subject: Tips When Looking For Your Magellan Maestro 4700 GPS [print this page] Before you buy your next GPS system, take a look at the Magellan Maestro 4700 GPS. It's loaded with useful features and priced extremely well. Among the most notable features are the 16% larger 4.7" screen, one touch search function, bluetooth technology, voice command, triple A tourbook guide, closest gas button, 6 million points of interest, highway lane assist, 4 routing choices and several others.
Most people were impressed with the ease of installation, it worked from the very start right out of the box, update downloading via USB cables was quick and easy and powering up was quick too.
Also noted was the time it took to finish routing, from starting point to final destination took approximately 45 seconds. Two features people like very much are the highway lane assist feature and predictive traffic feature. There's nothing worse than being in the wrong lane when exiting the freeway and having to make u turns and trying to pry into that filled lane next to you. Along with that, frustration can be avoided by diverting around known traffic tie ups in your route.
The two things I personally like about this unit is the spoken street name guide with the text to speech feature and the lost car feature. You never have to take your eyes off the road with the spoken street guide, which provides for a safe experience for you and your passengers. You are given clear and precise directions at all times. The lost car feature allows you to find your car in parking lots, airports, malls, universities, amusement parks, or stadiums where you sometimes forget where you parked. It's a breeze to locate your car with this feature!
Mentioned above were the 4 routing choices. First is the fastest know route, second is the shortest known route, not always the fastest. Third is the most freeway used route and 4th and final is the least freeway used route. It's your choice, pick which one is best for you.
