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 its 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. Additional Details- Pre-loaded maps: The unit comes with maps of the complete United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
- Large display: The 3.5'' anti-glare full color touchscreen is easy to read and use.
- Bluetooth capable: With a Bluetooth compatible cell phone, you can make and take calls through the Maestro 3250, hands-free.
- Street-specific guidance: Text-to-speech means the unit will announce street names as part of the directions, so it will tell you to ''turn right on Main Street,'' rather than ''turn right in 500 feet.''
- Real-time traffic updates: A free 3-month subscription to Magellan TrafficKit service will give you real-time updates for traffic conditions in your metropolitan area.
- AAA TourBook: This unit has built-in AAA TourBook guide travel information, details on roadside assistance and information on member discount locations.
