 Slow restart, Screen freezes sometimes, Wrong Route, BlueTooth does not syn. with my cell phone book. November 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros: AAA TOURBOOK
TEXT TO SPEECH/BELL SOUND REMINDS ME TO MAKE A TURN
VOICE COMMOND: BY SAYING A MAGIC WORD *MAGELLAN*
EXTRA 1 YEAR WARRANTY WITH AAA MEMBERSHIP CARD (I REGISTERED THE UNIT WITH AAA PROMOTIONAL CODE, BUT I CANNOT COMFORM IF I GOT 2ND YEAR WARRRANTY FOR FREE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON MY MAGELLAN ACCOUNT)
GOOD SATELLITE SIGNAL
AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANT
Cons: Slow bootup, Screen freezes, Hard to read the screen under sunshine
Mapupdate costs money
Slow (Bad?) Customer Service: EMAIL MY QUESTIONS TWICE TO MAGELLAN, NO REPLY SO FAR AT ALL!! MAYBE THEY ARE TOO BUSH??
Unreliable route. Today this unit fools me Four times. It prompts me to exit at an INAPPROPRIATE ramp from the freeway, I followed the BELL SOUND that reminds me to make a turn then I had to drive extra roads and consumes more gas.
Rerout speed is slower than my previous Garmin Nuvi 205W
ABC Keyboard layout slows my typing speed
USB Cable cannot be used for battery charger/car charger is very lose
Sometimes, it is hard to mount this unit with the adhesive disc.
Blue tooth does not load my phone address, AND dialing a store's number from POI does not work. For example, the phone number lists in a POI, is 650-809-0000, when I touch this number, both my cell phone and this unit says, "The number cannot be completed, please check out the number and dail it again." Why? Entering number into my cellphone is like 6508090000, no dash need. Look again,650-809-0000 and 6508090000 differs. Basically, the Blue tooth in this unit is not good.
Voice commond sometimes cannot hear my voice, so I have to speak close to the microphone in the unit.
Not impressed! But for the price $149+tax, it is NOT A BAD deal.
USE YOUR BRAIN AND THIS GPS TOGETHER!
UPDATE!
I had a very pleasant customer service experience with Magellan's Technical Support! Magellan already shipped me a 2008 spring map update for FREE!! I am expecting to receive it in the next few days!
For the price $149+tax,what else can I expect to get??
2 years warranty(including 1 year AAA membership)
Text-to-Speech, Blue tooth, roadside assistant, AAA Tourbook, Voice command, Split view map, chime sound to remind me when and where to make a turn, free 2008 MAP UPDATE($79-$79), AND Magellan's Excellent Customer Service!
Very good deal for me!
Keep in mind "nothing is perfect!"
 Great GPS! November 7, 2008
After trying several GPS units from other brands, I found this unit to be the best in terms of clarity of directions, user interface, volume level and size. Highly recommended!

Magellan Maestro 3250 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
My brother could not be happier with his new Magellan 3250.
I have one also and it is a great help in unfamiliar areas.
So far works great October 15, 2008
Shipped promptly, easy to use, neighbor bought one after seeing mine.
Several others are ordering.
It's great October 12, 2008
Our whole family has used it and find the features to be very good. It is very responsive and the speaking of street names is essential. We plan to buy the database update; however, $79 seems expensive. We bought 2 more for Christmas presents.
