Plan to pay $79 more for the new maps, or just buy something else
I bought a Magellan Maestro 4250 in July of 2008, and discovered that my street, built in 2005 isn't there. Customer support told me, when I called to get the software update at the time that there will be a new map release in September (the software update is required to make routing work somewhat logically). But they didn't tell me that it was going to cost me $79 with no upgrade discount for recent purchasers, almost half the price I paid for it. So the bottom line is that these are units built in 2006 which Magellan is dumping on the market with obsolete maps, knowing that they are going to screw you for another $79 to get your street on the screen in the next few months.
This is awful customer service from Magellan, and it suggests to me that there are better companies to buy a GPS from.
In addition, there are some well written review comments from others here, stating for example, that the voice activated features don't work very well and are restricted to a nearly useless set of things (nearest coffee" but nothing like "1402 Maple Street"), and that the traffic avoidance features make poor decisions about when and how to re-route you. This is not a quality product by any contemporary standard.

Great GPS at a great price
The Magellan Maestro 4250 is a great GPS. It pronounces the names of the streets as you approach your next turn. It responds to voice commands. The price provided by the Amazon partner is outstanding; several hundred dollars less than the local electronics store.

Magellen 4250
This product was easy to set up and get started. The grafix are good and the many extras such as the hands free bluetooth phone was a welcome addition since I travel to California and it is illegal to use a cell phone. The slim design made it easy to integrate into the many electronic devices we have added to our vehicle (ipods, radar detectors, etc.). I recomend this device to anyone who is looking for a good GPS device. The Manufacturer price tag can be a shock, but if you do like I did, shop around and you can find a deal. (none better than Amazon really).

there are probably better similar products out there
the price seemed reasonable enough, but some maddening glitches have rendered this item collecting dust on the shelf. will not function when is is being charged, which does not help when you are in the car looking for a route with the battery low. i would look into other models or manufacturers before settling on this one.

Is a great product. I use it almost every day and help me a lot. The future about the traffic is helpful.
