Wow where has Magellan been all these years? A lot of people only know about TomTom and Garmin but Magellan is a soon to be popular GPS franchise itself. I bought mine at Circuit City because I wanted to get the hands on and feel of all the GPS units. I looked and used the TomTom and Garmin (which I have a fond interest in Garmin) and then saw the Magellan Maestro 4250 GPS unit. It's sooooo easy to use and the touchscreen is PERFECT... Garmin seems to have a problem with there touchscreen, b/c i would press down on the selection I wanted and nothing would happen. And sorry to say but every unit I saw for TomTom made me wanna puke...I think its the clarity of the graphics on the unit...it seems chopped up...I dunno...not for me! Okay so what are you gonna gain if you buy a Magellan Maestro 4250 GPS unit.....here are the reasons I chose it:

--BLUETOOTH READY (CONNECT A CELL PHONE AND HAVE CALLER ID ON YOUR GPS SCREEN)

 --MILLIONS OF POINTS OF INTEREST (ATMS, GAS STATIONS, RESTAURANTS)

--AMAZING 4.3" COLOR TOUCHSCREEN, EASY AND NOT A UNIT WHERE U HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING SCREEN TO MAKE A SELECTION

--3 MONTHS OF FREE TRAFFIC ALERT (FIND WHERE THE ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAYS ARE AND AVOID THEM!)

--MAKE CUSTOM POINTS OF INTEREST AND LOAD THEM INTO MAGELLAN (MOM'S HOUSE, GRANDMA'S HOUSE)

--TURN BY TURN VOICE DIRECTIONS --VOICE COMMAND (IE..."MAGELLAN, GO HOME") 

--1 YR WARRANTY

--128MB RAM (FAST LOADING TIMES)

--10 MB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE

--FREE MAP UPDATES ONLINE

--TONS OF SATELLITE SUPPORT SO YOU DONT EVER LOSE A SIGNAL

--AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUILT IN

--SD MEMORY CARD SLOT

--INTERNAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY EITHER BY CAR OR WALL OUTLET......

 I CAN PROLLY GO ON FOREVER...THE GREAT THING IS, IS WHEN I GOT THIS THING TO MY CAR, IT WAS SOOOO EASY TO SET-UP...I EASILY PUNCHED MY HOME ADDRESS IN AND IT DIRECTED ME ALL THE WAY HOME WITHOUT A MISTAKE ON THE WAY. AND THE BEST THING ABOUT MAGELLAN IS THAT THEY ARE PRICED WAY UNDER GARMIN AND TOMTOM, LETTING YOU GET A STEAL FOR YOUR MONEY...YOU DECIDE...BUT I WAS IN YOUR SHOES ONCE AND I AM TOTALLY AMAZED AND GREATLY SATISFIED WITH IT. PLEASE RATE THIS REVIEW WHEN YOUR DONE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MAGELLAN UNIT JUST EMAIL ME...HAPPY EBAYING AND GOD BLESS!!! JOSHUA
