Magellan Maestro 4210 Review:
The 3200-series navigators feature a 3.5-inch screen, while the 4200s have a 4.3-inch widescreen display. The 3200 and 4200 offer great, basic navigation with turn-by-turn spoken directions, pre-loade maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and 1.3 million POIs. The 3210 and Magellan Maestro 4210 add maps for Canada and Alaska, AAA travel information (see details below) and bump you up to 6 million POIs.

I first purchased the 3250 but only used it for about a week before switching to the Magellan Maestro 4210. The major differences between the two are the voice recognition commands, the bluetooth connectivity, and live traffic compatibility. The voice recognition on the 3250 did not work very well as it was very finicky in recognizing any commands. The car had to be as quiet as possible, no radio. The bluetooth feature worked well enough but callers on the other end said calls sounded strange. Traffic is not an issue in my locale so this feature wasn’t going to be used. Once I saw the Magellan 4210 was on sale locally for less, I made the switch and I’m very satisfied with the Magellan 4210. All the features function very well and I don’t miss anything from the 3250. The larger screen is a must-have.

The Magellan Maestro 4210 does connect to the satellites quicker than the 800 but is not as accurate. My home address is about 3 miles away from where the Magellan 4210 says it is… The position hops back and forth between the road I’m driving and any parallel roads nearby - and it always tries to reroute me when it thinks I’m on a different road. Problems I did not have with the 800. Only ATMs POI’s show up on the map as I am driving. And only the female voice is available.
