Pros:
4.3 screen, slim design, good build quality, nice screen, nice graphics, text-to-speech works well, acquire signal fast, uses Navteq map and routing works the way you would expect if you didn't have a GPS and had to map the route yoursself, no round-around routing, has 4 routing options, fastest, shortest, maximum freeway, minimum freeway, a compass is built-in and shown in the upper left corner, plenty of POIs, 6 million of them, good quality windshield mount
This model locks in signal EXTREMELY FAST and it works indoors too
The first time you use you may notice some screen sluggishness but after that it's very responsive, my take is that it might have to do with some kind of first-time initialization
Cons:
No home AC adapter, only car adapter, windshield mount arm is a little short, a bit heavier than most other GPS but probably due to the case but this should not be viewed as a negative
I picked this up at Costco with a $50 off coupon and at $150 this is one of the few GPS on the market that offer text-to-speech, Navteq map and 6 mil POIs. This model uses the Centrality Atlas III GPS chipset which is considered to be even better than the SIRF III chipset

This is my first GPS. Given the number of options available and brands, I could not decide so I have been shopping for many months. I decided on the Magellan since this is the brand provided by Hertz (neverlost) and I had success with these units in the rentals. What sold me was:
The feature where the unit will complete the spelling for you of objects being searched;
The 4.3" screen;
The huge POI library.
I compared to a Garmin NUVI 260 at Best Buy and it seemed the Garmin spent a lot more time thinking than did the 1412.
The huge POI library was also a plus. I entered many known POI's and the 1412 always displayed them accurately. Finally the 4.3" screen was a seller.
No complaints here and I would recommend it.

I extensively used my companies pricier Garmin a few years ago, then bought this for myself after I changed jobs.
Two features I really miss, and feel they are not exclusive to high end models; the old Garmin said "arriving at destination ON RIGHT" (or left). This one just says "arriving at destination", so I spend more time swiveling my head around looking.
The Garmin also allowed me to program stops along the way during a route execution. The Magellan 1412 will only allow you to divert to "exit points of interests" and only along a freeway. Otherwise, if you're enroute, you have to cancel the route, search for what it is your looking for, then activate that route, then re-start your original route after. Or you can preplan it all -- as if you know ahead of time where you'll be needing to find a coffe shop on an old state road.
The "Exit POI" feature is very nice, however. How many times have you been on a long road trip and flown past an exit you thought was devoid of gas stations or restaurants because there were no signs ahead? This prevents that nicely and lets you see within 15 or so miles what is coming up along a freeway.
The POIs in the database are also pretty good-- lots more categories than I had on the older Garmin.
The battery is puny, and won't hold much of a charge. Keep the power cord close by.
The window mount is excellent -- better than the Garmin I had.
The speaker is small, and a bit hard to hear if you have a noisy car.
This one does say the name of the street-- a minimum standard in all GPS in my opinion.
