 Awful product...DO NOT BUY! June 3, 2008
I was given the Magellan Maestro 3100 for a birthday present back in August of 07. I used it for no more than a month and it froze on me and would not reboot or anything. I called the customer service and they told me to send it in for repairs. I did this, after 3 months of calling them weekly I got my system back. Their customer service was awful, they kept telling me they were doing updates which is why it was taking so long. I finally got it back right before Thanksgiving and used it. It worked great here and there and then I went to put the newest updates on it and it froze again and the my computer kept saying something about the files being corrupt. So now, not only will my computer not complete the updates but the device is frozen. So now I have to send it in again FOR A SECOND TIME to get repairs. The device itself worked alright. Other than the minor problems I had with it: I live in a rural area and with all the trees I could not get a signal from it for about a mile to two miles. It did not say the street names before you turned on them other than saying the turn was coming up in .5 miles. I visited family in Philadelphia often and this was extremely unhelpful because you can't really take your eyes off the road long enough to see where you were suppose to be going. Plus with the how long it took to get a signal I was stuck roaming around in the city until it could tell me where to go. It took sometime to recalulate where to go so you missed the instructions before it even had a chance to tell you where to go. Between the little quirks, the system freezing twice on me now, and the horrible customer service, I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. I feel awful that someone spent money on this product for me.
So far so good! June 2, 2008
I have only had to use two times since I purchased.
I normally get lost around the corner..
I arrived at both destinations with out a problem.
That's good enough for me.
 Ill never be lost again May 22, 2008
I am thrilled with this. Entering an address or destination is very easy. The product will even search for specific points of interest such as Italian restaurants in a given city.. or gas stations..tourist attractions..etc.
The kind female voice tells you exactly when a change is coming. This would be anything from freeway entrance/exits, a turn, a need to stay in a specific lane.. etc. You get several friendly reminders. If you still make a wrong turn it will re-calculate and give you a new route to your destination. The touch screen is clear and fairly easy to read. The package includes a disc with a sticky side and a smooth side so you can mount it on a porous surface in your car. The suction cup also attaches to your window easily. I am horribly directionally challenged and this is a fabulous product. I will never have to worry about getting lost.
Do not buy this product May 22, 2008

Do yourself a favor and buy a competing product. My Magellan 3100 arrived from Amazon and worked for a few months but it wouldnt shut down when the motor was turned off. I have been trying to get it either repaired or replaced since I purchased it back in december. Its incredibly complicated just to get the request to them, they want everything but your Dog's name. They have had this information for literally weeks and all I want is a return authorization which they said I needed. I got one email saying they were going to make my request a priority then nothing. I cant even get the return authorization for them to look at it much less the actual repair. Do yourself a favor and get a Tom Tom or something. This company doesnt care.
Be cautious!! Chose a different brand May 22, 2008

I'll keep it brief. Customer service is beyond non-existent!
Bought hand held unit, worked fine in US.
Bought Direct Route EU, software. Would not load on unit.
After 7 months yes 7 MONTHS of emails/letters/ phone calls.
Magellan finally agreed to exchange, but they sent wrong software.
THEY DO NOT CARE, and just give me a run a round AGAIN.
So I have a useless GPS.
