Reviews: Magellan Maestro 4040 Portable Navigation Device Review

Directions Mag offers a review of the Magellan Maestro 4040 portable navigation device (with screenshots). From the review: "The Maestro certainly has many great features, not the least of which is the wide screen. It makes for easy viewing, daytime or night. At upcoming turns, the unit will change into a split screen mode so that a graphic diagram of the turn is displayed along side the map. This comes in particularly handy when approaching an off-ramp with multiple exit points, like choosing to take the north or south direction to a divided highway. [...] One of the biggest user interface negatives of the Maestro is one of its most basic features: entering a destination (Figure 7). This is generally the first step in the navigation process and it can be frustrating. Most users have the address of a destination. The Maestro starts by first asking the user to enter a zip code, a city or a previous city."

Very Spatial brings you this development from CES. From their summary : "The first bit of GPS news out of CES this year has Magellan releasing the Maestro 5340 which will include GPRS for cell network connectivity. This network connectivity will be used to connect to…you guessed it…Google search and data services. At almost $1300 for the unit it will not be for small of purse, and don’t forget the charge for the GPRS connection."
