Magellan® Maestro™
  • Automobile Magazine recently reviewed the major GPS brands in its "Gotta Have Nav" article and acclaimed "the Magellan is impressive: The turn-by-turn voice pronounces the name of the road you're looking for. With the couple-second delay these systems sometimes have, it's nice to hear a street name rather than just "turn left ahead." It never lost its signal during our test, and the estimated time of arrival was accurate within a few minutes. It looks good too, with a shiny black finish that resembles a flat-screen.
