Smart Review

We've been big fans of Magellan's Maestro line since it came out in early 2006. The Maestro interface is incredibly easy to use, even for those who are not completely comfortable with electronics. At the same time, Magellan was ahead of the industry with useful innovations like multi-destination routing and pre-loaded reviews for points of interest like hotels and restaurants (from AAA). With it's 3200 and 4200 series, Magellan has improved the Maestro line giving them a SirfStar III chipset that provides super-fast. satellite lock and making them thinner. In fact, at .7 inches, these are -- at the time of this writing (November 2007), the thinnest portable GPS navigators available. Distingushing between models is also fairly easy.

USER REVIEW

Great product! I was also considering the Nuvi 660 but purchased the 4250 as it had voice recognition. The VR does perform reasonably well as long as you keep the background noise down, which is understandable.
One big suggestion is to purchase the Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad to mount to the Maestro, or any suction cup GPS unit - it really does stay in place without sliding! Another great product.
I am an end user and have no affilation with either company.
