Magellan - Maestro 3100 Review

I have had the Magellan Maestro 3100 for a year now and I like it a lot.  It is super easy to use and loads my directions quickly.  The main problme I have had with other GPS units is the speed.  I usually only have mine on when I am using it, and I only use it when I am lost or don't know where I am going.  Other units have taken so long to find my "current location, " that by the time it finds me, I have already had to make decisions on which way to turn and often have chosen the wrong way.  This GPS is so fast, I have never had a problem finding my way.

It's very easy to use-- auto fill-ins of cities and street names, lighted back for nighttime driving and spoken turn-by-turn directions.   You are given ample time to make your turns and a bell chimes when the turn approcahes so you don't accidentally turn on a road just before or after where you are supposed to.

Holds charge for a long time so you don't have to keep it plugged in.  This is useful so you can take it out of the car with you or drive different cars or rentals a lot.
