Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Description -- November 13, 2007
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. The 3200-series navigators feature a 3.5-inch screen, while the 4200s have a 4.3-inch widescreen display. The 3200 and 4200 offer great, basic navigation with turn-by-turn spoken directions, pre-loade maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and 1.3 million POIs. The 3210 and 4210, add maps for Canada and Alaska, AAA travel information (see details below) and bump you up to 6 million POIs. The 3220 and 4220 add maps of Mexico. The top-of-the-line 3250 and 4250 add a host of other features, including text-to-speech directions that give real street names, bluetooth for hands-free phone calls, integrated traffic (with a free 3-month subscription), and voice command.

4 out of 5 stars I like it!   October 24, 2008
I received my Magellan GPS promptly and I like it. It is easy to program and to operate. The driving directions are clear and so far they have been accurate. I am glad that I made the purchase!


4 out of 5 stars Good Travel Companion.   October 23, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Magellan Maestro 4200   September 26, 2008
This is a great product I just turned it on and it did it's thing. I went from St. Louis to my sisters exact address in Chicago, even missed an exit and it recalculated the route. I never leave the house without it I was so tired of getting lost and that is a thing of the past now.


5 out of 5 stars magellan 4200   September 16, 2008
I like this item alot. I recently had the Magellan 4200 stolen from me recently, and because I liked the way it worked so much I purchased the same exact one again, and even paid more for it this time. It might have cost me more money this time to purchase it but definetly worth the money compared to other similar items.


4 out of 5 stars Good but not Excellent   September 6, 2008

The Magellan 4200 has a few standard features that you will find in more expensive models. It is lacking the street name directions. All you get is turn left or turn right. That part is annoying. You can still mute the unit and you will be ok.I tried searching a few addresses and it was pretty accurate. So in that sense is good. I will probably sell this one and get a better model. Overall, it is a pretty decent unit. Easy to use.
