Customer Review: PRODUCT REVIEW
Summary: 4 Stars
EXCELLENT UNIT.
1. I found that MAGELLAN has done nothing to get rid of glare during daytime hours and this is a MUST FIX situation. I had tried another person's TOMTOM ONE and NO GLARE. Having had the Magellan 760 in the past, I had the same problem.
2. The bell prompt that indicates exactly where the turn must be made occassionally comes too late to make the turn safely, unless you take eyes off the road to read the name of the street on the screen. ANOTHER MUST FIX SITUATION for safety.
ALL IN ALL, THE MAGELLAN MAESTRO 4000 IS AN EXCELLENT UNIT AND I RECOMMEND IT.
Customer Review: Great piece of work and driving companion

Well, this is a cut above my Roadmate 360 which I love and still use. I like the internal battery power that lets me use the system in the house for maintenance, etc. The only thing I miss is that it doesnt announce the street that you are supposed to turn into. It just announces the turn with appropriate 3-D extras where necessary. The internal antennae seems to work perfectly, even with a ventmount. I know that in CAlifornia you are not allowed to attach any kind of windshield mount. The wide screen is a definite PLUS above the Roadmate. Good job, Magellan.

Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first GPS navigator so I don't have anything else to compare it to. This is a very nice product, easy setup, easy interface, nice bright screen in daylight. Really like the auto-night feature where it switches the screen colors to black/green. Only disappointment is the short battery life if used unplugged. It seems like 1.5 to 2 hours is all it will do without a recharge or running off the cigarette lighter. The windshield mount suction cup bracket works well although it is a little bulky. Something smaller/slimmer would be nice. Overall very pleased with this GPS.Customer Review: Do not buy Magellan!

I purchased this pricey unit from amazon in March 2008. After just over a year of careful use (I even bought the carrying case) it now flickers when plugged in. It seems that the single pin plug in for this unit is not very sturdy, most other units use a mini USB plug.
I e-mailed customer service, who told me I was 2 months out of warranty and out of luck. I just assumed that a unit of this price would last more than 14 months because it is now useless!
Stick to companies that stand behind their products (NOT MAGELLAN)!!

I PRICE SHOPPED AND RESEARCHED FOR A NUMBER OF DAYS AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW ON THE AMAZON WEBSITE..I SAVED OVER $200 ORDERING THRU AMAZON, AND THIS UNIT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC IN CLARITY, SPEED AND INFORMATION. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!
