Amazon.com Product Description -- November 13, 2007:
We've been big fans of Magellan's Maestro line since it came out in early 2006. The Maestro interface is incredibly easy to use, even for those who are not completely comfortable with electronics. At the same time, Magellan was ahead of the industry with useful innovations like multi-destination routing and pre-loaded reviews for points of interest like hotels and restaurants (from AAA). With it's 3200 and 4200 series, Magellan has improved the Maestro line giving them a SirfStar III chipset that provides super-fast. satellite lock and making them thinner. In fact, at .7 inches, these are -- at the time of this writing (November 2007), the thinnest portable GPS navigators available. Distingushing between models is also fairly easy.

Rhon B:
I have found the Magellan Maestro 3210 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator to be a small device that has BIG utility, especially because I purchased a small leather carrying case which allows me take it places, even if I am not driving. I give it five stars.

Magellan 3210 GPS:
I bought this for my son who lives in Chicago. He and his wife are house-hunting in Naperville. He tells me that the Magellan has worked fantastic! He is very happy with it. I have a Model #3100 and it works great for me too. My only complaint is the cost of updating the maps, more than half the original cost of the device.

Great to use~:
I just moved to another country and not familiar with the environment. When I wanna go some place, I always use it. Very convenient. Just a little small.

Everyone should have one.:
I have had a Magellan GPS for over a year. In September I purchased one for my daughter and son-in-law who are now using it on a trip. These things are fantastic and I would be without one. In the future I will be purchasing others for my other children. Mary Ward((ASIN:B000V4PZBY Magellan Maestro 3250 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator)

Beware:
I purchased this unit through Amazon exactly one year and three days ago. I cannot believe the misfortune of the unit working flawlessly for the entire period and now it is useless 3 days after the warranty expires! The units USB port came loose so that it will not power on and is now only a paper weight. I tried calling Magellan hoping they would be sympathetic but no such luck. Basically they said eat it pal. There was no warning period of the cable getting loose, it just collapsed on the inside and that was it. There are a very large number of re-furbished units coming from Magellan so I would beware. I am purchasing a Garmin hoping that the build quality will last over the one year period. Very dissatisfied customer!
