 Finaly, almost a perfect GPS |

I've had many GPSes. This is the best of them. It has many features, so many, that some of them are not even emphasized/mentioned/described in the manual. For example,
1. Auto-Zoom: I love it. It is very "aggressive" changing the zoom and angle depending on how far the next maneuver is. I always see what I want: from an overview of next few miles to a close-up of my next turn.
2. Volume Level based on current speed: other GPS are too loud when driving 20mph and too quiet when driving 75mph. Maestro 4370 adjusts sound volume level to the speed.
3. It turns itself on/off when you start/stop the car.
4. You can choose from ABC/QWERTY keyboards (ABC is a show-stopper for me). Keys that are invalid at a certain point of entering an address are disabled - great feature reducing keyboard errors.
5. Offers to save location when external power is disconnected.
6. AAA POI/ratings database.
7. Route options: it shows you on a map 4 routes created using different routing parameters. Routes are drawn with different colors. What a joy!
8. The screen is high resolution and beautiful.
9. Next maneuver commands are clear and given ahead of time. You have plenty of time to get to the best lane. Plus, 4370 has lane guidance/assist.
10. GPS fix time is very good.
11. FM traffic reception is good.
12. POI database is pretty good.
13. One-touch POI access is a great feature.
14. Tells street side of the destination.
------
Decent, not great:
1. BT hand-free calling could be louder and more reliable. Perhaps, my phone (ATI Tilt) is not 100% compatible.
2. No phone book import over BT.
3. The touch screen is not always perfectly responsive. Maybe, I have to get used to this particular device.
4. The screen is gorgeous, but reflective.

i read a lot about all gps. i first settled on garmin 760. I later saw this refurbished product on amazon and decided to try it. since it is refurbished, the device came with some previous owner's information but i just had to reset it to factory setting to erase all previous owner information. this devise is comparable to garmin 1390 which costs $300 where as this magellan is being sold for $100 only. it looks new like it has never been used. just update the firmware and you are ready to hit the road.
will highly recommend to friends. |
AMAZING GPS!!!!!!

Yes, this gps is just great, I recently bought a garmin 255w, and as soon as i looked at it and felt it, i told myself, this is not what i want, so i looked and looked, and since i had a Magellan Maestro before, i decided to buy the magellan Maestro 4370, as soon as i looked at it, i told myself, this is what i want for my traveling. I highly recomend this gps, and if you get it thru Amazon, you will only pay about 120 dollars, thats 3 YEARS extended warranty, ?What else can you ask for?? Go for it!! And even though its refurbished, it just looks like new and works like new.
I just hope my review helps you decide to get this gps, you wont regret it!! |
Great Deal!!!

| Over the past few years I owned four different GPS units. This one is definitely the best one. The screen is gorgeous. This hi res screen makes a huge difference. The unit is full of features like lane assist, 3D buildings, Bluetooth, AAA database. As a BT speaker it does not work as well as a standalone piece (I own the Jabra's one). I had some problems paring with my iPhone but eventually I managed to connect. Researching on the internet you can find some tips about hacking the unit. I was able to make the warning screen to disappear after few seconds without clicking OK button, the way most Magellan units behave. Lane assist is a really cool feature. I'm a little bit disappointed with subscription based traffic alerts. Really hate to pay a monthly fee when there are many other units offering it for free. No biggie, as far as I understand it is unreliable at this point anyway. The speaker is, kind of, weak. For the price of $109 I paid for the refurbished unit (which by the way came as new) it's a great deal. Though it is not perfect, I highly recommend it. |
Best purchase I've ever made!

| I compared every GPS out there and finally decided on this one and I'm extremely glad I did. Everyone tells you to "get a Garmin". I'd have to disagree. The Garmin and the Magellan are exactly the same asides from price. If you'd rather pay $200 more for the same product go for it, however I'd rather save that money for something else. The Magellan has found every place I need to go. I love some of the features on it, like putting your MP3's on it and being able to listen to your music through your car speakers. No iPod needed! You can put videos and pictures on as well. I love that it has pedestrian mode, bus mode, taxi mode and car mode. You can choose between arrival time, current time, distance etc when locating a place. The screen is clear and big. Mounting it is extremely easy. I liked it so much, I bought one for my friend. And if your worried about factory refurbished, don't be. It is just like brand new right out of the box. If there wasn't a sheet saying it was factory refurbished I would have never known. The only thing I noticed was my home was set to somewhere in Tennessee (I live in Washington) but that is an easy fix. Delete home, add yours. I would recommend this to anyone. |
