Buy Magellan Maestro 4370 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator at Amazon
So far so good with this refurb. It came with all the parts but one and that was a tiny safety screw for the mount that I can pick up at the hardware. I was able to register the device with Magellan no problem.
The Magellan did boot up with a CE Operating System error first time but, was a message that said to reboot and report if it continues. So far it has not come back. (TomTom OS has never error-ed)
The SMS texting feature does not work (Paired with BlackBerry). Magellan has a disclaimer on the text feature. It only works on some cell phones.
Using the hands free calling does work. The sound quality on the receiving end “from the built in speaker” is not the greatest.
Using the factory warranty (well) I hope it never comes up. I did buy the SquareTrade warranty with this to be safe.
No trial period on the Traffic Service so I have not turned it on yet.
My TomTom was and is still great and after 2 years my stepson has it. I needed a bigger screen and read good things on Megellan while shopping.
I’ve had many GPSes. This is the best of them. It has many features, so many, that some of them are not even emphasized/mentioned/described in the manual. For example,
1. Auto-Zoom: I love it. It is very “aggressive” changing the zoom and angle depending on how far the next maneuver is. I always see what I want: from an overview of next few miles to a close-up of my next turn.
2. Volume Level based on current speed: other GPS are too loud when driving 20mph and too quiet when driving 75mph. Maestro 4370 adjusts sound volume level to the speed.
3. It turns itself on/off when you start/stop the car.
4. You can choose from ABC/QWERTY keyboards (ABC is a show-stopper for me). Keys that are invalid at a certain point of entering an address are disabled - great feature reducing keyboard errors.
5. Offers to save location when external power is disconnected.
6. AAA POI/ratings database.
7. Route options: it shows you on a map 4 routes created using different routing parameters. Routes are drawn with different colors. What a joy!
8. The screen is high resolution and beautiful.
9. Next maneuver commands are clear and given ahead of time. You have plenty of time to get to the best lane. Plus, 4370 has lane guidance/assist.
10. GPS fix time is very good.
11. FM traffic reception is good.
12. POI database is pretty good.
13. One-touch POI access is a great feature.
14. Tells street side of the destination.

Decent, not great:
1. BT hand-free calling could be louder and more reliable. Perhaps, my phone (ATI Tilt) is not 100% compatible.
2. No phone book import over BT.
3. The touch screen is not always perfectly responsive. Maybe, I have to get used to this particular device.
4. The screen is gorgeous, but reflective.
This is a very good deal! I had several others before but this one is the winner
based on it’s built quality, features & cheap price.
I received it in a retail factory refurbished box including all new contents.
The GPS unit itself was just like brand new with protective shield on front & back.
No sign of use at all ! Booted up as a fresh factory product.
The Magellan software & Firmware update process was smooth & easy & I did update
my unit to the latest version in a minute after I installed it’s Windows software.
The Map screen is clean & easy to read. Also, TTS guide voice is smooth & loud.
Make sure you fully charge the unit before it can detect satellite signals for first time use.
Bluetooth connection setup was very easy & it quickly paired with my Motorola Net10 Cellphone.
I had no problem to setup FM transmitter as well.
Since this GPS unit has built-in 2GB flash memory for map software, you will have full
space of your SDHC memory card for your media to load (It is working with my 8GB SDHC
card with no problem). It’s playback quality is very good for all Photos, Mp3s & Video.
But, be aware that it only plays .Avi video files with Xvid codec for video & “PCM” for audio
which doubles the total file size of your video files (Currently It can not play .avi files with mp3 audio codec!
Magellan people are aware of this issue & working on it to post a new Firmware update soon)
This is an Excellent buy & you will save $300 !
