1 Star WORSE COMPANY I’VE EVER DELT WITH
I BOUGHT A MAGELLAN GPS AND HAD IT ONE DAY AND IT QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT BACK AND EXCHANGED IT FOR ANOTHER MAGELLAN. I HAD THIS ONE FOR 33 DAYS AND IT QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE STORE WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID I HAD TO SEND IT BACK TO THE COMPANY BECAUSE I HAD IT OVER 30 DAYS. I SENT IT BACK TO THE COMPANY REQUESTING A REFUND DUE TO THAT BEING THE SECOND DEFECTIVE GPS. MAGELLAN REFUSED TO GIVE A REFUND, ORIGINALLY STATING THAT IT WAS BECAUSE WE BOUGHT THE UNIT FROM SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN MAGELLAN, AND TOLD ME I HAD TO GET A REFURBISHED GPS INSTEAD. EVEN AFTER ARGUING THE FACT THAT THIS STORE WAS AUTHORIZED TO SELL THE UNITS, AND AFTER SENDING LETTERS TO MAGELLAN’S PRESIDENT, NELSON CHAN, I WAS REFUSED A REFUND, AND I WAS SENT A REFURBISHED UNIT.
WAY TO GO MAGELLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MIGHT NOT HAVE RECEIVED A REFUND FOR YOUR PIECE OF JUNK, BUT AFTER HEARING OF MY EXPERIENCES WITH MAGELLAN, I KNOW OF NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WHO HAVE SHOPPED AND BOUGHT ELSEWHERE, WHICH TO ME, HAS MORE THAN MADE UP FOR NOT GETTING THE REFUND. HOPEFULLY THIS REVIEW WILL KEEP SOMEONE FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE.
2 Stars Shipped wrong item
I ordered and paid for a 4050 and when i tried to update the firmware, discovered I was actually sent a 4040. Shame on Amazon.
2 Stars Pretty good…despite software problems
I”m a regular guy with an average knowledge of computers and computer programs.
I can’t get any of the software to install for my Magellan. The firmware update simply will not install itself onto the unit. It *could* be my computer, but if I’m having this issue with mine, surely others are as well. Nor can I install the custom POI’s program either. It gives me a error code which the online Magellan support does nothing to help for.
Despite the software problems, we like it. It gets us where we need to go easily.
4 Stars Another drawback in Magellan Maestro 4050
I bought my Magellan Maestro 4050 about six months ago on Amazon.com. Sofar I am pleased with all the features and its functioning, but still a bit dissatisfied when I was holding my GPS 4050 at point A and tried to get direction from point B to point C. Magellan Maestro does not have that route. So when you have your GPS 4050 in your hand at point A, you can not make a map direction from point B to point C like you can make through Yahoo map or Google map. I don’t know why GPS makers do not think about that?????? Another drawback that sometimes the Bluetooth froze and the touch screen doesnot respond. I have to push a reset on side to make it work.
5 Stars Great GPS!
This is a very handy little gadget. I have had many uses for it already. The amopunt of information contained in this little unit is amazing! Well worth the money.
