2 Stars FAIR
I have shipped this one back and received a new one. The first one I received looked used not new. However, the performance of this unit is not great. I liked the roadmate 800 better. The 800 was faster all the way around. The maestro takes too long to re-route and way too long to search for a point of interest, sometimes as much as 1 minute to locate a POI. The POI editor is too complicated ot figure out and I could not get it to work. I installed the updated firmware for this unit and it did not help at all. There is also a quirkey deal with a message indicating that battery power is being used and it is not. Maybe the next firmware update will take care of this if one is ever developed.
Magellan also charges for map updates which I believe are pricey $ 79.00 bucks! I believe these should be free.
The traffic feature works OK, however has not yet informed me of anything I didn’t know. After the free 3 month subscription, I will nor be subscribing again.
I would definately consider buying another brand next time .
2 Stars Magellan maps worthless zoomed out
The Magellan Maestro 5310 is a great screen size but is worthless if you want to see more than a few blocks ahead. At 1/2 mile zoom level you lose all county roads. Zoom out another level and you only see interstates and a few state roads. No city or town names any where. SD card is only for transferring routes..
I want to tour the country. These maps are only helpful for seeing a few blocks ahead in town. I returned it after 3 days.
4 Stars overall pretty good…
overall the Magellan Maestro 5310 is pretty good, i’ve read that the garmin are slightly better however i chose the magellan because i am able to switch routing type while in route such as (avoid freeway, easy route, shortest route) etc. while with the garmin there is a series of hoops you have to jump through to change and it isn’t dynamic.
the Magellan didn’t get the last star from me is because of the power chord/plug issue. if you move it while plugged in it very easily disconnects and you have to move it again to get it to register as connected. however if you plug it in and have a good connection, just leave it be and don’t move it. play with it after the charge. I havent tried the ac adapter for the car yet.
overall the magellan is way super user friendly and great to use.
5 Stars Magellan Maestro 5310
The product has functioned as expected … it came with a dashboard mounting assembly and not the windscreen mount as was specified on the original box. The product was delivered expeditiously after the order was confirmed.
