Voice commands materialise with the Magellan 4250 GPS Navigator

The Magellan 4250 is small and light at 3.2 inches high by 4.8 inches wide. This slimmer design makes it much more portable and easier to carry for travels. It features a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a 480×272 pixel resolution. The maps and text look sharp and bright. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly. The QuickSpell feature assists in entering addresses and provides suggestions much like search engines do for keywords.

The device has an FM antenna input, a mini USB port, and an SD card expansion slot. The Magellan Maestro 4250 also comes packaged with an AC adapter, a car charger, a USB cable, a vehicle mount, a protective pouch, and reference material. It is equipped with an SiRFStarIII GPS chip and has maps of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska. This Car GPS system also provides guidance by way of text and voice, guiding drivers turn by turn. Maps are presented in 2D or 3D with both day and night modes available.

This is also the first model by Magellan with voice command recognition. However, only a limited amount of tasks can be done through voice command. This includes rerouting, finding points of interest, routing to your home address and getting your current location, distance to destination, and roadside assistance. The six million points of interest (POIs), includes restaurants, hotels, airports, gas stations, and many more. Auto re-route gets you promptly back on track whenever you overlook a turn and lose your direction. Finally, in night conditions, the screen automatically adjusts to ensure viewing ease.
