User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Magellan Maestro 5310
The product has functioned as expected … it came with a dashboard mounting assembly and not the windscreen mount as was specified on the original box. The product was delivered expeditiously after the order was confirmed.
5 Stars NO NEED FOR IT
IT IS NOT ALL IT HAS CRACKED UP TO BE, NO BLUETOOTH, IT IS BIG I SENT IT BACK
4 Stars Magellan
This GPS is as good as advertised with a great screen and graphics. It does take some getting used to however and one must learn quickly to only glance at the monitor and keep driving distraction to a minimum.
5 Stars I liked it so far!
I got my Magellan Maestro 5310 today and tested it thoroughly. This is my first GPS Navigator and I liked it a lot. It works with no problems.
Pros: It talks a lot: the actions you take, the street names, warning for approaching turns, etc. and bells/chimes at the turning points… Route recalculation takes about 3 seconds. Big screen is awesome. Satellite connection is perfect in Texas. The accuracy is about 4-5 meters. And it is full of POI.
Cons: So far the only con can be the difficulty to connect the cradle with the swivel mount. It’s not easy to push the cradle all the way down until it locks in place with the swivel mount. Don’t force it, it will break, or don’t mount the Magellan Maestro 5310 before having those two pieces lock perfectly. What I did was to put some soap on the tabs and the holes and then the cradle slides and locks without forcing it.
5 Stars Exactly what I needed!
I am a novice with GPS systems yet have family members who use them more regularly.
I bought this product specifically for road trip vacations. The 5-inch screen made it unnecessary for me to wear my reading glasses to see it. The menu interface is fairly user-friendly and the voice over adjustable volume can be set loud to hear even with music playing at high levels.
During my recent trip to Orlando, the only issue I ran into was being routed through the gated off employee parking lot for Animal Kingdom theme park and the guard routed us to the main entrance which he told us happens alot with GPS systems in general. Also, the Magellan unit is so slim & compact, it fit snugly in my backpack.
I reviewed 9 different prospective units before deciding on purchasing this one and I am thoroughly satisfied with that decision.
