 "It's just ok" 2009-12-22
By J. Hannah (Orlando, FL)
I just switched from Garmin because my Garmin 1490T would reboot constantly, stutter badly when speaking and the keyboard was slow and unresponsive. That said the Garmin is light years ahead of this unit in terms of features. For example on the Garmin I can choose a 3D map that stays on all the time, choose a different voice / language, a different vehicle icon and the list goes on and on. It's very customizable whereas this unit is not. I personally like Garmin better for many many reason but since their quality control seems to have slipped with their software I was forced to look for an alternative.



This unit has some nice features NOT found on the Garmin such as voice recognition however it will not accept a destination via voice by address. Magellan does NOT provide a free map upgrade and the unit I got came with the 2008 maps. Garmin allows 1 free map update so that you can get the latest maps. The mounting cradle is not as sturdy on this unit and it seems to flex and move around if you're trying to use the keyboard while it's stuck to the windshield. I have no idea why but this unit insists on having you input the city for every destination rather than using your current position. Garmin on the other hand assumes that you are looking for a destination in the current city unless you change it first which is an option but not required for each address entry.



My opinion, when Garmin gets their software sorted out I'm switching back. Until then I'll use Magellan.

 "It's... okay. I may go back to Garmin." 2009-12-21
By Alex Grubbs (Texas)
Well... I bought this GPS, after owning a Garmin Nuvi 205. It looked nice, and had some pretty nice features compared to the Nuvi 205. ... Well! When I first got it, it was a complete piece of crap. Every 5 miles it would restart itself to "increase performance" - something that apparently never worked. After Magellan released a firmware update, it fixed that. But this unit has no idea where it is! Whenever I drive by a street and look at the map, the annoying blue triangle is still, in many cases, not yet even to the street I just passed! I've learned to use my imagination to picture a red triangle ahead of Magellan's deficient blue one, as my real position. No other GPS I have ever used has had that problem! It is ridiculous for a GPS this new. Anyway... a lot of the features are cool... but this GPS is just "okay". I would not buy it (unless they fix the pinpointing issue). Oh well... I'll go back to overpriced Garmin or something.

 "Not worth the money, even refurbished." 2009-12-21
By Thomas F. Gilling (Chatham, NY)
An attractive device that is difficult to turn off when you just don't want it glaring in your face and it has one of the most tinny female voices I have heard in a long time. It did blue-tooth to my Motorola w385, however!

 "Great device, few complaints" 2009-12-20
By N. Walter (United States)
This is the third GPS I've owned the first two being two iterations of an Alpine blackbird. Coming from the blackbird, the 4700 is nearly a perfect match for the feature set with the added bonus of (hopefully) regular map updates and more reliable hardware.



The rich featureset in this device is outstanding, I love the AAA tourbook. Before buying anything I went to the stores and spent a considerable amount of time trying out different interfaces and the Magellan is far superior in every aspect, I found myself quickly frustrated with the Garmin and TomTom interfaces. Magellan is spot on with a clear, easy to use, intuitive interface. My main complaint coming from the blackbird is the fact that this unit is entirely touch screen based, and while a touch screen is great somethings are just more easily accomplished using hard external buttons. Adjusting the volume while driving requires you to take your eyes off the road instead of just feeling for an external volume button, the same applies to zooming in and out.



The voice command definitely sucks, I can get a few of them to work reliably but things like ATM location and where am I don't work at all. I'm sure it's just subject to the usual voice command problems of different accents and different pronunciations just like those wonderful voice prompt phone systems that leave you frustrated and wanting to throw your phone at the nearest brick wall.



Directions seem pretty spot on atleast for the areas I've been in so far. In my experience with these devices is that they are a driving aid and generally get you to the general area you are trying to get to but are subject to the limitations and failures of the mapdata (navteq) which is subject to the limitations and failures of the people out in the field recording the map data. So if you get to your destination and it's on the wrong side of the street or a block off on the numbering it's not necessarily the GPS it's the maps, also keep in mind that streets, routes, and exits change sometimes quicker than the map makers can update them.



Software update, software update, software update. Mine came with v 1.27 and my initial impression out of the box was disappointment but once I updated to the latest (2.07) it was almost like a whole different device. The software update is free, just register on magellan's website.



AAA - AAA is the best thing in the world, and if you are a member you can register your device with magellan/AAA and get a free one year extension on the warranty so if you buy this at a regular store don't get scammed into buying their extended warranty and you will get one free from AAA. If I didn't mention this before the AAA data is great and is something i've wanted integrated into a GPS for quite a few years now, kudos to magellan an AAA for parternering and making such a wonderful device feature. IMO, this feature alone puts Magellan above and beyond any other GPS.

 "Maps Spring of 2008 Purchased Nov. 2009" 2009-12-18
By ApolloFlorida (Florida)
Let me begin by saying Magellan makes a good product. But they are not being honest with us buyers. The maps on this are from Spring 2008 it is now almost 2010 you might get a good deal on this GPS but plan on paying 79 dollars to update the maps. I think its dishonest of Magellan putting almost two yearold maps and waiting until many purchasers have the product before releasing new map updates then charging us for them. Deal with them at your own risk. This is no reflection of Amazon (they are the best) only the Magellan management team.
