I just got Magellan as a present.  I'm not into reading manuals.  Basic set up is:  plug it in, mount it in the car and you're ready to go.  All of the equipment you need is in the box.  The  suction cup makes it easy to find a place on the window.  The bracket is adjustable so you can put it in a convient angle to be read.  It has plugs for house current, a USB cable so you can hook it to your computer for quick updates, and a cigarette plug for your car.  There's even a CD if you really need help in how to use it.  Programming is touch screen.

I do deliveries for a living so getting around town is a must.  This GPS allows me to enter several addresses and then have the Maestro put them in order for me.  It has an average mechanical voice, gives me ample warning of an upcoming turn, gives the direction and names the street I'll be turning onto.  If I want to find a place to eat, get gas, locate most any kind of service there is a section to ask for that.  Some services are even voice responsive.  You could ask for the nearest fuel and it will give you a list and tell you how to get there too.

Like any GPS it is not 100% on locating the address but it is within a couple of doors.  I've ridden with a person using his computer and  a GPS locator that is about equal.

This is really great for the men that won't stop for directions.  But they do have to stop long enough to tell Magellan where they want to go.
