I am not overstating it when I say the Magellan Maestro 4250 is the best purchase I’ve made in the last 16 months. You might ask why?
First, the GPS device works great. I have the introductory subscription to traffic alerts (yes, they do work!) and the device even lets you talk to it so you can be hands-free when driving. My only big complaint is the manual for the device is AWFUL. To get Magellan’s attention when driving just say “Magellan.” It’s very easy to use, tells you street names, and even can let you control you cell phone with a BlueTooth feature.
Second, I’ve used Magellan twice on trips to Hawaii. In Kaui it was like my own personal tour guide, telling me Auto Club-recommended places to see and restaurants to eat at along the way. I wouldn’t have had the patience for reading road maps or guides (and I didn’t have to thanks to my Magellan GPS device). I even used the Magellan Maestro 4250 in Honolulu when I rented a car. I had ordered a rental car with a GPS device, but as often happens they were “out of GPS devices.” I ALWAYS take my Magellan with me when I rent cars because I’ve found 1/3 of the time they’ve rented all the cars with GPS, and I don’t want to be without Magellan.
