Magellan Maestro 4700 is the Navigator You are Searching For
I have just returned from a road trip, and I thought I was smart because I didn't need a GPS device for my car because I have a iPhone 3GS. Needless to say, I was lost for half of my trip, not because the iPhone didn't work, but because AT&T simply does not exist in Wyoming or South Dakota. I still need an in car GPS, and the Magellan Maestro 4700 is the one I want. It won't suffer the same fatal flaw that my iPhone suffers from; it will still get me to where I am going in the middle of nowhere. Which, when you think about it, is really when you need a good GPS unit.

The Magellan Maestro 4700 has some very intriguing features. It includes a beautiful 4.7 inch display, doubles as a hands-free, Bluetooth enabled calling device, and it has a pedestrian mode. It also can give you traffic updates and predictive traffic updates. The cool part about predictive traffic updates is that it will help you chart a course based on past traffic patterns considering your destination and travel times; predictive traffic updates alone are worth the purchase price in my opinion. You also get the standard Magellan GPS features including One-touch favorites, 3D Landmarks, and the essential "Find My Car Feature".

I understand there was a time where we didn't need GPS units, and we could get by with maps. Those times were horrible. If you are dependant on a GPS device, there is no substitute; not even the iPhone 3GS with turn-by-turn directions. You can get asatellite connection almost everywhere, and AT&T may have "more bars in more places", but they don't have any at Mount Rushmore or Deadwood South Dakota. The Magellan Maestro 4700 would be a fine navigation companion and it only costs $249 for the car mount, charger, USB cable, charger, and carrying case.
