Magellan Maestro
I love having a GPS. The Magellan is a very good one, but whether it is better than a Garmin or a Tom Tom I cannot say. Mine is so accurate that at night I can use it to find a poorly lit side road. I enjoy the field that gives altitude, speed and heading (yes, I have a private pilot's license). I thought that the voice recognition would be more useful than it is--it has a limited vocabulary, so that the only command that I found useful was "Home," in which case it would lead me on the roads home. Since it sometimes was activated by a voice on the radio I turned off the voice recognition and have not used it.
Some of the routes that it has calculated have been bizarre, especially on longer trips. On a 300 mile trip, according to Google Map, Magellan calculated a 500 mile route, taking me 100 miles out of my way and then back along the same interstate to what I knew to be the best route. When I broke the trip down into shorter segments it was accurate once again. An older Magellan that I had routed me the wrong way on a one way street in a Boston suburb and had the wrong address for a restaurant in central Massachusetts, but then Mapquest had the same wrong address. Even with those errors, after I dropped it in the cold transferring it to a rental car, I replaced it with another Magellan
It isn't perfect, but I wouldn't want to be without it.

Easy to use
This is my first navigation system and I love it. I did quite a bit of research before making this purchase. The unit is very easy to use and intuitive in programming the destinations. The only downsides I see with this is the unit is a bit slow in acquiring the satellite signal and a little slow in announcing highway exits when traveling at 55+ MPH. You should be looking ahead at the next turn off when travling on the highway or you might drive past your exit.
