Customer Review :
Needs work, support and maybe some re-engineering. : Magellan Maestro 4040 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Well, I am not the Gps buff a lot of the reviewers seem to be, so you'll get this recap from a quarterly guy. My only former touch with Gps is renting a Garmin 330 with a rental car twice. My wife hated the Garmin, I liked it, but I was awe struck by the tecno-factor. So we went finding on-line to see what was available. We bought this unit specifically because it met my wife's criteria. She loved that it spoke road names and not just "turn right", "turn left". She also like that it was loaded with the Aaa data. We have been Aaa members for more than 35 years, so this highlight appealed to us. If you are not a Aaa member, then any Gps that has Poi's is probably satisfactory for you. She also demanded one highlight - she hates highways and wanted something that would provide the shortest distance without using highways. This was the only unit that did that as part of a suitable routine. For everyone else it was either not potential or required thorough sailing to get to the screens where you could agenda it to use that criteria.
My experiences thus far have been luke warm. When picking "shortest distance", it doesn't all the time pick the shortest distance, even though it was programmed with the roads that were shorter than the map it gave me. On the other hand, it went to some extremes that were not uncostly to get the shortest distance such as having me take an expressway off-ramp and on-ramp because they went in a straight line while staying on the expressway made a curve around the exit area that probably added 100 feet to the trip. It also had me taking tiny turns in small towns, also just to save a few feet. All in all, the shortest route was very hard on driving and gas and not all the time right. To make matters worse, the unit out of the box would crash constantly when you picked the "shortest" route. All other options worked fine. I went online and got five software updates and the crashing question disappeared. However, the newest maps for this unit are the 3rd quarter of 2006, so there are a lot of things not on there. We missed some streets in Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and Southern California because they were not yet programmed into the Gps even though the streets were at least a year old.
The unit also suffers from overly menu-driven programming. Things should be remembered from time-to-time so you can just reuse frequent data. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't - at least not intuitively. For example, when you agenda your "home", it takes eight separate menus to go for it as the place you want to go. Just to add it to the database took some minutes of typing in information. I assumed I could park in my driveway, click on something that said "add current location", give it a name and be done. That doesn't happen. When you are searching by categories and such, it doesn't have a paging menu. If ten items are listed and you want to scroll, you have to do it one item at a time; for example, you type in Columbus because you want to go to Columbus Ohio. You get 12 hits, Columbus, Ohio being number 9 on page two since they won't all fit on one screen, and you have to down arrow nine times to get to it. I would have liked to hit next page and down arrow once or twice to get to it. These may sound petty, but when you are programming and driving this is a distraction (and I don't necessarily mean programming while moving, just pulling over and taking this kind of time is annoying).
Finally, I am sending the unit back because the hardware is defective. The clip (called the cradle) that attaches the Gps to the owner doesn't fit the unit. It just keeps falling off. All the touch you have read above came from having the unit sit on my lap while I tried it out.
It also gives odd changes and distances from point-to-point. This is just an understanding because it isn't wrong, but let's say you are going twenty miles on an expressway before you get off. The unit doesn't say you are going twenty miles. It says you are going six mile, then seven miles, then seven miles. Each distance is when you cross a major highway or a county line. It is not relevant information for any speculate I can grasp. It knows where I am going and should just count down for me.
My last criticism is a highlight suggestion that should be considered. The trip computer is very tiny in the information it provides. When I used the garmin, I could touch one button and a thing popped up that looked like an automotive dashboard that told me speed, Eta, miles to go, miles traveled, all sorts of good data about what happened, what is happening and what is yet to happen. It was very thorough, including top speed this trip, average speed, time stopped, etc. The trip computer on this unit says average speed, distance, elapsed time and that's about it - plus it takes four menus to get to the info - again, not useful if you want to track when and where you are going and how your develop is doing.
I gave it a three because after the software fixes, it will get you where you want to go, but it is not worth the differential we paid between it and the newer versions from Garmin. Again, that's a judgment call on my part, but I used the 320 and 330 and they now have the 350 and 360, or if you want the 650, 660 and 670 whose highlight set is greatly vast from the one I first experienced.
All in all, unless you are as a matter of fact tied to user simplicity, I wouldn't suggest this unit.
