Good price. great product
I bought this unit a few weeks ago because I was going to a wedding on the other side of the state,and I have no sense of direction.I was concerned that I would get lost in the middle of nowhere.
So,never having used a GPS device before,I read reviews and decided on this one.
I'm very glad I got it.I got to and from the wedding worry-free.
The screen is very bright and colorful,and the"voice" is clear and loud enough to hear with the top down on my Jeep.
The set-up took about two minutes.After the co-ordinates were established from my house,I programmed the address of the wedding,and it mapped out the route clearly and easily.
I have since used it to see if it ever messes up,but so far it has not.
I really like this thing.I love all things electronic,but,living on a retirees budget,I had to get the best I could for the money I could spend.And I did,and I love it!!

Magellan Maestro 3200 GPS
Magellan Maestro 3200 is a great GPS. It worked right out of the box and had less menus to get through to tell it where you want to go. Just need to trust the little system and listen to the directions. Very easy. Also easy to adjust to shortest distance, fastest time, or no highways or no toll boths. really easy to work with and see what is coming up.

Would recommend to a beginner for a GPS. Points of Interest were really fun as well! Can search by name or category.. never failed on our trip to NC then on to Myrtle Beach.

Tinny speaker, annoying lady voice, pixel-y looking map, often confused about where I am
I used a Nuvi 260 for a few days before it got some bug in it so when returning it I decied to try the Magellan 3200.

Compared to the Garmin I had just returned, I hated this GPS. It has a tinny speaker which sounds cheap and is so high treble that it's hard to understand if your windows are down. The annoying lady voice got to me, she sounds like a 40 year old smoker bar maid. lol

The map display is cheap looking, like the type of resolution I saw in old windows video games. The roads aren't drawn smoothly, they look like vector graphics, which are a series of straight lines to make a curve instead of drwing a curve.

But the worst part is that it's often confused about where I am or which way I'm facing; if I miss an off ramp, it takes a while for it to notice. And sometimes it thought I was facing the opposite way than I actually was, sometimes it thinks I'm on a different street adn it will go wacky in circles until it figures out where I am.

It doesn't have as many points of interest, which are sooo valuable.
And its bigger and bulkier than the nuvi.

Finally, I really don't like the way that the miles to your next turn is a tiny number at the bottom, I refer to that often. Oh and the cigarette lighter plug has an annoying bright blue light on it that distacts me at night with it's brightness.

What I do like is that it tells you what road you are on all the time. And it lets you enter addresses with zip code or city, where as the nuvi doesn't. It does seem to pick good routes to places

Bottom line, try a gps before you buy it -- only by using it for one night will you realize you can't stand anything about it and want your old one back!

Better than nothing
My old car ('04 Honda) had DVD-based routing system. New corporate vehicle does not. While this thing is certainly better than having to print out directions every time I travel, it is still quirky. Many times, when turned on, it shows me in my driveway...even if I'm 200 miles away from home. After a few minutes, it seems to reorient itself. Has gone into a "recalculating route" loop a couple times, too. Like I said, better than nothing.

Great Navigation Unit
I recceived the Magellan Maestro 3200 for Father's Day and it was the best gift. This unit is easy to use and simple. I would highly recommend it. My wife did a lot of research on GPS systems and this one suited our needs.
