Magellan - Maestro 4250 GPS Device Review

I purchased one of these units for my daughter as a Christmas present to elimate her every five minute phone calls when she was traveling in near by larger cities. Now she has the ease of using the points of interest to choose her route to get to where she wants to go with video and voice directions along the way without having to call for directions after missing her turn. Now if she misses a turn the GPS will recalulate her way for her.

I took the unit out of the box on the way home and after plugging it in to the lighter adapter and a few touches of the view screen it was ready to take me where I wanted to go. I typed in the home address using main freeway and highways for my trip home. Already knowing the best route for what I typed in I waited to see if it would tell me each turn I needed to take. It gave me alerts when the Interstates merged along with the lane I needed to be in. Two miles before each turn I would get the first alert then a few additional alerts as I approached the turns. When I reached my house it told me I had arrived at my destination.
