But it sacrifices some other features along the way.

Place the Maestro 4370 and Maestro 4700 side by side and you’d think they came from two different companies. The 4.3-inch-screened Maestro 4370 is attractive, glossy, but a little bulky. Its mount is also fairly large and complex. In comparison, the Maestro 4700 is slimmer, has a less-slick-looking plastic surround, and sports a matte screen. The unit measures 3.5 by 5.2 by 0.6 inches (HWD); it’s slightly wider than the 4370 due to the larger LCD. The mount is also smaller, but has the same problem as earlier Magellan devices in that you can’t route the cable through it; you have to disconnect and connect the cable each time you take the unit off your dashboard. In addition to the mount and cradle, Magellan throws in a 12-volt power adapter, a USB cable, a protective pouch, an adhesive mounting disk, and a quick reference guide.

I can type in a name or address and the RoadMate 1412 corrects any misspelled words. The time it takes for the unit to lock on to a satellite is within seconds. I personally find the 4.3-inch touchscreen menu and route displays straightforward and easy to read. While I am driving, I can get voice turn-by-turn directions.

The SmartDetour function warns me about traffic jams or slowing traffic and gives me options to change my route if any are available. I purchased the Magellan RoadMate for less than $200 and used a manufacturer’s coupon for $50. The net outlay for the Magellan RoadMate 1412 was less than $150.

The company was founded in 1989 under the name ProNav. In 1991, the name was changed to Garmin which is a combination of the first three letters of the founder’s Christian names: Gary Burell and Min Kao. Meanwhile, the company has put many GPS receivers on the market. This includes the Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, a GPS receiver that holds the top position in the Garmin handheld segment and is specifically designed for consumers. The Garmin features a waterproof housing and has been equipped with a built-in SiRF receiver, a barometric altimeter, a compass and a basic map. The GPSmap 60CSx also features a fairly large colour TFT monitor and a microSD card to store the routes.

Instead, opt for someone like Mr. T or John Cleese, who seem to have an uncanny knack for navigation. They’re among the amusing B-list celebrity voices you can add to TomTom’s XL 340S, a nicely appointed windshield-mounted GPS that’s smarter than the average navigator.
