In terms of features and user interface, the new, smaller Maestro's look pretty similar to the Maestro 4000-series, except the 3000's lack the 4000's 4.3" wide-screen display. Magellan is expected to release the 3100 and 3140 in May '07. Online retailers are already taking pre-orders.

Magellan has been busy lately. After releasing the RoadMate 3000T, 3050T, and 6000T last year, Magellan followed-up with the popular RoadMate 2000, 2200T, and CrossoverGPS (2500). Last month Magellan released the Maestro 4000, 4040, and 4050.
