The Magellan 4040 is large enough to be practical yet small enough to be portable. It's easy to use with a good display and sound.

The Great Magellan Scam....

Magellan's Maestro series, and the 4040 in particular, promises all sorts of goods. Bluetooth compatibility, 4.5 million points of interest, color screen, battery back-up, an SD/MMC for expansion, additional maps for regions "around the world" and so on

Magellan Maestro 4040 GPS Review
Comments:
The Magellan Maestro 4040 is in the middle of the new Maestro line, and probably is the device which offers the most value. Like the other Maestros, it comes with a nice large 4.3 inch display. Despite the big display the 4040 is packed into a nice thin .
Review Verdict: You also get Bluetooth hands free calling included, as well as text-to-speech. Text-to-speech can be very nice to have when the streets are close together and directions telling you to "turn right in 300 feet" doesn't quite cut it
