new and I had used 3 times. Magellan Maestro 3140 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator I bought this For $300.00 on special in June 2007. It worked fine. Magellan ustomer service is NON existent.
and still dont have a gps. I think I will buy a Garmin. I think I am out of $300. I have not received the new unit, but I got a message a month ago that the were "repairing" the old one, NOT the agreement.
Customer support in India was of no help. I returned the unit as instructed for a replacement and upgrade, for extra money of course. I did not use it untiluntil a road trip in JUNE 2008. Finally I got to customer service in the US.
They wanted to charge $99.00 to repair something that now sell for $149. Then it went dead. They don't speak English well enough to handle a problem.
All my employees want one too. I would recommend it. Easy to use.
Sorry that it doesn't say the name of the street or hwy you are turning on to - sometimes it seems to get confused
Does not offer street name announcements (important for me when using it on my motorcycle).Short battery life of about 3 hours (again, important for motorcycle)Conclusion:I returned it to Amazon and got the Magellan 3250 in its place (same product with smaller screen but includes street name announcements) Pros:Beautiful screenEasy to useBig screenLots of POI (I like the AAA info that comes with it)Cons:Comes with 2007 maps. Even though I purchased it in Aug 2008, Magellan still wanted another $80 to update to 2008/2009 maps.
It took us right to the place we wanted to go and we arrived at our destination at the exact time it said we would. We just bought the 4210 Magellan GPS a few weeks ago. Thank You. I would recommend a GPS to everyone. It is Fantastic. It arrived just in time because we were going on vacation so we used it right away.
