Summary: magellan 4250
Comment: love this product !!!!!!! It's amazing and i really love my magellan 4250 .

Summary: Waste of Money
Comment: We had used one of these very successfully in a rental car so decided to buy one. The unit came with maps that are 18 months old. The routes around New York City turn short trips into senseless tours through the boroughs. Technical support was unfailingly polite in explaining the $80 update to the maps would help, probably.

Summary: Refurb 4250 a great deal
Comment: Originally ordered new for $200 from Amazon, but then saw the refurb version for only $120. Ended up returning the new one. The box was clearly labeled refurbished, but everything looked new - no scratches and all components present. Upgraded the firmware with no issue and have used it a few times now. Haven't used the traffic feature (no need). Did use it on a trip to the mountains through some pretty narrow canyons - tracked very precisely. Has limited functionality with my phone, but I could make a call through it. Main limitation is a shorter 90 day warranty, but overall a great deal.

Summary: Ok GPS...Not Great
Comment: Pros: I love the large screen. I also like that it has many different ways to search for places you are looking for like airports, movie theatres, etc. One of the neat features of this product is that it responds to voice commands.
Cons: The maps on this model are VERY out of date. The first two times I used this GPS, it sent me to places that haven't existed for more than three years, so the maps are at least that far out-of-date. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have bought this unit. It seems a bit ridiculous to me to pay $200 for a GPS and immediately have to pay $70 for updated maps. Also, every once in a while, the unit just doesn't announce a turn. It'll show it on the map, but the voice doesn't say it out loud.
Conclusion: Personally, I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend this model since the maps are so out-of-date. Even though it has some neat features, the whole point of the darn thing is to get you where you want to go. Without updated maps, that often doesn't happen.
