GPS's it offers a somewhat roundabout way of getting from point A to B but that is often because you have chosen "Most use of freeways".
It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it well. And for the price here on Amazon, you can't beat the value.
