Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS tracker yesterday. I noticed on the box it tells you were resturants are when you drive past them. It does it for gas stations and banks but not for resturants. Does it have to be programed to show up resturants on the map as well?

My maps are for the US. You can buy maps for Europe. Not sure about other continents. I would encourage you check out …

What is the MOB feature used for on a Magellan 315 GPS? I know it means man over board, but what is its intended purpose?

The intention behind it is if you’re in moving water or open water it may be difficult to precicely figure out where that person fell …

I was driving in NYC the other day with my GPS system and all of a sudden it started acting crazy! I was using it to help me find my way back to the Lincoln Tunnel and all of a sudden it started to fast foward and complete the trip.
