Magellan Announces Maestro 4250, 4200, 4220, 3250, 3200, 3210

Magellan announced six new devices, all to be available between September and October. Not too much has changed in features between their similarly numbered siblings… except for the size. Finally the Magellan devices have shed some of their bulk and are now some of the thinnest devices, at .7 inches in thickness. This makes them some of the thinnest GPS devices offered. The new devices will feature combinations of AAA tourbook information, voice recognition (we can only wish it works better than the 4050 but our hopes are not too high) RDS-TMC traffice receivers, and SiRFstarIII chipsets. Press release follows, and we’ll have a full wrap-up (including photos) shortly.
