If only the Support was good

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2007
Review: The unit performs very well. I had a Nuvi350 but it didn't provide accurate directions - this Magellan 4050 does. Overall it works well, but IF you need help DO NOT COUNT ON MAGELLAN for help. Their support is Offshore and they just follow a script...

Not all it's cracked up to be!

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2007
Review: The 4050 has dropped significantly in price. Almost half, since it's introduction to the marketplace. Must be because the 'voice command' feature is spotty! Sometimes it feels like responding accurately, but most of the time it doesn't. But dollar...

Magellan is low quality and bad support

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Low quality and bad service
Review: Do not purchase a Magellan navigator. I made the mistake of buying. Someone warned me at the time that they had problems with their Magellan but I thought it was an isolated incident. After my unit stopped working I called the Magellan support...

Steer Clear of Magellan

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2008
Review: We bought the top of the line Magellan navigation system and the internal battery became faulty after 3 months. The company would not stand by the product, which was clearly a lemon. We had multiple phone calls with their "service support" crew in...
