Magellan Maestro 4050 GPS Device Video Review
by Sze | Filed under GPS
Gizmodo gives us a video review on the Magellan Maestro 4050 car navigation device which is the first voice-command portable GPS device.
Magellan Maestro 4050 has a 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen, and is powered by SiRF Star III GPS chipset. It offers real-time traffic alerts, “Bluetooth hands-free phone calling capabilities and advanced voiced routing directions via Magella’s SayWhere text-to-speech function”.
Voice command and the traffic kit differentiate the 4050 from the Maestro 4040. Are they worth a $200 premium? It’s hard to say. I like Magellan’s new Maestro systems for sure, but others will soon have voice recognition, and only then will we know if Magellan’s is better or worse.

It would be idea if the Maestro 4050 could recognize any command given to it, however it can be difficult for any type of unit to always understand what you are trying to convey. This unit is one that most likely would rate high in extra features.
