Magellan Maestro 4700 Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

This GPS gives intelligent routing and is very easy to use. I compared it in road tests with a Garmin 765T. I’m returning the Garmin.

I am not intending to try to disparage Garmin here. I’m hoping to let you know with what I am comparing this GPS when I say it is excellent. After all, only these two GPS’es comprise my hands-on experience with such units.

The benefit I want most from a GPS is accurate navigation assistance. Magellan delivers on this and the Garmin does not. That’s about it and that’s my main point. The Magellan excelled at keeping me on the best roads and getting me to my destinations with minimal stress and frustration. The Garmin 765T often told me to turn one way while the arrow pointed the other way and seems to prefer looping FAR around cities regardless of the chosen routing options and traffic conditions. The Garmin even took me off interstates for no reason and then put me back on the same road 20 miles later to continue the trip.
