She is not extremely tech savvy, yet she has really enjoyed this model. The price was very reasonable and it comes with everything you need--mount, car charger, A/C wall adapter. I bought this GPS for my mom, who continaully gets lost driving. It is simple to use and perfect for people who don't want a unit with 50,000 features that are hard to understand.
I have had my Maestro 4000 for a few weeks now and I am thrilled. After a lot of research, the Magellan seemed the easiest to use with the features I wanted. So far so good. This is my first GPS. I was on a trip with a friend that has a Magellan. Still learning about all the features.
I can't recommend any, personally, as I haven't bought any others yet. So this product is a scam, as apparently it is supposed to die after a year, so you'll buy a new one.Terrible, terrible product. This product worked fine for just over a year, and then died on me. I checked Magellan's website and they won't repair it. I recommend finding a different brand than Magellan when you buy a GPS navigator.
What a dissapointment. Thinking maybe we missed some important instruction, called Magellan CS and they confirmed it's a store demo unit. However the "NEW" unit we received turned out to be a demo unit, which goes into demonstration mode (playing commercial type of introduction video) automatically even during driving, our Christmas trips almost ruined by this. The second unit has exactly the same issue. We ordered this Magellan maestro 4000 GPS for our Christmas travel. Delivery was fast. Contacted Amazon, and exchanged.
The new units are no longer on sale, so I would have to buy a refurbished unit or pay a lot more. They should have sent me a new unit and picked up my refurbished unit. Amazon said, "no". The real problem is I ordered a new unit, on sale directly from Amazon and I was sent a refurbished unit, with the previous users home address and destination addresses still in the memory of the GPS. I am very disappointed with Amazon. Instead, I have to send back the unit I received, for a refund.
Part of my purchase price was a gift card, so, I am afraid things will get even more screwed up if I return it. The unit itself is ok, other than the battery was completely dead on arrival. I finally found the phone number for Amazon, which isn't easy. I said ok, then just credit me the difference of what I paid for a new one, to the price you sell a refurbished one for.
