Magellan Maestro 4220 Review

The Magellan Maestro 4220 GPS is far more than first meets the eye with its extra wide touchscreen capabilities and ultra-sleek, ultra-thin, stylish design. With more than six million preprogrammed points of interest (POI) scattered throughout all 50 U.S. states, as well as the rest of North America, it's rather simple to find your way around wherever you're going using the interactive, user-friendly menu.

The benefits of the Magellan Maestro 4220 GPS are numerous despite its relatively small size and include attractive features such as the built-in address book, which can create and store new personal points of interest in addition to those that are preloaded.
