4.0 out of 5 stars Clarification on unit specs. - Magellan Maestro 5310, July 2, 2008

By	Daphne Santiago (Manassas, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Magellan Maestro 5310 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

Just to clarify: I own this unit and while it's exactly what I was looking for (needing neither Bluetooth nor Voice Command) I can clarify the inaccurate information stated above - the 5310 has neither of these features. The Magellan Maestro 4050 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator has both features available for those who are interested. It is possible that we'll see Voice Command came out as an upgrade for the 5310 as it did for the 4050, but it's not there now. That said, this is a great little unit with a large, easy-to-read screen, great AAA extras, good maps and a very intuitive user interface. I'd highly recommend it and at $350 Amazon has one of the best prices I've seen (it's $500 elsewhere).

1.0 out of 5 stars 5310 Customer Service is Crap on a Cracker, November 9, 2008

By	J. Holt (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Magellan Maestro 5310 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

Sirs,
I recently purchased a 5310 GPS on 10/30/2008 at Costco for my HVAC business and I was shocked to learn the 5310 GPS unit with a production date of 10/01/2008 has a map that is from 2006/2007 and the update due in the first quarter of 2009 will cost $[...] more, and would not be provided for me at no cost, I learned this after speaking to your resolution specialists.

This is my second unit I also own a 4040, I did buy the upgrade for this unit 6 months ago.

Any reasonable person would expect to receive the latest software with a new unit, the Garmen units we own are provided with the most current software at NOCHARGE, so when I return this unit even though I like it because of its intuitive capability you have no one to blame but your poor customer service and unrealistic company policies.

So in closing I repeat the 5310 and their Customer Service is Crap on a Cracker

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it so far!, July 15, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Magellan Maestro 5310 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I got my Magellan Maestro 5310 today and tested it thoroughly. This is my first GPS Navigator and I liked it a lot. It works with no problems.

Pros: It talks a lot: the actions you take, the street names, warning for approaching turns, etc. and bells/chimes at the turning points... Route recalculation takes about 3 seconds. Big screen is awesome. Satellite connection is perfect in Texas. The accuracy is about 4-5 meters. And it is full of POI.

Cons: So far the only con can be the difficulty to connect the cradle with the swivel mount. It's not easy to push the cradle all the way down until it locks in place with the swivel mount. Don't force it, it will break, or don't mount the Magellan Maestro 5310 before having those two pieces lock perfectly. What I did was to put some soap on the tabs and the holes and then the cradle slides and locks without forcing it.
