 severely disappointing July 28, 2008

The first day I used the magellan 4250, it worked great. However, the second day, it went brain dead, it would not turn on. I sent it back to Amazon and they sent another unit. This time, the unit worked for about 3 hours and then went dead. I am very disappointed in Magellan, why would anyone build a unit that does not work properly. Thank goodness for Amazon's easy return policy. I will now be buying either a Tom Tom or Garmin.

I've had my Magellan Maestro for about 3 months and have loved it. However, the cigarette lighter adapter stopped working quite suddenly and after charging it with another adapter to my pc, the battery only laster for a 20 minute trip and then died.

If you want a device to navigate you, Magellan is the best. I bought this 4250 couple of weeks ago, I love it so far. My friend bought a Garmin which has similar features (with some more bells and whistles), but when it comes to mapping and navigation this beats the Garmin hands down.
You can select POIs of your interest to show on the map. You just tap it to get the full information and route to that POI (which you can't do on a Garmin). Talk about "Exit POIs", you can't praise the people enough who put this idea in to this unit. When you are on a freeway, tap this icon to list all the restaurants, gas stations and hotels on the forth coming exits. This is the best I can say, which saves lots of time finding a restaurant or hotel of my choice.
As some people mentioned, I too agree the device had some glitches initially. After I updated with the latest firmware available on Magellan website, it works flawlessly now.
Bluetooth is a so so. It works, but the volume is not loud enough as the map announcements. After pairing with the phone first time, when you switch it on next time it doesn't show it is connected to the phone even though it IS connected. I accidentally found this when I received a call immediately after I switched on the device. So, actually I don't need to push 'connect' as someone mentioned here. It DOES connect to the phone each time I switch on the device.
Another nice thing is 'Smart Detour' (even if you are not subscribed to traffic alerts, this works) this device alerts with an icon blinking on the left asking if you need a detour when it detects the high way speed suddenly drops to a single digit speed.
People, please stop complaining about customer service. For any technology device, you can't expect anything more. YOU as a consumer, know better than those folks. You must be talking to a guy who never saw a device that he gives support for. So better find your answers elsewhere. If I need support for a device, I Google it first. Calling customer service is the last option (if I want to return it)!!
I strongly recommend this device. You can't go wrong.
Looks better than it performs July 24, 2008

Unit looks great, but performance is terrible for a high end unit. On long trips it would try to make me get off exits just to get back on the expressway.
Do not recomend.
