2.0 out of 5 stars Magellan Upgrade - Less for your dollar, November 10, 2009

Although the upgrade was what was advertised it was very little for the amount paid. For what is being charged for upgrades you can buy a new GPS every couple of years and forego the upgrades. With that said, very easy installation and the instructions were spot on. Good job on the technical stuff and ease of installation. Just too damned expensive for what you got.

1.0 out of 5 stars not really current, May 1, 2010

This review is from: Magellan 2009 One-Time U.S. Map Update for Magellan GPS Navigators (SD Card) (Electronics)

I purchased the so-called update from Magellan when they sent me an email that my Roadmate was in need of one, only to find that major road changes made three years ago in my state were not included. As I travel extensively, I also noticed major road changes in other states (i.e. The Big Dig in Boston) were not in the "update." I complained directly to Magellan that I felt duped, but despite the fact they said they would get back to me, they didn't. If you purchase this, go to an area where you know the traffic pattern changed over the past few years and see if Magellan's "update" reflects the change. If not, send it back for a refund. Also, in the update, they changed the interface screens, using smaller fonts and making the screen less user-friendly. The touch-screen buttons also function differently than the original software. Buyer beware.

My experience with the Magellan Maestro GPS was bad from the start....it's inability to find a satellite often kept it 'searching' for 10 minutes at a time (normally, long after I had missed the correct street or turn). Then the GPS wouldn't recognize when I was starting from a new location, and would map out from the last location I visited, no matter how many times I would turn the system on and off or reset. As a last resort, I purchased this map, thinking that the updates would help the GPS run smoother. WRONG!! Not only did it start auto-suggesting unrecognizable street names as I plugged in the information, but it wouldn't recognize places it had been before the GPS was updated with the map. And God forbid that a street had the initial 'N' for 'North' as part of the name. The system would start calling it something really weird, and if you are depending on the audio directions while you drive, it can be very confusing when you are expecting to here NORTH Main Street and the system calls it something else. The last thing, and probably worst of all, is that once you load this map on your system, you're done. Doesn't matter if you lose the GPS, if you return the GPS (as I did) or if the GPS crashes. This is a ONE USE ONLY map, and for this type of money, you should at least have some type of recourse if you have problems using it.
