One is price. Click here to find how much the Magellan Maestro 4700 4.7-inch Widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator is selling for on Amazon, today.

The other reasons are the features.

One thing that really turns customers on about this device is its ultra-slim design. It almost makes Garmin’s units look fat! It’s also got multiple point routing, which lets you program in more than one destination at a time. That’s rare for this price range, at the moment.

The Magellan Maestro 4700 4.7-inch Widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator has spoken street names. It’s Bluetooth compatible. And has voice commands. (This really helps while driving!) It includes maps of the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

Not only does it tell you which direction to take, but when you’re approaching a highway or an expressway with an interchange, it will tell you which lane to be in so you don’t miss the entrance ramp! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this while traveling in unfamiliar territory.

Another feature I really like are 3D landmarks. Instead of just having streets, it has 3D representations of notable building.

In terms of consumer reviews that we read, there were two problems with the Magellan Maestro 4700 4.7-inch Widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator. Bluetooth does not work equally well with all cell phones, and also the voice commands don’t seem to work perfectly right out of the box. That’s not unusual for voice commands, however. It’s a learning process for most machines.

On the plus side, other people say they really like the “closest gas station” button and also that the distances are extremely accurate.

Every GPS has it’s pros and cons. All in all, the Magellan Maestro 4700 4.7-inch Widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator is a very good unit for the price.
