 Good... but it did mess up Nov 12, 2008
First off, this is a good product but Magellan should either update the maps or provide a free upgrade, Garmin did for my dads Nuvi 650. Okay I used this to go to South Bend, IN from Lafayette, IN I ran into a closed road on the way and it took me there once it rerouted, however it did try to take me down a one way road. On the way home I tried to take I-65 as it directed but it was closed in two places then it rerouted me and got me lost in Gary the murder capital wtf. I was able to reroute for the shortest distance and it took me out into bfe to get to a major highway. Then I encountered another road closing luckly the opposite way I was going to turn took me back on to I-65 where I wanted to go. I only discovered this because I needed gas otherwise I would have been who knows where. Anyway I would like to try the updated maps, I think this would solve some of the reroute problems (obviously the road closings will not show up). Although it did take me all over the place it did get me out of Gary, without I would have been SOL.
Useful little gadget Nov 11, 2008
I bought this GPS mainly because of the larger screen this model provides compared to the other ones. Using the gadget and maneuvering between the menus are quite simple - nothing too complicated. I like how they have a trip planner (to save destinations and use them later) and there are countless destinations as POIs also. However, the biggest bother for me was when I noticed that upon start up, it took a while to realize where I was exactly and re-calculate position and route to take.
Pros:
-easy to use menus
-lots of POI's (although they may need to be updated)
-trip planner to save multiple destinations
-price for the model
Cons:
-took a while to locate position upon start up (up to 30 secs at times)
-does not have text-to-speech capability
-sometimes takes less popular roads, even though I'd prefer them
All in all, I get what I paid for. It comes in very handy when I need it and the cons takes some getting used to, but great product in the end.
Very Good but cheaper at Toy's R Us Nov 05, 2008
I found the unit to be very good... limited Points of interest, but the really good part is that Toy's R Us has it for $120 (Clearance).

Magellan Maestro 4000 Sep 04, 2008
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! Aug 30, 2008
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.
