    Duration of ownership: 7 Months

    Strengths: Seems to work well when not acting up

    Weaknesses:Customer service is not just non existent, it is useless.

    Overall Evaluation: If you are lucky, your 4250 will work as promised out of the box. Mine did not. The touch screen would lock up making it unusable. It took 6 months, many emails (mostly unanswered), and many hours on the phone before receiving a workable replacement unit. Any product is no better than its support. I will not be buying another Magellan product.

    Strengths: LARGER SCREEN,SWLIM DESIGN,STYLISH,

    Weaknesses:ACCURCY IS OFF BY 10 METERS,LACK OF ABILITY TO CONTROL CONTRAST AND COLOR. VOLUME IS TOO LOW TO OVERCOME ROAD NOISE.LACK OF MP3 AND JPEG FOLDERS.

    Overall Evaluation: I HAD UPGRADD FRON A MAGELLAN 760 MODEL AND FOUND THAT MY 3 YEAR OLD MODEL HAS A FASTER ACQUIRE TIME AND IS MORE ACCURATE SHOWING MY CARS POSITION AT AN INTERSECTION. I ALSO HAVE A MODEL 2200 FOR MY MOTORCYCLE WHICH DESPITE HAVING A SMALLER SCREEN HAS MORE OPTION THAN THIS MODEL. MAGELLAN HAS DISAPPOINTED ME THIS PURSCASE.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Slim, nice features, Bluetooth.

    Weaknesses:Poor reliability, voice features don?t work all that great, there are probably more drawbacks but it didn?t work long enough to discover them.

    Overall Evaluation: Ever wonder why there are so many refurbished Magellan products available? Apparently it is because they fail by the hundreds, or perhaps thousands. This is my third Magellan GPS and it is the third one to exhibit problems. The first model (700) had display problems, the (800) had the hard drive fail and this one failed within a few weeks unable to complete startup. Magellan say it?s a common problem. Magellan should change their slogans from ?turn it on and go? to ?turn it on and wait?, and ?never lost? to ?never works?.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Display and clear voice prompts

    Weaknesses:Poor quality directions

    Overall Evaluation: While this unit is good if you get lost, when I tried to map certain routes that I was familiar with, I found the directions poor, i.e., it advised me to take a considerably longer route than I would have chosen myself. I therefore find myself using this only when I don't otherwise know the way (and try to get directions off mapquest before I set out, to minimize those occasions when I am reliant on the GPS.) As an example of the frustrating directions, one time, the GPS thought I was on the lower deck of the George Washington Bridge, rather than the upper deck. It should have known because the approach I took, from the Palisades parkway, leads to only the upper level. The turns off the bridge, whether to right or left are the opposite for the two levels of the bridge, so if I had not known how to get off the bridge to the next road, I would have taken a completely wrong turn.
