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: $536 TomTom GO 300

The TomTom GO 300's features and design are universally easy to master for basic navigation. But other models are unanimously seen as stronger navigators with more innovative features.

MSRP: $501 Harman Kardon Guide + Play 810

The Harman Kardon Guide + Play 810 is a premier device that successfully blends GPS navigation with the Harman Kardon brand's reputation for quality audio and video.

MSRP: $190 Garmin nuvi 350

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 Garmin nuvi 250

The Garmin nuvi 250 excels at inexpensive yet astoundingly accurate GPS navigation, but it offers little to none of the convenience features many shoppers are looking for.
