Magellan Maestro 4250 Portable GPS Unit - Design
(Page 2 of 4 )
The Magellan Maestro 4250 looks very sleek and stylish; its biggest asset is probably its thin body. This is one of the thinnest GPS devices on the market. Its overall size makes it ultra-portable. The overall dimensions of the Maestro 4250 are 3.2" by 4.8" by 0.7" and it weighs approximately six ounces.
Despite this unit's small size, it still manages to squeeze a 4.3-inch touch-screen into the front of the device. The nice-quality LCD display features 480 by 272 pixel resolution and approximately 64,000 colors. At 4.3" in size, the 4250's touch-screen display is on a par with other top-of-the-line GPS units on the market right now.
Looking at the rest of the Maestro 4250's body, you'll find an FM antenna input, a mini USB port, and an SD/MMC memory card expansion slot on the right side of the device. The top of the 4250 houses the power button, while the bottom sports the reset button for times when the device freezes up. The back of the device offers a speaker and the external GPS antenna connector. All of the controls of the 4250, except for the power button, are activated by using the touch-screen interface. I like the fact that Magellan has kept the external buttons to a minimum, because it allows for a more sleek and beautiful-looking navigation device. And the Maestro 4250 is certainly that.
The included mounting arm for this device is nothing special. It can either be mounted on the dash with an adhesive disc or on the windshield with the included suction cup. The mounting arm will rotate horizontally or vertically in order to get the best possible view of the display.
