Magellan Maestro 4040

 

A large screen, fresh new user interface, AAA's TourBook functionality, and a great price make the Maestro 4040 a compelling in-car navigation device.

Large, 4.3 inch screen. New, improved user interface. AAA TourBook and roadside-assistance location. Powered by SiRFStar III receiver. Supports multisegment routing and is upgradable to live traffic and voice commands.

Bluetooth phone interface isn't as robust as on other GPS products. No auto-zoom or auto-volume ability.

A large screen, fresh new user interface, AAA's TourBook functionality, and a great price make the Maestro 4040 a compelling in-car navigation device.

A Review of the Magellan Maestro 4040

 

Prices have come down quite a bit and the GPS units have more features. Are they really worth it?

Magellan Maestro 4040 Review

Magellan Maestro 4000, 4040, 4050 Review

 

CNet has a decent review of the new Magellan Maestro line, including the Maestro 4000, Maestro 4040, and the Maestro 4050 (kindof). They also include a brief cool video that walks you through the unit (links below). The line starts with a widescreen...

Magellan Maestro 4040 Review

 

Maestro is Magellan's latest GPS product line, and the company's first wide-screen GPS. This week I tested the Maestro 4040 model, putting the unit through GPSmagazine's usual rigorous testing criteria. How does Maestro compare to previous Magellan GPS...

Magellan Maestro 4040 GPS satnav device

 

Switch on the Magellan Maestro 4040 GPS satnav device and you're immediately ready to roll.

If you want a GPS that's quick to locate a signal, gives you a better speaker for speakerphone conversations, and features a large, bright screen, the Magellan Maestro 4040 is a worthy option - as long as you don't mind spending £200. (You can find it...

Great GPS

 

I ended up muting the voice on my last trip because it kept reminding me to "stay on current route" every 10 miles on the freeway. Routes are pretty good for the most part, the 4 simple options (fastest time, shortest distance, mostly freeways, mostly...

Great little device. The voice is loud and clear. Bluetooth speakerphone is GREAT. The people i talk to can't tell the difference between the speakerphone and just using my phone. Menu is simple and responsive

Losing one egg because the maps somewhat outdated. So far i've only run into one area that is not in the map yet. Haven't bothered with the (paid) map updates. No mac compatible software for setting up POIs and Address Book

Recertified: MAGELLAN Maestro 4040 4.3" Automotive GPS Receiver

 

I'd buy one again!

Cheap (it's ""recertified,"" which caused me to be reluctant about getting it at first, but it really is just like new! also, the warranty is better than the one that comes with the new gps's) -widescreen, which is a good thing if you're to be working...

Blue tooth allows you to hear callers very clearly, but the caller hears a bunch of fuzz -the touchscreen isn't super duper sensitive, but it does the job
