| GPS works well; easy to see and use interface. Upgraded maps will be a plus in late 2008. Great value for the price. |
| Amazing deal! |

| I was skeptical about getting this product from resale/ refurbished site. The GPS was in perfect order, it's had all the bells and whistles. The only problem was that it didn't come with a car adapter like it said it would. |

| I have had the Magellan Maestro 4000 for 2 weeks & have found that the mapping is not accurate & very outdated. I hope that Magellan will offer an updated mapping for this unite. Dick |

I've had mine for about a mounth now and it is a fantastic little device.
the reason I purchased the GPS is because I was going to be doing a lot of traveling in different states. That little talking screen was a life saver, I mean she lead me right to the door of my Hotel, she found places to eat. And when I say "she" I mean the disembodied Female voice the GPS has. The GPS has a few little Quarks but if one keeps driving on the same road and not making a lot of wild turns she well straghten her self out. Other then that the screen is bright and automatically changes for night driving, the windshield mount is really strong and stable.
So the bottom line is if you need to get somewere and don't like to read maps pick up the Magellan Maestro 4000. |

| I'm a veteran business traveller who relies heavily upon the Hertz Neverlost units, also from Magellan. But I recently did a personal road tour of the east coast (I live in Oregon). I rented a car from Hertz but opted against paying for Neverlost in favor of my nerw Magellan Maestro 4000. Hertz gave me the Neverlost anyway at no charge so I was able to compare the two. One would have thought they'd be the same, both being Magellan products. They are not the same and the hand held Magellan 4000 is the winner. The interface is easier to use and the graphic display has a larger vista. But most importantly (and inexplicably)the Magellan 4000 got me to more places than the Neverlost. Try this test in Westport MA for example. And in general, the directional instructions were more acurate. Only complaint: sometimes the ding-ding sounds just a little too late to know for sure the maneuver required. 20-30 feet sooner would be helpful. Excellent product in my opinion. |
