Magellan Maestro and custom made POI files
1. Install the Magellan POI File Editor that came with your Maestro on a CD
2. Connect your Maestro to your PC using a USB/Mini USB cord. (Depending on the model number the cord was or wasn’t provided.)
3. Your Maestro should be recognized as an external hard drive labeled TFAT (if you open My Computer or Windows Explorer/My Computer)
4. Start Magellan POI File Editor program on your PC

Magellan traffic
Is it just me or does it seem very unclear the way you activate the traffic on the 4700. I cannot figure out when it is active and not active. Any simple instructions?

Roadmate 1470 vs Maestro 4700
I am looking at both the 4700 & 1470 units, my questions are: 1. is the 4700 worth the extra $45 or so, given that I am not interested in blue tooth and 2. is the technology engine the same for both of them ? I am looking for reliability and a minimum number of quirks.
THanks, Tim

I just tried to update the firmware on a Magellan Roadmate 1470 from 1.07 to 2.05rel3. I did the steps listed on the program. It asked me to unplug it and wait for it to reboot a couple of times. I saw it reboot twice, once to do something with uboot. The second time to update wince.img.

I like the option of current road construction, unfortunately it's updated via a PC. I wonder how many trucker are going to rush out and buy this unit with its $500 price tag.

Magellan GPS
Does anyone know how to add red light cameras and other POI's to the Magellan 4770? I called Magellan and the tech told me that No one is sanctioned by Magellan at this time and if I did download a red light camera database and the Magellan quit working, the warranty would be void. I have a Garmin 1390 and all downloads seem to be flawless.

Magellan Roadmate 1470 POI loading
I am interested in using some of the custom POI files listed on this site. However, I have been unsuccessful finding any software to interface with my Roadmate 1470 or software to convert from Garmin file formats. Most of the files I have looked at are .csv format. There was no POI Editor Software included with this device. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

First Time POI dowload (Magellan)
Where is the downloading instructions for dummies section? I'm being serious. I have a Magellan 1412 and wanted to download a new map. Wandered across this site and want to download some poi's. Help.
This is what I've done so far:
Download the POI editor from my magellan CD and downloaded the poi's I want on my desktop.
That's as far as I can get.
