Default Magellan 4250 or 1412 (GPS)

Okay, so I bought a Magellan RoadMate 1412 the other day, it works fine, but I've got trouble. Since lots of roads around here are under construction, I need a GPS that updates it. Magellan wants me to pay $80 everytime a road is under construction for the map to update, which is pure bullshit if you ask me.

So is there a GPS that updates without fee (looking for a cheap; cost wise; one).

I also read about the Magellan Maestro 4250, it looks good. Retail is $499.99, but here at my Local Costco they are selling it for $249.99, which is a huge save. It includes Hands-Free Bluetooth calling, Traffic Updates, AAA service ETC.

Your probably going to have to pay on every name branded gps reciever.
If its your local, learn the roads (in ur head).. GPS Should be used on when you are in an unknown location.

That's what I've been doing. I was on Vacation for the past 7 days, and I had no clue where I was... but the Idea did hit me. Sometimes I have to go long distances, and I normally take out a map to see where I am..

The new TomTom's have free map updates. But the catch is, it's not TomTom updating the maps, its the users updating and uploading their edited maps. It also comes with software so you can update roads on your gps yourself.
