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. The 3200-series navigators feature a 3.5-inch screen, while the 4200s have a 4.3-inch widescreen display. The 3200 and 4200 offer great, basic navigation with turn-by-turn spoken directions, pre-loade maps of the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and 1.3 million POIs. The 3210 and 4210, add maps for Canada and Alaska, AAA travel information (see details below) and bump you up to 6 million POIs. The 3220 and 4220 add maps of Mexico. The top-of-the-line 3250 and 4250 add a host of other features, including text-to-speech directions that give real street names, bluetooth for hands-free phone calls, integrated traffic (with a free 3-month subscription), and voice command.
What Makes the Maestro 3200 Exceptional?
Easy To Use Interface
The intuitive user interface makes the Maestro series incredibly easy to use. Use the big icons on the 3.5-inch touch screen to search for your destination by address, intersection, or any of 1.3 million points of interest (POIs), including restaurants, hotels, airports, gas stations, and more. You can even touch an onscreen icon for a nearby destination, see name and address, and get an instant route. Turn by turn visual and spoken directions guide you every step of the way.
Auto re-route gets you quickly back on track whenever you make a detour or miss a turn. QuickSpell feature intelligently searches and checks spelling when you enter addresses. The 3200 offer multiple view options, including 2D, 3D, and TrueView that shows your upcoming turn using a 3D split screen. Maneuver List displays the full turn-by-turn details of your route. Auto night view adjusts color and contrast for easy night viewing

 Updated Maps and POI's November 25, 2007

28 out of 28 found this review helpful
I had the opportunity to do an in-car hands-on comparison between this unit (3200) and a slightly older Magellan Roadmate 2200T. The 3200 is smaller and has an updated look to the interface and map screen. It also responds more quickly to inputs.
The feature I like most is the ability to tap the position triangle and then scroll around the map. When you are zoomed in to closest 2 or 3 zoom levels you can scroll around the 3D map this way. On the 2200T I found I had to be in 2D map view to be able to scroll the map. Very handy feature! Also, on the 3200 the 3D view seems to be at a slightly higher angle and maybe further back. This made road curvature seem less dramatic and often gave a better view of nearby POI's.
The ability to adjust the brightness was nice at night. The unit switches to night mode automatically (but you can disable this) where the background becomes black. When dimmed to the lowest brightness and in night mode the unit gave off no annoying glow to the interior of the car. The 2200T also had the ability to choose different color schemes in addition to adjustable brightness.
Most importantly the street maps on the 3200 are updated from the 2200T. In my local area, a major highway interchange was reconfigured a few years ago, the 3200 shows the new traffic pattern where the 2200T showed the old one. Streets in my newer development did not show, nor did a new street at a new shopping center, but the 3200 did list some restaurants in that shopping center. They showed up at a nearby intersection. Even though the 3200 has fewer POI's (1.3M?) than the 2200T (1.5M?) they are more current. I've searched for a couple of shopping centers for my wife and neither unit was very helpful, I had to resort to navigating to a nearby restaurant. I suspect shopping centers are difficult POI's for NAVTEQ to keep up with. Wal-Marts were sometimes found under "Grocery" where the "Shopping" category found shopping malls. Maybe the pricier units with 6 million POI's show these businesses better. The 3200 showed gas stations, restaurants, and hotels well enough to please me.
There is no Text-To-Speech on the 3200. However the voice prompts were identical to the TTS enabled 2200T except the 2200T announced the street name or Interstate number at the end of the maneuver. "Slight right turn in 2 miles" vs. "Slight right turn in 2 miles on I-77" Considering the additional cost of TTS enabled units I am pleased with the 3200.
Being physically smaller, the 3200's speaker was smaller than the one in the 2200T and the unit had 5 volume levels and a mute where the 2200T had 7 volume levels and a mute. Hearing the voice prompts from the 3200 was never a problem though.
The mount worked well and seems quite solid. It is not very long however. If you place it low in your window and your window has a long slope, the unit may feel far away. I found I could actually flip the mount upside down and place it higher on the window. The mount and the unit were both small enough to be unobtrusive.
The power cord has a coiled section to keep things tidy. I found the length to be perfect without having any of the coiled section extended.
The included CD-ROM has a .pdf manual and a software utility for creating your own POI's. I have not used that software yet.
There is no PC cable included. Ever buy a printer? You don't usually get them with printers either and this is an entry level unit. I have several cables already that work with this device. The small USB connector (also used for the DC power adapter) is the same as many digital cameras.
Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Charge it and use it, The 3200 is very simple and awesome to use. This is my first unit, it is thin and easy to pocket. The window suction cup mount is the best. It comes w/lighter socket power adapter and internal battery.

this navigation system is great! Once you get it programed for where you are trying to go, it get there. If you should make a wrong turn it quickly recalulates your route. It was a little hard to get the right info in at first but the more you use it the easier it got. I paid more for it on Amazon then it cost at best buy, only because best buy sold out and I wanted it for Christmas for may trip. Got one for my sister,nephew,and my self we all LOVE It!!!!
Very pleased ! December 29, 2007

I have been using ths item for a month now and could not be more pleased. I travel to several locations during my day. programing the addresses is easy and saved in a personal address book. Wherever I am I can click on my address book, select a name, and within seconds be on my way down back streets or connecting highways I never knew existed to my location.
The price and options made this a great purchase.

I'm not one to write a full page review but if you are thinking of buying this product I'll let u know what I think.
for the price of around 150 it's less than a lot of other gps gadgets out there. I live in SoCal and I get awesome coverage, never had an issue with trying to get a signal. The unit starts up really fast so u don't have to wait for it to start up like i've heard about other products. unit has a SD memory slot to upload points of intrest( you can upload them from your computer and put them in the gps ). Has a bright screen, its protable, it speaks to you. I dont know what else you would want. Even gives you your current speed. It comes with a mount to stick on your dash or winshield. dont know why other people would cough up a lot more money for a product that does the same for so much less. I guess it has to do with the size. Even though it doesnt have a huge scrren, it sits in front of your face. the point is, I found it to be very useful and cheap. with the rising prices on everything these days, this is a good buy.
