"Magellan 4250 - Awesome GPS especially for those Hertz Rental users."
Pros: Beautiful screen. Easy to use. Great price.
Cons: Voice control does not include address entry. Mount is a little big for my taste.
Summary: The good: Beautiful screen. You can operate some functions with voice commands, which work well and are very easy. It features text-to-speech functionality, integrated Bluetooth which I will not need (I don?t want my GPS to be my phone, PDA, TV remote, iPod, etc), and traffic capabilities using the same FM system as others available (which work, but are far from perfect at this point). The system provided accurate directions, as expected and seen in the past when using the Hertz Rental Car Magellan systems. The maps are the same for the areas I reviewed in FL, NY, and CA as seen with Garmins. This is no surprise since they use the same map supplier (NAVTEQ).
The bad: Voice control does not include address entry. Mount is a little big for my taste.
The bottom line: Beautiful screen and very easy to use. If you are familiar with the unit in the Hertz cars and liked it, this fits like a glove as it works identical. At the Costco price of $249.00 (with a $100.00 off coupon for 2008 March 17th -23rd), this unit is awesome and does everything and more that I would want from a portable GPS. Buy with your AMEX and get additional 1yr warranty free!
