Summary: Magellan Maestro 3200
Comment: This is a great little GPS. The 3.5" screen is a perfect size and the grapics are very helpful. Well designed. The only drawback for me is that you cannot search for business' by name. It does show nearby gas stations, and many other points of interest. Well worth the money.

Summary: Great for the price
Comment: I picked up the Maestro 3200 for $120 including the shipping to my house. The product itself works pretty well and I love how slim and light weight it is. This gps is a little behind where you actually are driving and takes a little longer than my older TomTom to re-calculate routes. That said the price and size greatly outweigh any negatives that I have about the unit. Great GPS for $120!

Summary: Happy Traveler
Comment: I purchased this GPS for my husband last Christmas and we both liked it so much that we kept moving it from car to car. I decided to get one just for me and I found a Tom Tom on sale. Big mistake, I hated it. I could not understand how to work it, it kept falling off my windshield etc. I ended up selling the Tom Tom and getting another Magellan. Lesson learned. Stick with a good thing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very basic, very good
Comment: I bought the Magellan 3200 a couple of months ago and I'm happy to say that I'm very satisfied with its performance. I owned a Garmin c340 prior to buying the Magellan and the Magellan simply outperforms the Garmin in many aspects.
PROS:
1) Startup Time - The 3200 starts up in under 10 seconds. The initial satellite lock-on time is under a minute. Most of times, if you're at the same place you turned off the unit, the lock-on time is under 30 seconds. However, if you turned the unit off and took a plane across the country, it takes a bit longer to get the initial lock-on.
2) Signal Strength - I have never lost reception with the 3200. Although to be fair, I've also never driven into a tunnel or deep into an underground parking garage.
3) Recalculation time - I have missed my turns lots of times, either on purpose or by accident. The 3200 can handle most of them pretty well. I've only experienced one time where the unit told me to make a u-turn because it can't figure out any other way to get to my destination.
4) GUI - The UI is very clean. The type to display response time is very good (<1 second). I love the way 3200 takes away the letters as you type and suggests the city/street before you finish typing the whole thing.
CONS:
1) Calculated Route - Sometimes you need to double check what it gives you. I would say 95% of the time, the route is probably good enough. It doesn't have traffic capability, so you might use some common sense when it gets to rush hour. However the other 5% of the time, you'll get a route that blows you out of the water. It'll add an extra 100 mile onto your route when you're just driving to the next city for some dinner. I don't know what prompts these errors, but usually you can spot it.
5) "North" & "South" - I don't know if this is Magellan's way of getting you to pay for the more expensive units, but half the time, the unit won't tell you if you're suppose to get onto the freeway in the NORTH or SOUTH direction via text-to-speech. The screen still displays the N/S, but it just won't pronounce it. So whenever you're getting onto the freeway, you have to sneak a peek at the display to figure it out.
Overall, I would highly recommend this product if you're looking for an entry level GPS unit with text-to-speech function. It lacks some bells and whistles that the other more expensive units have, but hey, as long as I get to where I need to be, I'm a happy camper.
