User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great buy. Nice little GPS for the money
I bought this as a present for someone and they just love it. Even though it was a refurbished product, It came in excellent condition and has been working perfectly. No trouble with the unit. I would recommend getting these refurbed units if you want to save some money. There is always a chance you may get a unit that was not properly refurbed but, Amazon is always great about returns.

5 Stars Great Product, Great Price
I was a little skeptical with the particular product I bought being refurbished, but it looks brand new, and works just as well. I would have had to have paid $200 or more for all of the features that come on this one, but I got it for only $90. Great Deal!
3 Stars Slow inputing addresses
The Magellan Maestro 3225 looked brand new. The maps were out of date and Magellan does not have any new free updates for this product. When I would enter an address most of the time I would get to my destination before it would map my route. I have returned the unit to Magellan and they are fixing it now. They will fix refurbished units within the first 90 days if you provide them with a receipt and wait a couple of days for them to send you a RA number. Then you have to pay for shipping via FEDEX or UPS to return it to them.
4 Stars Magellan Maestro 3225 (Factory Refurbished)
No need to be concerned about buying a factory refurbished Magellan GPS. The only way that I could tell that it was refurbished, was the sticker that Magellan put on the box. Everything was factory packaged in the box and looked and worked like brand new. The only negative thing that I can say about my purchase is that the speaker sounds like it is being overpowered at maximum volume…one step under max. it sounds perfect and probably too loud unless you have the windows open. If I had it to do all over again, I would absolutely purchase the same Magellan 3225 GPS again.
4 Stars Very good unit
Arrived in excellent shape, looked brand new. If you are looking for a very inexpensive gps navigation device this should work fine. Small inconveniences of the UI but it is cheap and they are not that big a deal. (slower refresh rate, low contrast colors for the day etc.)
Overall good, not great. If you are going to spend more though, go with a Garmin which will be great.
