    Maestro 4250 honest review

    By Jay Bell  Jan 11, 2008 | 11 out of 12 found this Magellan Maestro 4250 review helpful

    Pros: Ease of use; portability; wide screen

    Cons: Freezes up; voice command

    I owned a Magellan 3000 series for over a year and loved it. Unfortunately it broke, so I bought the Magellan 4250. I really like it's slim design, it's easily portable to travel with, and it is extremely user friendly. After using for a litt...le over a month, I have experienced several problems. The biggest issue of all is that the touch-screen often times does not respond when I'm trying to key in an address. I often times have to touch the same letter over and over again. I called Magellan support. They said to fully power down the unit, then restart it. I did this and it didn't help. Another complaint is that the speaker is too weak/cheap to support the voice when volume is at it's max. Voice distorts a little bit. My last complaint is that this unit has voice-command (say, "Magellan re-route, for example) and it does what you tell it. Problem is, if the radio is on or you're talking to your passenger, this can cause the unit to think you're trying to give a voice command. So you have to push "re-route" to see the navigation screen again. This happens often enough that I had to disable the Voice Command feature. (Recommended solution by Customer Support.) Why pay for a unit with voice command when you have to disable the feature due to glitches in the system? Summary: Good: Easy to use, nice slim disign, great wide screen. Bad: Too many glitches for the money. Read more Less

    Great GPS

    Pros: Bluetooth, accuracy

    Cons: ??

    I own 4 GPS units, all different, and I found that this is be best of all. The Garmin screen is too small and does not have an ear plug. The Garmin with the Bluetooth and the earplug allows me to mount on the motorcycle and still be able to hear the ...commands. This unit is highly recommended by myself and the best bang for the buck!
