I bought this GPS for my mom, who continaully gets lost driving. She is not extremely tech savvy, yet she has really enjoyed this model. It is simple to use and perfect for people who don't want a unit with 50,000 features that are hard to understand. The price was very reasonable and it comes with everything you need--mount, car charger, A/C wall adapter.
This is my first GPS. I have had my Maestro 4000 for a few weeks now and I am thrilled. I was on a trip with a friend that has a Magellan. After a lot of research, the Magellan seemed the easiest to use with the features I wanted. Still learning about all the features. So far so good.
So this product is a scam, as apparently it is supposed to die after a year, so you'll buy a new one.Terrible, terrible product. This product worked fine for just over a year, and then died on me. I checked Magellan's website and they won't repair it. I recommend finding a different brand than Magellan when you buy a GPS navigator. I can't recommend any, personally, as I haven't bought any others yet.
Thinking maybe we missed some important instruction, called Magellan CS and they confirmed it's a store demo unit. We ordered this Magellan maestro 4000 GPS for our Christmas travel. Contacted Amazon, and exchanged. Delivery was fast. However the "NEW" unit we received turned out to be a demo unit, which goes into demonstration mode (playing commercial type of introduction video) automatically even during driving, our Christmas trips almost ruined by this. The second unit has exactly the same issue. What a dissapointment.
Part of my purchase price was a gift card, so, I am afraid things will get even more screwed up if I return it. I said ok, then just credit me the difference of what I paid for a new one, to the price you sell a refurbished one for.
The real problem is I ordered a new unit, on sale directly from Amazon and I was sent a refurbished unit, with the previous users home address and destination addresses still in the memory of the GPS. I finally found the phone number for Amazon, which isn't easy.
The unit itself is ok, other than the battery was completely dead on arrival. The new units are no longer on sale, so I would have to buy a refurbished unit or pay a lot more.
They should have sent me a new unit and picked up my refurbished unit. Instead, I have to send back the unit I received, for a refund.
Amazon said, "no". I am very disappointed with Amazon.
