Designed with the driver in mind, the Maestro 4350 features a 4.3-inch widescreen anti-glare touchscreen, Bluetooth, Real-Time Traffic updates, and 2-D and 3-D maps of the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, all packed into a streamlined design that will add a bit of flair to any interior. But good looks and basics you'd expect from any modern portable navigation aren't all this PND has to offer. Take advantage of the customizable OneTouch menu, or maximize your driving time with the media player and wireless FM transmitter. And talk about resourceful; the 4350 even has the power of AAA travel office pre-loaded into its 2GB of memory.

The Maestro 4350's large icons and easy-to-use menu makes accessing main features a snap. The OneTouch menu is always accessible in the top right corner.

OneTouch Interface
Customize the Maestro to work for you. Magellan's OneTouch interface puts you in control with a customizable quick-access menu for the Points-of-Interest (POIs) and categories you need most often. Make frequent trips into the city? Set up the OneTouch to give you easy access to parking locations, banks, ATMs and "home". Going on a road trip? Swap out your favorites for shortcuts to search for nearest ATMs, rest stops, and restaurants. All of your favorites are easily accessible with a quick finger-touch to the top right corner of the screen.

Mapping Made Easy
The 4350 comes pre-loaded with maps of the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, all available in 2D, 3-D, and street-level depending on how much detail you need for your drive. Lane guidance makes highway driving a breeze with arrow indicators directing you into the correct lane when approaching highway junctions, intersections, and exit ramps so you won't miss your turn. Even if you do miss your turn the 4350 offers re-route capability to get you back on track.

Improved street-level mapping with integrated 3-D landmarks and buildings translate what's on the screen with your actual surroundings. When the sun goes down, Maestro 4350 switches into night mode, with soft contrasting colors for better low-light visibility that's easy on the eyes. The 4350 even works on foot. Undock the unit from your car and take it with you. The built-in rechargeable battery offers three hours of portable pedestrian navigation.

Thanks to large icons and an intuitive interface, you can quickly search for destinations, specific intersections, or any of the six million points of interest, including restaurants, banks, parks, hotels, airports, and many more. A large enhanced on-screen keyboard makes destination entry and points-of-interest searches hassle-free, and QuickSpell intelligently searches and checks spelling while you enter addresses. In map mode, POIs are also displayed with interactive onscreen icons and a quick touch indicates name and address with an option to route to the location. Once a route has been calculated, the 4350 displays and continually updates distance to destination and estimated arrival time right on the screen.

Integrated Real-Time Traffic and SmartDetour
There's no need to worry about getting stuck in traffic because the Maestro 4350 has an integrated RDS traffic receiver that displays real-time traffic conditions with on-screen color-coding to indicate congestion levels. A free 3-month traffic service subscription is included and makes avoiding accidents, congestion, road closures, and severe weather a non-issue. The 4350 will recalculate your estimated time of arrival based on current road conditions and if an alternate route is available, SmartDetour kicks in and quickly offers an alternate route when available.

AAA at Your Fingertips
With the use of an integrated AAA Tourbook Guide, you can locate and route to thousands of AAA-approved restaurants, lodging, and other approved AAA services. There's even a database of AAA-approved member discount locations - a perfect companion for road trips. AAA members can even take advantage of the enhanced Member Roadside Assistance. Should you run into trouble along your journey, the Maestro can provide exact location information and a phone number for the nearest service. Use the Maestro's built-Bluetooth with your mobile phone to quickly contact help.

Bluetooth Hands-Free Calling
Mobile phone hands-free laws are becoming more common every year, and it's quickly becoming illegal to use a mobile phone while driving without a hands-free or speakerphone kit. The Maestro 4350 features a built-in microphone, speaker, and Bluetooth capability, turning this powerful portable into a convenient speakerphone system for your car. Store or sync your contacts into the Maestro's memory for quick access and make or receive phone calls easily via the touchscreen interface.

See the Difference in the Details
The 4350 also offers a media player and SD card reader. Load up an SD card with your favorite music, audiobooks, or images to make your time on the road more enjoyable. The Maestro's built-in speaker is more than adequate for most, but the 4350 also features a built-in FM transmitter that can stream your audio and route directions right into your vehicle's radio for convenience.

What's in the Box
Magellan Maestro 4350 GPS, AC power adapter, 12-volt vehicle power adapter, windshield mount, RDS traffic antenna, USB data cable, adhesive disc, protective carry pouch, basic cradle, quick-reference guide, and CD-ROM manual

Magellan 4350 - Excellent GPS features (long review)5
As this is a lengthy review, those not wanting to wade through the entire text can find a summary under the 'Conclusions' heading.

Test Conditions:
All tests were conducted in the Northeast U.S. Although I don't own another portable GPS, I do have a factory installed navigation unit in my 2006 Audi which I've utilized for several side-by-side comparisons (the Magellan is actually for my wife's car).

Updates to the 4350's operating system and navigational firmware are available at no-cost from Magellan's website. These significantly improve the functionality and stability of the unit and if you own one you'd be making a mistake not to install them. The procedure is made relativity easy by the CD based instruction manual that comes with the unit. It took me about fifteen minutes to bring my unit up to date and in a month of testing since, it has never crashed, frozen, or seriously misbehaved. All findings posted here are based on a unit updated to the following: OS Version 00.42.01.0919 and Navigation Version 8.3.2.64084.
