We purchased this after returning a Garmin 755T (which I also reviewed) because we had terrible routing issues with that unit. We then took the same test trip with the Magellan that we took with the Garmin to Myrtle Beach. The Magellan had perfect routing on every trip we took whether it was for hundreds of miles or just ten miles. from Amazon.com I love my new Magellan. It sometimes gives me a little issue figuring things out but I need to read the book more also. from Amazon.com As a former user of in-dash, factory installed navigation systems, I am very satisfied with this Magellan device. I find it a much more complete and versatile tool than those I've used in the past. from Amazon.com Now on to my review. Let me start off by saying that I have only owned this device for about 2 weeks and this is my first GPS purchase, although not the first GPS I have used. My only other experiences came with rental cars while in germany the past 3 years which is a must have for those of us that dont speak the language. So although i am not a long time GPS owner I do know what to expect from such devices. from Amazon.com This is my first GPS unit, and I based my purchase on price, included feature set, and early customer reviews. I've had the 4700 for about 3 weeks and used it in and around NYC and Long Island, NY and Miami, FL. My GPS needs are simple and I only have experience with a friend's older Garmin 200 series 3.5" unit to compare against. from Amazon.com I thought that this new unit from Magellan had great features for the price, and it does. Too bad it does not work reliably. from Amazon.com I had a Megellan 3000 and was happy with it. It was time for me to get a new slim one so I went back to Megellan. Got this new unit out 4700. When I got this new GPS I was very happy with the looks and the features. from Amazon.com We drove to Texas from California with no problems. The maps were more accurate then we could've imagined. Our Magellan took us straight to my sister's home. I like the way it announces points along the way. from Amazon.com I have owned the Magellan 4350 and 5310. The 4700 is by far the best except for the following: from Amazon.com This 4700 is my 4th Magellan. The first was a 750 which was the same as the Hertz 'Never Lost'. from Amazon.com
