Comments about Magellan Magellan Maestro 3250 Auto GPS Navigation Unit:
did some research and this product seemed to meet my needs for a reasonable price. I have only had this for a few weeks, but used it on several occasions and found it to be accurate and flexible. I am not sure of what other gps makes and models offer as far as specific features, but so far, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
