REPLACED MY MAGELLAN MAESTRO 4250 WITH THE 4350
I've had this Magellan Maestro 4350 for about two weeks. It replaced my Magellan 4250. At first,upon approaching an intersection or a road on which I was to turn, I was expecting the warning tone as I did with the 4250. I didn't receive one. However, this Magellan does give more descript directions such as: Turn right in 1000 ft. and it reminds you again as you get closer to your turn : Turn right in 400 ft., however, I don't think about if I am 400 ft away or ask myself how far is 1000 ft from ...

Pleased But Cautious
My Magellan Maestro 4350 is my first GPS device. Naturally, I'm impressed with all the capabilities and I'm enjoying it. I'm looking forward to a 300 mile trip to a neighboring state in a couple of weeks when I'll give the GPS a real test....all road conditions and plenty of changes in the route.
While I hate to say the product has been anything but perfect, I have to confess that I've had a problem or 2 and it wasn't like I wasn't forwarned. I've had software lockup issues. The...

Magellan 4350 - Excellent GPS features (long review)
As this is a lengthy review, those not wanting to wade through the entire text can find a summary under the 'Conclusions' heading.
Test Conditions:
All tests were conducted in the Northeast U.S. Although I don't own another portable GPS, I do have a factory installed navigation unit in my 2006 Audi which I've utilized for several side-by-side comparisons (the Magellan is actually for my wife's car).
Updates to the 4350's operating system and navigational firmware are a...

Excellent GPS, Poor Customer Service
It's been few days since I bought the Magellan 4350. It is an excellent piece of art. It's ready out of the box. Although I had little difficulty connecting it to my smart phone (8125), it worked very well after that. The FM transmitter is a nice feature where you use the car audio system to listen to GPS directions, MP3 and make your own phone conversations with good quality sound. The Magellan 4350 price is not even comparable to the premium price paid for the GPS option built in new vehicle....

I love my new Magellan Maestro 4350 GPS
I received my Magellan Maestro GPS and am extremely happy with it. The directions and graphics are great. I particularity love the 3D screen and the easy options it has.
This unit tells you the speed limit on expressways, show you the exit signs well in advance, lets you know if you are exceeding the speed limit if you want it to and the voice quides you to your turn.
The search features to restaurants, gas stations, airports, etc etc are easy to use. When traveling ...

Magellan has no Customer Service
I purchased a Maestro 4350 based on superior professional reviews and price value. My limited usage to date shows it has excellent features. Some nice features my daughter's NUVI 760 does not. That's where the good ends!!
Magellan provides little or NO service. I downloaded the software updates and the unit hung up, said "please wait" for over 18 hours. I called C/S and reached a person with very limited English skills and could not solve the problem but gave contact to get return ...

So far, Excellent
This is my first GPS although I have borrowed others to use for some long trips. I travel quite a bit with my hobbies and interests. My wife is a horrible navigator that can't read a map and many times I am driving by myself. I find it hard to read the map and drive particularly unknown territory.
In the few days I have had it, it worked like a charm. I made a trip to a friend's house in the middle of nowhere that I haven't driven before. It got me there with the exception of me ...

Magellan 4350 GPS
In my opinion the Magellan 4350 is not as good a unit as my Magellan 4250. Some of the main items that the 4250 had on the screen were elimiated on the 4350, such travel direction on screen(N,S,E,W), when in the navigation mode the screen does not tell you the current street you are on as the 4250 did. The 4350 does not give you vehicle speed except in the navigation mode as the 4250 did. The volume is much lower that the 4250. Last but not least Magellans Customer service just stinks, you call ...

Fair GPS
I have had this gps for 7 months now. It is fast and fairly accurate. When I miss a turn, it takes only 3 seconds to detect and reroute. It also shows landmarks and buildings on the map. These features are particularly useful when driving in a crowded city like Washington DC.
The bad side is:
- The Magellan 4350 Blue Tooth is simply very poor. There are lot of static sound and very loud. The volume control for Blue Tooth doesn't change the sound level much from max to min...

Lots of features for a low price but......
The features and price of the 4350 are impressive. The routing, at least for me, was anything but. Maybe that's the reason the price of the 4350 has dropped like a rock since it was released in September 2008.
The poor routing is my biggest complaint and was very concerning. Two cases in point: 1) I set up a route to my parent's place (about 950 miles away) and no matter what routing option I selected, it took me on some really weird routes when I got within a few hundred miles of m...
