Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Comment: This is an awesome item. I doubted it and change course while on the interstate and it rerouted me to my destination. This best item I brought this year. Customer Rating: Summary: Magellan Maestro 4250 Comment: The product seems to work well so far. The only complaint I have about it is that it seems to take awhile to locate the satellites at startup. Sometimes it takes as long as 10 minutes (which is not good if you start out not knowing where you're going). I also wish I could make the screen a bit brighter and the volume a bit louder. The bluetooth works with my T-Mobile phone but I have to remember to disconnect the connection through the Magellan screen. If I happen to turn off my cell phone without disconnecting first from Magellan, then the Magellan screen will lock up and I will have to reset (push the button at the bottom of the unit) to get out of the locked up screen. My particular cell-phone is not on the compatibility listing, though, so I should be happy that it works at all even though it's not supposed to. A louder volume control for cell phone usage through this Magellan device would be best served here. Other than these few points it is a great unit. It has a nice wide screen and is very easy to use. This is my first navigation device. I'm overall very pleased with it. Customer Rating: Summary: not worth the money Comment: I was very excited to purchase this GPS because it got great reviews on Cnet. I quickly found out that despite all of its bells and whistles this product does not stand up. The Bluetooth is not loud enough and I was never even able to figure out the traffic updates. I emailed Magellan directly from the website and it came back as undeliverable. I had heard of Magellan's poor customer service but I mean, come on. Undeliverable? Worse than that is the issue that the unit routinely froze on me. I sent it back only to have my replacement do the same thing. On the bright side I will say that its menus are very user friendly and the points of interest are very well organized and easy to find. Still, none of that is any good if your unit is frozen. Customer Rating: Summary: Good if it Worked-it DOESN'T Comment: This GPS would be great if it worked. Unfortunately, it does not. It is a stylish unit, light, and a nice screen. Right out of the box, though, it needed updating. Firmware, maps, AAA tourbook. You have to register the warranty to update, making it unreturnable. I updated the firmware, that went great, but the AAA update trashed the unit. Halfway through the download, it said "GPS not Found", and would not continue downloading or upgrading. Since then the unit is frozen, locked, useless. None of the buttons will work, it won't go past the opening warning screen, and I have had it. Emails to Magellan came back "undeliverable". I don't know about you, but my life is stressful enough without this sort of problem. Also the updating is tedious, first you download the update, then you must install it on your hard drive, then transfer to the unit. Get a GARMIN! Customer Rating: Summary: takes some getting used to but overall we like it! Comment: I will start off by saying that we are past Garmin owners and have enjoyed Garmin GPSs immensely. We decided to give this Magellen a try since it had a lot of the features we wanted now without the higher price the Garmin offered. This GPS is set up differently then the Garmin, so my husband had to spend a couple of weeks getting used to it (he almost had me send it back!). Once he was acclimated to it, he now enjoys it, especially the traffic alerts, detours, and programming a favorite just from hitting the "current location". More Reviews
