Magellan has finally decided that it is time to break the temporary self inflicted pause and deliver something memorable to its discerning customers. In October 2008, the company has come up with its latest in-car GPS, the Magellan Maestro 4370. The device is a step-up model based on the Magellan Maestro 4250, and is designed to provide you with hassle-free navigation through your preferred locations. Moreover, the Magellan Maestro 4370, a portable navigation device (PND), has been fitted with a new user interface that boasts an advanced feature called OneTouch, which facilitates quick and easy access to different destinations. You will especially love the fact that it saves precious time while navigating through frequently visited locations, or if you are willing to discover new horizons, precisely because you don’t have to go through various menus.

The design of the device has really managed to attract a lot of eye-balls and would make a real feature enhancement to any car interior. The 4.3-inch touch screen is invariably the high point of the GPS sat nav and boasts of a 480-by-800-pixel resolution, maps, and text, in addition to images that are delightfully sharp and fluid. A backlighting option is there as well, but you have no option to tailor colours of maps and have to make do with the standard, day, night, or automatic modes.

Convenience and flexibility appear to be the main focus of the unit as it has a host of other navigating features as well apart from the new OneTouch interface. The GPS feature is loaded with an amazing 6 million points of interest covering many prominent places of the world. The trip planning process is not tinkered much and is similar to most other PNDs and follows a simple procedure. Moreover, once you have saved a location you can get back to it at anytime via the OneTouch menu.
