So Far, Good Product
I just bought the 4250 refurb unit on Amazon. So far, it is working fine. I did have a hiccup updating the firmware, but it was easily resolved. The maps I received are from 2007, and as one other reviewer pointed out I did receive a wall charger as well as all the mounts (windsheild, dash) for the unit. Haven't done much with it yet, but bluetooth works fine and the mapping looks good so far. Have not been out with it on the road yet. 2008-10-11
Disappointed
The gps came with out dated maps, to get current maps I have to pay $80 to get the up to date maps that it should have had out of the box. It also doesn't always give proper directions. It will sometimes try to send you down a side street that runs parallel with the main steet it should have sent you. 2008-10-09

No Software Upgrade is Disappointing
Magellan units are okay, but their support is very disappointing. Also, having bought this unit for a few weeks only, you would think that they would provide you the updated software for free. They don't. And that's a big negative on my book. So any positives I have for this unit will go down the drain. They should provide free software for at least the first year you've bought the item. I suggest looking the other way and getting others instead. 2008-10-07
OK GPS
I bought the refurbished model and it froze initially and wouldnt even reset. I had to Hold the power button down for several seconds to get the unit to turn off. I upgraded the firmware and it has been working fine. Some of the maps/poi are outdated (as are most of the gps on the market) but the routing is very accurate and fairly quick. Try the firmware update to correct problems. As with most electronics the hardware is cheap and the software (map updates) is where they get you.
