I just buy the Magellan 4250 GPS an I am very disappointed of the way Magellan is using the GPS to force peoples to use the AAA roadside Assistance, I pay 400 dollars for this GPS because one of the best
Fixture is the ease of use on their menu for the roadside Assistance, my wife that is no technically incline if it have more than one Button she is in trouble, but you cannot change the number on the
Roadside Assistance you are force if you want to use the emergency Icon to use the AAA roadside Assistance, I do not have AAA roadside Assistance or want it, I have another company better than AAA Roadside assistance, but I cannot use there phone number on that page, because you cannot edit the AAA road Assistance number .If I pay 400 Dollar for this unit, I want to be able to use all the pages Especially the emergency page and no been forced to use the AAA ROAD
ASSISTANCE. Some people will say that they are not forcing you to use The service but if I am paying for the GPS I sure want to use all the Functions an the use of a one button to call for your Road assistance
Without the need for looking for the number is very comforting and if Magellan want to advertise there AAA roadside assistance service do Not do it on my dollar. I am returning this GPS and looking for one That does not force me to use their services.
You can be sure I will post this complain on as many web sites as I Can.
Dissapointed that you forced me to read your post

By all means, get something else that WILL fit your exacting needs better.......if there is such a thing.
Some of us read the box before we bought and are quite satisfied with what we got.
Oh, never mind. I'm betting this first post will also be the last.
There is, no doubt, something about this forum that doesn't conform exactly to your needs either !!!

I would just ignore this feature and program your roadside assistance number into your cell phone and dial it from there.
Maybe even assign it a speed dial number so you can access it immediately.
You aren't forced to use their service.
Oh Well. Just keep your 1800
Oh Well. Just keep your 1800 number handy

You are well on your way! I'm getting tired of reading this post verbatim on at least 3 sites so far. I guess the best thing is to research the $400 item before you buy. AAA features are posted all over those Maestro models.
Sounds like you need OnStar service if you want it to make calls for you.
Good Luck
Research Before Buying
I would say this is where research before buying would have been very helpfull.
