Ready to pay extra for Map Updates:

I bought this Costco and have used it fairly across USA and Canada. Though the product is fine there are some quirks that everyone should know about -
[1] Wall Charger is not included. Unit takes around 3 hours in the car to be charged completely.
[2] Updates need a full battery. Quite difficult if you dont have an AC Charger.
[3] Map updates cost $79.99.
[4] Non-existent Magellan customer service.
[5] Slow GPS acquisition.
[6] No MP3 support.

ok, but not great.:

If you want a GPS that gets you from point A to point B then this does that. But if you want a GPS that gets you from point A to point B without any issues then I would look elsewhere.

Magellan Maestro 3140 GPS:

Worked ok, but maps were not as good or as accurate as my Handheld Garmin GPS. No longer own it.

Much better than old Road Mate:

The Maestro 3140 seems much better than old Magellan RoadMate. It generally loads quickly and most directions seem fairly accurate. The Points of Interest is not real complete or accurate but can often be helpful for many things. My unit sometimes gets right and left confused. The map is usually correct but spoken directions are somethings the opposite but I usually look at map to get better feel for location and degree of turn.
