I have owned a Magellan 3200 since last Christmas. I have little comprehension of GPS, but much for computers, so I balance out a little. The 3200 is small and useful, and works great for time lax users who don’t know their roads.
Pros
Quick: has enough speed to keep up with the user inputting addresses.
Simple: has none of the bells and whistles that should never be on a driving assisting device in the first place. Just a simple GPS device
Cheap: I managed mine for $80
Flexible: Changes its route when you make a “wrong turn” and avoids U-turns.
Cons
Slow Satellite pickup: It takes at least a minute or two for it to begin receiving signals from the satellites. NOT good if you’re in a hurry
Pathetic POI: Has many POI, but none that you would be interested in. I tried to get directions to a military base, no luck.
maybe if we bought one of those universal antennas to add to the Magellan Maestro 3200 already built-in antenna, the picking up of signals would get better?
You can check out our Acquiring Satellites tips, and if there are compatible external antennas, those can sometimes help too.
Correction: This unit does have an altimeter and compass. Nice budget driving unit. Easy to use.
No, the Maestro does not have a barometric altimeter and it does not have an electronic compass.
I’ve had this unit for a year and it is buggy. Frequently tries to have me turn down roads not there and takes me off route just to have me do a u-turn. Complaints fall on deaf ears at Magellan. I do not recommend buying this unit.
I just got my Magellan Maestro 3200 the 1st of April. The simplicty of using and setting it up is great. I haven’t used it on a long trip yet but it’s great for going around to the different towns. I live in a small town in southern Illinios. We travel from one town to another and the GPS is great.
