Magellan 3000T |
Easy to use. |
Will occasionally lock up and freeze which requires reboot. Takes 5 - 10 mins to warm up and boot in cold weather. Does not like car vibration or sudden bumps, freezes. Sometimes takes as long as 5 mins to find satelites and indicate GPS position on a map. |

TomTom 740, Garmin 1690 & Magellan 3100 |
740 Live - IQ Routes
Garmin 1690 - 2YR data plan included; MRC for data services is to be lower than TomTom Live services |
740 Live does not announce on which side of street destination is; it shows it visvually via an arrow.
740 Live sometimes will reboot while in use. Slow to recalculate route. |

Magellan Maestro 4040 |
*Straight forward to use for most of the options
*Touch screen 16:9 wide
*Seems very accurate - love also the different route options and the split screen
*Bargain price last year (brand new) |
*The female voice has some off spellings. Sometimes they are funny though.
*Well, its a legacy model now. |

Magellan 4350 |
Easy to use out of the box.
Has AAA Tourbook.
Has a large POI database.
Fairly easy to add POI, especially with the services available here. |
Voice is a bit weak for my tastes.
Tone at turns is not selectable, like some earlier models. |

Magellan 4050 |
Los Angeles resident.
Magellan 4050 and 6000T both with realtime traffic Kits. The 6000T is more full-featured software but slower hardware. I actually prefer its OS to the 4050. 4050 Has wider, brighter screen. |
Magellan 4050T - four click operation to get at favorite addresses. No choice on navigation voice. Only shows one personal POI database at a time. |
