Maestro 3100 Reviews

Amazing from the Start

This product has been helpful on several occasions already. I tried it around town first to make sure it knew the best/quickest ways to get around and it passed with flying colors. It's built in avoid system is very nice for when you're low on cash and can't afford tolls. Very easy to use right out of the box. Screen is large enough to view from the farthest point on your windshield. The change from light to dark streets at night is an amazing feature, it tones down the brightness so your not binded everytime you look at it while driving down those dark streets. The sound quality is good, however if your like me and like listening to fairly loud music, you might need to check the screen more often to make sure you dont miss a turn. If you do miss a turn the GPS quickly gets you back on track the easiest way it can. I have taken it on long and short trips and hasn't let me down yet. This is a Great buy!! I'm now getting two more for my parents.

Magellon for Father's Day

This product is phenomenal. I bought the Magellan Maestro for my 74 year old father for Father's Day. He is, to say the least, non-computer savvy. However, he was able to use the GPS with ease. The instructions are easy to read, and the on-line help was fast and reliable. He is currently off roading in Nevada using his new navigation system and having a great time.

A great value for the money, and has saved me $

I bought this late in 2007 to help me from getting lost in Fairfax County VA. Since then, I've moved to Florida, and it's just as useful here. BUT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE MECHANICAL LADY. She is almost always right. I was lost one night trying to find a body shop that I'd been to several times during the day. The Magellan kept telling me to make unfamiliar turns and I was sure it was taking me on a wild goose chase. Nope, almost at the point where I was sure the thing was wrong, it said, "you have reached your destination," and there was the body shop!

I lent the unit to a German-born retired Florida Sheriff's Deputy. He was slightly confused on how to get from my home to his late at night. So I pulled the Magellan off the windshield of my car, and then thought to myself, "this isn't going to work because Johann will never obey the lady: he's a cop and a German to boot (and they never obey anyone.)"

So I told Johann to do whatever the lady said, even if he thought the lady was wrong. Yup, in about 1 mile Johann thought the lady was wrong, and she insisted that he make a legal U-turn. Eventually he did, and the unit took him flawlessly to his front door. HE WAS AMAZED WHEN THE LADY SAID, "YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION."

The only reason why I did not give the unit 5 stars is because it's not good on way-points, and once in a while, it does take you down a dead end street. I think that's because that street became a dead-ended when the housing industry slumped in Florida.

magellan gps

My husband bought this for me for Christmas. He says I couldn't find my way out of a brown paper bag when it comes to directions and finding places. I won't elaborate on that, but the gps has come in so handy and I love it.

Great GPS only unit!!! Great price!!!!!

This is a great GPS for the price. I only wanted GPS and not all of the other bells and whistles (phone, etc). It works great and I'm looking forward to taking it on vacation this summer! And it did it right out of the box (after charging)!!
