B. Daniels (St. Louis)
Love the ease of use on the unit,simple learn and operate. I travel with 2 Garmin owners who were blown away with the performance of the 4700 on a recent trip to Colorado. They love the graphics, how fast it loaded up and how accurate it is. The also loved the way the 4700 would change the route without the "recaculating" Garmin voice. I just returned for a project run in the Kansas City area on both sides of the state line and the 4700 was quick and accurate for every location I needed to be. For the price, you can not beat the performance of this unit.
 disappointed and not mac friendly March 8, 2010

I was very disappointed with the Magellan Maestro. For being a GPS that supposedly has all of these great features, I have been quite disappointed.
My first MAJOR issue is that it is not mac-friendly. When you take it out of the box, in order to be able to program in an address, you need to download updates to the firmware or whatever it is. However, you can not do this on a mac computer. I rarely have access to anything else, so it has made it quite difficult to get it working effectively
The voice on it has an underlying angry tone, and there's no way to change it that I've found.
The phone feature is nice, but it does not tell you/read you text messages like many of the other models going at this price do. So I would recommend one of those over the magellan any day!
Overall, it's functional and does what it's supposed to do if you can get it to keep the address and not restart to increase system performance. Hopefully the update will fix that if I ever find a computer to use.
Magellan Maestro 4700 review March 7, 2010
one L (APO, AP United States)
I bought the Magellan Maestro because I live in S. Korea and need to travel to America two or three times a year. Need something easy to use. The Maestro does all this and does it easily sitting at my desk in a foreign country, once I arrive in America I am directed by the magellan to my hotel.
Good Aid March 7, 2010
Sidney Crumley
Works well. Really like the "bing" audio just before you reach a turn. Magellan really needs to update the user handbook. I bought this specific GPS because it has a pedistrian mode which is supposed to help you find where you parked your car. The user handbook doesn't tell you how to do this.
Very happy with this GPS March 5, 2010
Dave Simmons (Portland, OR)
I have had 8 GPS units so far and this is by far my favorite, it is the most compact, the easiest to use, and gets the signal the fastest and reroutes the quickest as well.
Pro's:
1. I have had several other GPS's that took a while on the first boot up to locate me but this one is very quick.
2. The rerouting is the fastest of any unit I have had by far.
3. Has the most POI of the types that I actually need then other units, including AAA stuff.
4. It has soooo many other features that I could go on and on about, I have not had anything that even compared so I would highly recommend this GPS.
Con's:
1. Bluetooth is hard to hear, people seem to hear me fine but I can not hear them very well at all.
2. I have had a few times it showed me in the wrong place so I missed my turn, this happened three times in one month but I do drive about 3,000 mile a month.
3. When driving on the Interstate, the mileage to the next exit counts to the next Interstate if there is one before your exit, or several in my case and I need to know how far until my exit, not how far till the next Interstate exit. It is fine if there are no Interstates between when you get on the freeway and your exit.
