Clarification on unit specs. - Magellan Maestro 5310
By A276K5LAPFYP3L on 2008-07-02
Just to clarify: I own this unit and while it's exactly what I was looking for (needing neither Bluetooth nor Voice Command) I can clarify the inaccurate information stated above - the 5310 has neither of these features. The Magellan Maestro 4050 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator has both features available for those who are interested. It is possible that we'll see Voice Command came out as an upgrade for the 5310 as it did for the 4050, but it's not there now. That said, this is a great little unit with a large, easy-to-read screen, great AAA extras, good maps and a very intuitive user interface. I'd highly recommend it and at $350 Amazon has one of the best prices I've seen (it's $500 elsewhere).

I was considering purchasing this product, but the features described here at amazon.com do not match what magellan shows on their product manual and product features description. I don't know who's right, but the manual and megallan site does not mention bluetooth or voice command.
Love my Magellan

My first gps was a 5310, Not doing my home work I found myself looking at the gps units at Best Buy, not a very big selection when you look at all the ones available online. I wasnt intrested at the time in bluetooth, voice command, mp3, msn ect. just wanted a good gps and decent size screen, and I selected the 5310 for $499. Really should have more features for that price.
Thats what this unit was 5" LCD screen with great POI, traffic and easy to use. Used it right out of the box for seveal stops on the way home and played around with it that day. Really nice unit. Plugged it in that night to charge and the next morning it kept turning off, didnt take a charge, touch screen stoped working, I turned it off and on with no results. I looked thru the manual, which wasnt very good and should have told me at least it has a reset button. It didnt. So I took it back to the store and got a refund.
Thats when I started reading reviews online, realized maybe the reset button MAY have fixed the problem and I would still have it today and loved it. I also found all the other gps units available the store didnt have so I researched for a couple of days and for the price options ect I really liked the 4250, its the same unit as the 5310 plus bluetooth and voice command for about half the price, It does have the 4.3 WQVGA screen instead of the 5" LCD, but its just as good and easier to carry.
See my review of the 4250 but to sum it up I really love it works great. Hasnt frozen or needed to be reset. Found I use the bluetooth and voice command on occasion and like I said half the price for the same unit.
I Did stay away from Tom Tom on recommendations from the store to friends to family and many reviews,bad maps routing you down dead end streets ect. Never really heard anything bad about Garmin just more money with less features. Magellan and Garmin use the same maps, Tom Tom's are different.
I have downloaded the new firmware 4.6 for my 4250 and would recommend that. It does help the bluetooth and overall operation runs smoother.
I liked it so far!

I got my Magellan Maestro 5310 today and tested it thoroughly. This is my first GPS Navigator and I liked it a lot. It works with no problems.
Pros: It talks a lot: the actions you take, the street names, warning for approaching turns, etc. and bells/chimes at the turning points... Route recalculation takes about 3 seconds. Big screen is awesome. Satellite connection is perfect in Texas. The accuracy is about 4-5 meters. And it is full of POI.
Cons: So far the only con can be the difficulty to connect the cradle with the swivel mount. It's not easy to push the cradle all the way down until it locks in place with the swivel mount. Don't force it, it will break, or don't mount the Magellan Maestro 5310 before having those two pieces lock perfectly. What I did was to put some soap on the tabs and the holes and then the cradle slides and locks without forcing it.
Exactly what I needed!

I am a novice with GPS systems yet have family members who use them more regularly.
I bought this product specifically for road trip vacations. The 5-inch screen made it unnecessary for me to wear my reading glasses to see it. The menu interface is fairly user-friendly and the voice over adjustable volume can be set loud to hear even with music playing at high levels.
During my recent trip to Orlando, the only issue I ran into was being routed through the gated off employee parking lot for Animal Kingdom theme park and the guard routed us to the main entrance which he told us happens alot with GPS systems in general. Also, the Magellan unit is so slim & compact, it fit snugly in my backpack.
I reviewed 9 different prospective units before deciding on purchasing this one and I am thoroughly satisfied with that decision.
