No response from Magellan |
|
After using a borrowed Tom Tom and Garmin we decided to purchase the Magellan Maestro 4700 as our first GPS. On our first trip out with it the touch screen was not responsive and when I touched it the fourth time it cracked under the screen. I must add that I am a very careful person and know beyond a doubt that I didn't 'touch' it too heavy. I telephoned Magellan technical support and explained what happened to them and was told the problem was not covered under warrenty. I then wrote a letter to Magellan explaining in full detail the experience and suggesting the screen material may have been faulty. I never received a response from them. This was our first GPS purchase and we were looking forward to having it on our travels, but that is not to be. We will not purchase another Magellan even though it did have the features we were shopping for. |

Great GPS! |
|
I purchased this for my husband for his birthday. He loves it. He travels all over Texas and 98% of the time it takes him exactly where he needs to go. So now I've decided to purchase the same one for my 18 year old daughter and myself. |

A Bad Experience |
|
First the item arrived after I left for my trip for which I made the purchase. Thumbs down to Vacheronwatch. On returning from my vacation, I thought of keeping it since my old one needed a replacement. Turned it on and found that the traffic alerts needs a seperate purchase of $40/- more. After charging it the screen started flickering continously. Had enough with this POS. Returned it to Vacheronwatch. I guess Magellan is no longer what it used to be. |

There are better options |
|
I would not buy this product again. It takes longer to "load" than any GPS I have owned. Sometimes we have had to wait more than five minutes. |

Very Poor/Dysfunctional Map Updating Software and Process |
While recognizing good, with some exception, efforts of the company technical support to help me, I am very unhappy with their software functionality associated with free map update provided by the 30 days guaranty. I have already spent total 2 hours on phone with their tech support who were trying to help me to utilize that feature, using my two different computers, but no success.
The Magellan Content Manager - software supplied by the company - in most attempts doesn't find update that should exists on the company website, and if it does find it, the cost remains "BUY", despite specific instructions by company e-mail that the cost should be "FREE", as per its 30 days guaranty policy.
The next step, I was told, the issue to be escalated to the company headquarters...
I am very much disappointed with my purchase - a huge waste of time. Somehow, we become prisoners of electronic devices around us, which an issue itself...
