Magellan - Maestro 4040 GPS Receiver Reviews

My husband is an outside salesman, so he drives A LOT.  I bought this for him for Christmas last year, and I have to say, it is AMAZING!  Now I want one for myself.

I just got this as a present.  Easy to set up; basically just 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 mounting bracket and suction cup to mpunt it 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. — — I'm not into reading a lot of stuff to set up and… read full review »

I love this GPS - bought it 2 weeks before going to Canada for the first time - not only did it guide me everywhere I wanted to go in British COlumbia, it was able to hook into the CAA website and tell me which restaurants gave AAA discounts as well as 1800 numbers for those places -all on the road - also was able to convert system to Metric so we didnt run afoul of Canadian traffic cops !! Will never go on any road trip without it… read full review »

Really good GPS. Worth every penny that I spend on it. It recalculates really fast and the Bluetooth quality is amazing. The 4.3 bright screen makes it easy to read the street names. —     All in all, this GPS with Bluetooth is an awesome device for regular day to day life. Naviagtion is quick and entering address is also kool. —… read full review »
