problem with Magellan Maestro 4250

I cannot always get to the Main Menu to access Enter an Address. I
click and click on the maps menu and sometimes get the Main Menu after
a lot of clicking, sometimes not.. It shouldn't be like this, should
it? Should I send it back?

Are you 'clicking' with a fingernail or your finger skin? I find my
fingernail works best. You could try a 'stylus' from a PDA.

Also you can recalibrate, but you do need to use a stylus to
recalibrate, it won't take a finger press to do that.

Before you send it back, have a little patience. These little computers
don't multi-task very good at times. Be sure you have given it sufficient
time to finish the boot up process and then if you press an icon and HEAR a
click....WAIT for the response......instead of continuing to click away.

Now, if you press the icon and don't hear a click, then the "fat finger" may
be the problem.


Magellan has a utility to recalibrate the touch screen ???? I don't think
so.
Pretty sure MY 4250 doesn't.

Mine does... I'll look it up the next time I get a chance. It is in
the system section, IIRC, it was clear in the menu what it was.

Of course they could have either added it later, or removed it on some
calibrate (four corners).

My Magellan 4212 does have a recalibration funtion under the system
menu option.
