I have always used a Garmin but after owning the Magellan Maestro 4700 I will not be going back to Garmin. One extra note the software updates for Magellan is half that of the Garmin which is a Big Plus i my Book. One more note -it doesn't have a mp3 installed in it but I am after a GPS not a mp3 player. I have the 4700 and is on the mark about 10′ on – better than Garmin which is at 30′ +

Has anybody tested the accuracy?? I have had 2 of the Magellan Maestro 4370's and bothe get high marks for their features, but the accuracy is way off. The units are off by 75 to 80 feet, just an street addresses. The Titan 1, technology is really poor. My 4250 and 5310 were excellent in their accuracy and they used Atlas III, technology.
