Magellan Maestro 3100

Pros: Great price, wonderful interface, great search interface, and nice detour capabilities

Cons: Lack of text to speech, tight car attachment, battery life too short for pedestrian use.

The Bottom Line: You want a GPS and on a tight budget? Look for a Maestro 3100 on sale! You'll love it.

Review: There are lots of units out there for $200. But when you actually use it, you realize why it costs $200. Then you pickup Maestro 3100. It looks rather simple. Power it on outside and GPS locks on quickly. You scroll the screen and it pans fast. Then...

Pros: Easy to use, a lot more features than I expected, very inexpensive.

Cons: Doesn't drive the car for me -- that would be awesome.

The Bottom Line: Well, I think you can deduce from my review that I adore this GPS unit. I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone.

Review: I bought mine refurbished for $80 from RadioShack. I wasn't expecting much, but this little unit is wonderful! I'm a professional comedian and I use it in cities and towns all over the country. Recently I was performing in Mexico and although it...

Pros: Easy to use; simple to set up

Cons: CAN NOT UPDATE MAPS. OBSOLETE OUT OF THE BOX

Review: This unit works well, is simple to use, even without instructions. Unfortunately, it's virtually useless right out of the box, in an area that is continually adding new roads. I just got my 3100 on 2/14/08, and the maps were about 1 1/2 years out of...

Pros: easy to use

Cons: makes mistakes (wrong side of street). does not store way points except for home.

Review: this is a low budget gps. I would recommend it if you don't have money for a more expensive one. I would never update it though as I did update mine and it is now fried. No response yet from Magellan on what they are going to do although it is over...

Pros: Price,Solid Construction,Brightness,Voice,Dual Viewing Mode,

Cons: Somewhat slow right after saving addresses to memory, Simulator Mode needs to be sped up

Review: This is an excellent GPS unit. Purchased for $135 over holidays on the internet. Have been using unit for past 2 weeks on a daily basis. It's a road warrior, meaning that the construction of the unit is solid, the touch screen is very accurate, and...

Pros: Save yourself from guess work when trying to get to where you are going.

Cons: There are none. For basic navigation the unit gets the job done!

The Bottom Line: buy it and save the stress for other issues in life!

Review: I bought the 3100 on sale!!! Before I bought this unit, I had only used a hand held GPS with no Map. I had to enter coordinates and name the Waypoints. It worked great for walking etc, but now I have a GPS with moving map! Big leap for me!!!

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product as if you have any issues and have to go to the Manufacturer, you are toast...

Review: I purchased a Maestro 3100 3 weeks ago from a reseller. I had the unit for less than a day and then it would not charge. I walked thru all of the steps as mandated by your tech support representative, but we could not get the unit to work. This was...

Pros: Installation is easy n flexible. Volume quality is very good.

Cons: does not provide periodic repair or maintenance.no warranty for battery.

The Bottom Line: Highest recommendation! I have never been lost, or confused, even when encountering accidents which have closed expected routes of travel thanks to the Maestro.

Review: The Magellan Mastro 3100 GPS is well rounded, does everything well, and is a good value for the money. The unit itself is attractive and even stylish. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read in both daylight and night. It dims automatically...
