Magellan Maestro 3225

Pros: Great Value! - text-to-speech, SD card slot, AC charger included. What's not to like?

Cons: It didn't improve my gas mileage (but it might just save me a few miles)

The Bottom Line: Recommended. Works well and Great Bang for the Buck, IMHO!

Review: This is my first very compact and portable GPS, however, I previously used Microsoft Streets & Trips with GPS on a Laptop on trips, so I am already very familiar with these things. This unit is much more convenient in the car while driving than M-soft ...

Pros: Text-to-speech function

Cons: Only 1.3 million POI's; sound might be too soft

The Bottom Line: A good GPS at a great price

Review: For my first portable GPS, I got the G armin nuvi 200W as a gift, and it was a revelation. It worked so well, and was so great to have that I got another GPS for my husband, the Magellan Maestro 3225 from ...

Pros: High quality accessories, nice package.

Cons: touch screen is hit or miss, but workable.

The Bottom Line: Although I can't compare this unit to another brand, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Review: I purchased this as my first ever GPS from Tigerdirect for $ 70 as a refurbished unit, and it came with accessories, like a high quality suction cup winshield mount.  The car charger was also very high quality and charging is based on a usb mini ...

Pros: Easy to install and use, small and compact, text to speech

Cons: No software updates, no bag/cover to protect it, slow rerouting

The Bottom Line: I recommend this to anyone looking for a simple GPS. I liked it so much that I gave this to family members for Christmas last year.

Review: What is it? The Magellan Maestro 3225 is a no-frills GPS navigation system. It is small and compact, and surprisingly affordable compared to the other GPS models. It has a touch screen menu on a 3.5" screen. The kit I purchased came with ...

Pros: Text-to-speech speaks road names, Canadian, Alaskan, Hawaiian & Puerto Rican maps & POI’s, Nice features.

Cons: Very awkward road announcements, Spartan POI database.

The Bottom Line: It’s a cheap GPS unit with some very nice features, but the speech leaves something to be desired…

Review: The Maestro series GPS units are almost always the cheapest sets of navigation computers you can find in your local electronics store. Although most of them do not feature text-to-speech (speaks road names,) this unit is a considerable exception. ...

Pros: Pretty much the low price.

Cons: Bad directions, Not loud enough, slow to update your position. No warning for upcoming turns.

Review: I bought this for $150 bucks. I am planning a trip to NYC, this thing gave crappy directions from the store to my house, Then rerouted me like 5 miles out of the way. Same thing when I tried another address. The highway is a 5 minute ride away from my ...
