I have been using the 3250 for about two weeks. This is the best gps I have ever used. The ones that I’m comparing it with are TomTom One 3rd, Mio 220 and 230, Garmin Nuvi 350, and Garmin streetpilot 330. The Magellan is not quite as easy to use as the Garmin units, but lets the user have more control over navigation.
Pros:
-Best poi database I have seen with AAA tour book
-Voice commands, really cool
-TrueView map. Shows you the intersection turns on the left of the screen
-Up to date maps, 8/2007
-Text to speech
-Traffic conditions
-Interactive POI icons. On map screen icons, touch and see what it is.
-Navteq maps. Better than TelAtlas thats on TomTom and Mio
-Tells you what side of the road your destination is on. Garmins do this too.
-Quick spell. Makes entering in you address much easier.
-Multi destination routing.
