Amazon.com Product Description -- November 13, 2007:
We've been big fans of Magellan's Maestro line since it came out in early 2006. The Maestro interface is incredibly easy to use, even for those who are not completely comfortable with electronics. At the same time, Magellan was ahead of the industry with useful innovations like multi-destination routing and pre-loaded reviews for points of interest like hotels and restaurants (from AAA). With it's 3200 and 4200 series,Magellan has improved the Maestro line giving them a SirfStar III chipset that provides super-fast. satellite lock and making them thinner. In fact, at .7 inches, these are -- at the time of this writing (November 2007), the thinnest portable GPS navigators available.
Distingushing between models is also fairly easy. The 3200-series navigators feature a 3.5-inch screen, while the 4200s have a 4.3-inch widescreen display. The 3200 and 4200 offer great, basic navigation with turn-by-turn spoken directions, pre-loade maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and 1.3 million POIs. The 3210 and 4210, add maps for Canada and Alaska, AAA travel information (see details below) and bump you up to 6 million POIs. The 3220 and 4220 add maps of Mexico. The top-of-the-line 3250 and 4250 add a host of other features, including text-to-speech directions that give real street names, bluetooth for hands-free phone calls, integrated traffic (with a free 3-month subscription), and voice command.

- Not updated
When I purchased this item I thought it would be current with maps and data. I have lived in my home for 5 years and it did not even have my address on it. I am really disappointed that I may have purchased and item with outdated maps on it. I won't fall for this cheap scam again! Check the current map data before you purchase. It truly was not any deal by any means!
Rating: - First GPS
This is my first GPS and I am not too savvy on the new technologies.It has been helpful except for one time when we were leaving Kentucky to return home to South Carolina and it it started us in the opposite direction than we should have been going.I re-program it and it did fine the rest of the way home.

- Good GPS, old maps!
As a navigator, it's a functional and easy to use device. However, the maps are from 2007 and if you want the 2009 update, it'll cost you $80! Also, although the unit is sold as the "North America" version, there are no maps of Canada loaded or available for purchase!
Rating: - Good, BUT...........
The GPS unit works well, but I wish that I would have known that the maps needed to be updated the month after I purchased it. Maps for it cost $80.
