 Magellan Maestro 4250 (Factory Refurb) October 5, 2008

Recieved 10/1/08, looks like new, operates like new. Box included a A/C home charger (not listed as an included item on the box). Nice freebee. The POI seem to be outdated, other GPS I own (TomTom, Garmin, etc) are more up to date for my area. It does not pin-point my home base as close as other GPS do. The case is made of a slippery plastic, kind of hard to get a grip on. The Display is sharp, easy on the eyes. This thing is fantastic the way it finds satellites from my kitchen counter. Within seconds of turn on, it has grabbed 4 or 5, ready to go to work. Only 90 day warranty, so use it heavy first 90 days. TO-DO: get a windows 'puter on line and up date the firmware. No regrets on this purchase, the $129, free ship AMZ deal is hard to beat.
More like brand new than refurbished October 19, 2008

I purchased this product not knowing what to expect, when i recieved it in the mail i played with it a little and tried to turn it on and off and whatnot. it was really slow but that is because i had not yet updated the firmware on it. So i let it charge for a few hours til it was full, and then went online, registered the product and downloaded the new firmware update for free through magellan's website. After installing the firmware, the gps worked beautifully. It booted up much faster and switched menu options in less than half the time. This gps exceeds my standards in every area, and did not have a single blemish anywhere on it. The only thing i have found to be a drawback about this gps is the hands-free bluetooth feature. It is very easy to use, however many times people have a difficult time understanding what i am saying when i speak via the gps unit, even with the windows closed and radio off.
Great GPS October 28, 2008

This is a great GPS for the money. It will get you to your destination. This GPS, or any GPS will not provide you with the best route. NONE.
It will reroute you quickly, if you miss a turn, or desire to alter the route.
Yu can connect your cell phone, via Bluetooth, and it will operate as a "hands free" device.
This is a complete GPS unit, and has many features not mentioned.
Be sure to update the Firmware, at MegellanGPS.com Don't use the mount that is provided, but use a VENT MOUNT. A vent mount will provide a mount on your A/C vent. It is great, because it doesn't block your windshild vision.
Don't hesitate to buy this unit. Buy a refurbished unit. Refurbished??? That means "NEW", with less warranty. $140.
I love mine, so will you.

Very Good GPS! November 7, 2008

Although this was a refurbished GPS, it came with everything as advertised. One thing I would recommend when setting up this unit...make sure you reset the unit, because if you don't you may find it freeze up unexpectedly (read the documentation and \ or check out the support site for information on how to do this). Once you reset the unit you shouldn't have any more issues with its performance...I know we haven't. After some initial tests (which worked well) I decided to go online and update the Firmware to the latest 4.6 version (which was free). There was also a major change to our local highway interchange late last year which was not reflected on the maps that came with this unit. I therefore decided to update my maps to the latest 2008/2009 version through Amazon (couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else). With these upgrades this Magellan Maestro 4250 has been working like a charm. I've found the menu was easy to learn. For beginners, I do suggest you learn how to use it before you try setting it up in your vehicle...expecially if you have never worked with any GPS before. It will help you avoid having to guess where options are located while your driving. For experienced GPS users you will find the menu system very intuitive and will probably be able to set it up in the vehicle and start working with it almost immediately. As far as routing goes, this GPS has been flawless with its directions. I was also pleasantly surprised at the speed that it picked up the satellite signals. I have read complaints about other products taking a long time to get a signal...but I have not experienced any delays in my experiece. At the price I bought this refurbished unit for (< $140) I am very pleased with its functionality and performance. I have not tested the other functional aspects (ex: bluetooth) thoroughly enough to offer a strong opinion as of yet, but as far as its main purpose (actually getting you from point A to point B) I would stongly recommend this unit. Like I said earlier, it's been working like a charm.
Excellent unit, excellent price November 4, 2008

I was hesitant to purchase a refurbished GPS system but I was extremely surprised! The unit is in PERFECT condition, functions wonderfully, was easy to set up and [...] The only two disappointing issues - there was no reference as to what "came in the box", so I ordered additional power cords that I don't need, and my phone (LG) is not recognized by the GPS bluetooth sync. The unit came almost fully charged and came with dash mount, windshield mount, USB cable, car charger, wall charger, CD to get you started/updated and the code to install the free 3-month trial traffic subscription. Considering what I saw this unit listed at in stores without the accessories, I saved several HUNDRED dollars on it and am very pleased with it. Definitely recommend it for someone who'd like something a little fancier without paying a lot of money.
