Our Opinion

The Maestro 3200 has some great features.  The map is extensive, with tons of points of interest.  The screen is reasonable easy to read, and battery life is very good for a color portable.

Recalculation of routes can take some time, bad for quick route decision making.  Sometimes the routing is not perfect, but overall the routing is good. Not a lot of extra features, but a solid GPS unit for the $150 and under niche.

We recommend the Magellan Maestro 3200 as a great budget GPS system.
