Had some trouble right out of the box...
The screen is big (4.3 in.) the graphics are beautiful, the voice commands are very clear, it works very well, this units packs plenty of volume, so it is very easy to drive to your destination without having to look at it. The sensitivity is excellent, as it tunes to satellites within a few seconds. My only gripe was with accuracy, as it always showed my vehicle's position about 1/2 block BEHIND at all times, it was also very slow re-calculating routes and that was a bit of an annoyance, but it resolved all this issues by installing the new firmware available as a free download at the Magellan site. NOTE: Updates are PC only, no Mac support that I'm aware of. For some reason the battery only lasts about 30-40 minutes, so the power supply cable has to be connected all the time or the battery quits suddenly. The POI's are VERY limited in this model, so don't even count on them. I've became accustomed to hearing the street & freeway exits by name with my Garmin and my older Magellan 760 (an earlier unit that was stolen from my car) but the Maestro 4000 does not speak street names, although the unit became very accurate and much faster after the updates. For those of you who like to hear the street names, this unit does not have this feature and it is not upgradable via the firmware. In general this a very decent unit at a very decent price, nice display & voice, but it is a bare bones basic unit compared to the other Magellan models costing just a few dollars more.Know the way
Great GPS device. We took a trip to Austin, TX just after receiving it and was totally impressed. Today's technology is awesome!!Love the Magellan
I never owned a gps. My cousin came and we used her's to get around the city. I was sold!! I bought the very same one she has for hubby for Father's day. I'm impressed and can't wait to use it when we travel way up north from Florida.Magellan Maestro 4000
This was a gift for my college graduation. It has already traveled with me through a few states and has been excellent. Great volume, clear pictures, helpful POIs.Magellan Maestro 4000
I have purchased three Magellan Maestro 4000's for family members and everybody is very happy with them. Not a single malfunction.Keyword : magellan
