I've had many GPSes. This is the best of them. It has many features, so many, that some of them are not even emphasized/mentioned/described in the manual. For example,
1. Auto-Zoom: I love it. It is very "aggressive" changing the zoom and angle depending on how far the next maneuver is. I always see what I want: from an overview of next few miles to a close-up of my next turn.
2. Volume Level based on current speed: other GPS are too loud when driving 20mph and too quiet when driving 75mph. Maestro 4370 adjusts sound volume level to the speed.
3. It turns itself on/off when you start/stop the car.
4. You can choose from ABC/QWERTY keyboards (ABC is a show-stopper for me). Keys that are invalid at a certain point of entering an address are disabled - great feature reducing keyboard errors.
5. Offers to save location when external power is disconnected.
6. AAA POI/ratings database.
7. Route options: it shows you on a map 4 routes created using different routing parameters. Routes are drawn with different colors. What a joy!
8. The screen is high resolution and beautiful.
9. Next maneuver commands are clear and given ahead of time. You have plenty of time to get to the best lane. Plus, 4370 has lane guidance/assist.
10. GPS fix time is very good.
11. FM traffic reception is good.
12. POI database is pretty good.
13. One-touch POI access is a great feature.
14. Tells street side of the destination.
------
Decent, not great:
1. BT hand-free calling could be louder and more reliable. Perhaps, my phone (ATI Tilt) is not 100% compatible.
2. No phone book import over BT.
3. The touch screen is not always perfectly responsive. Maybe, I have to get used to this particular device.
4. The screen is gorgeous, but reflective.
