Magellan Maestro 4200 Preview

The Magellan Maestro 4200 doesn't offer as many doo-dads as other top-selling devices, but it does have convenience features like QuickSpell, an auto fill feature with spell-check, and SmartDetour, a trademark Magellan extra that allows drivers to avoid traffic. But if you're interested in features like voice command or Bluetooth connectivity, an upgrade to the Magellan Maestro 4250 will be necessary.

The Magellan Maestro 4200 is available for purchase now. A full review is coming soon.

Other GPS Devices to Consider

MSRP: $190 Garmin nuvi 350

GPS writers say the Garmin nuvi 350 is a breeze to use. From the moment you turn it on and wait briefly for it to boot, the 350 is simple to program and reliable to get you where you need to go. Its only real flaw is time -- several years after its introduction on the market, its features are less-than-exciting compared to newer affordable GPS.

MSRP: $250 Navigon 2100

While most manufacturers are trying to impress with you flash and color, Navigon 2100 chooses to woo you with its simplicity.

MSRP: $186 Mio Moov 310

The Mio Moov 310 gets a mixed response from reviewers. On one hand, they like that its MSRP is easy on the wallet, but on the other hand, they feel there is better performance to be had among inexpensive GPS devices.

MSRP: $299 Mio DigiWalker C520

A great device for going against the grain, the Mio DigiWalker C520 offers abundant features for its price class, and an easy-to-use 4.3-inch touchscreen. However, some say its navigation capabilities are not superior to other mid-range GPS devices.
