I had a 3250. It lost sound. Had it fixed. Lost sound again and display burned out. Magellan replaced it. Second one lost sound. Second one had display burn out. Bought a GARMIN…a real GPS.

Hi, I purchased the Maestro 4250 in May last year abnd the map was already out of date. lots of new areas in montreal DIX30 etc were not on it. So far so good. It is not a reliable kit. It just stopped me at wrong destinations for over 10 times. Difference is by 1 kilometer. In addition, it instructed me to turn in a one way street just after crossing Jean Tallon from autoroute 40. what a mess!!!
my recnet trip to Ottawa was memorable as it kept on losing the signals every 2 minutes.I think they should think of changing business. Phone today. They will assist only on equipment bought 16 months earlier and mine is 18 months. My 350 dollars kit from Costco just goes to drain as I will throw it away. I Regret my choice.

It won’t work. The bluetooth profile loaded on most GPS devices including the 4250 is for hands free calling. It expects to be handed audio from a phone. It cannot be used to send its own audio to any other device.

When driving, I cannot hear my Maestro 4250 over the noise from the car radio. I would like to pair it with a bluetooth headset or speaker, but have been un successful. Any ideas?

For those of you on this site. Would you recommend the Maestro 4200 or the 3250? I’ve not owned a GPS system before and am very confused. Thanks.

I already contacted the company. There are no voices to add to the Magellan. There are extra voices for Tom Tom and Garmin, but not for Magellan. I was told “we are working on it for the future”.

I don’t know of any sources for additional Maestro voices.

I just bought a refurbished Magellan 4250. I’m pretty sure that I read somewhere that voices could be downloaded to this unit. For the life of me, I cannot find downloadable voices anywhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
