I bought my magellan 3250 last year for $300 at $99.95 I think this a great deal. I can't say enough about the Magellan 3250. Its small on the dash so it doesn't block you view is very good at finding the fastest or best way to get someplace (except in Indendence, OR) Will take you right up to the front door. But what I Liked the best was in Portland when we were stuck on the freeway do to a wreck and the Magellan was able to help us get around it and save an hour of time.
I like the Blue-Tooth for my Cell phone and the voice commands also.

[...] Magellan Maestro 3250 January 14, 2009

This is a very nice GPS. It works well in almost every respect. I am especially impressed with its ability to recognize voice commands with no training. I also like the way it turns on and off with the ignition while installed in the car. The voice on the device is clear and pronunciation is quite good. The display is clear and I did not experience the display being too bright as described in other reviews. My only complaint is that I found it difficult to program a route with sequential stops. It works well from the present location to the next stop. However, I was not able to easily program multiple addresses on a trip. I was able to enter the addresses of stops into my address book and use that to find the next location but the process was awkward. There were no written instructions with the unit but I was able to download an instruction manual from the manufacturers web site. I had a question about the unit and requested information from the manufacturer via email for which I never received a reply. I downloaded and installed new firmware and that worked well. The CD that came with the unit did not work at all but the Magellan website was easy to use. The unit is an excellent value for the money and I would recommend it. [...] -- customer review

I did a lot of research on the CPS products. I purchased the Magellan as a christmas gift for my wife. Although she hasn't used it much she was thrilled. It not only does everything she wanted, but it is compact and can be carried in her purse. As a sales person she can finally do away with maps. [...] -- customer review

Excellent unit as long as you do two things:

1. Apply the latest firmware from [...] (it is a free download).

2. Get the FREE MAP update within 30 days of purchase (you pay $9 shipping/handling)
Yes its free. I have done it! The following is quoted directly from Magellan's website:
