User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Not complicated

I recently purchased mine. So far, very simple to use. I look forward to sitting down and going thru all the options.

4 Stars Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS navigator
I purchased this item for my daughter for her birthday because I already had one. It’s convenient and for the price, it has great features. I love it!!

4 Stars Can’t tell right from left!
In general the product has excellent features considering its price making it in my opinion an excellent value. There is one anomaly which is bothersome however. At the final destination the unit frequently will inform you the destination is to the right when in reality the destination is to the left, the same being true for the other opposite final destination.

4 Stars Very nice….and reasonable
I Purchased the Maestro 3100 in July 2008, and put it to use right away. It was great, right out of the box…simple to use, and responsive.

Two things could be improved…the volume (maxed out) is very difficult to hear over the radio (turned low), and also, someone having a phone conversation in your vehicle.

The display colors could be more vibrant…they get washed out in sunlight…but, for the price ($129.00), it is a very good buy, and gets the job done.

5 Stars Magellen 3100 GPS
The best “Bang for the Buck” No Bluetooth, No MP3 Player, No loading pictures….Just a great basic GPS for your travels. The 3100 comes with a fewer number of Points of Interest than other comparable GPS units. But, you can go to the Magellan website and download or they will send you a disk for $4.95. This upgrade will give you nearly 3 times the POI.

The only “Issue” I have is that my large finger don’t always “fit” some of the selection boxes on the screen. I have found it much easier to use a PDA stylus or ball point pen with the tip retracted for making selections on the touch screen.
