As you know, sometime today, you aregoing to be attacked by a big guy in a hockey mask. Probably whileyou’re taking a shower or… you know. The key to survival is knowingyour area.
Now the people over at Apple are hyping up thatnew iPhone, and they’d like to make you believe that, in anaxe-wielding crisis, they’ve got the hardware you need. But we feelthat the Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPS will suit you better, and here’s the reasons why.
1) When alone in the woods at two in the morning and screaming for your life:
- The iPhone requires that you have charged it the night before.
- The Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPS plugs right into your car’s cigarette lighter.
2) When trying to quietly sneak through the dark forest to freedom:
- The iPhone screen lights up and makes you easy to find and kill.
- The 4.3” wide WQVGA color touch screen on the Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPSalso lights up, but it lights up inside your car, putting an extralayer of metal between you and the axe. Also, the Maestro mounts on thedash or windshield.
3) As you panic because it seems likethe woods are changing and you can’t find the dirt road back to thehighway and you suddenly see the hulking bloody outline of the maniacin your headlights:
- The iPhone will probablyrequire you to juggle it in your hands while driving and take your eyesoff the road which will result in a crazy man punching your hood andhowling like a wounded beast as you scream and pray for an easy death.
- The Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPShas voice guidance with turn-by-turn directions and a simple menu withover 1.3 million pre-programmed points of interest. You could promiseyourself a trip to the World’s Largest Buttermilk Pail. What better wayto have something to live for?
4) When you’re at the local gas station trying to calm down and changing into a new shirt (http://shirt.woot.com/):
- The iPhonewill be all rattled against your keys and have sweaty fingerprints onit and probably there’s some sort of tracking device installed whichthe government uses to pinpoint your location and send maniacs afteryou because that’s the sort of thing Steve Jobs would do and you knowwe’re right.
- The Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPS comes with a protective pouch. Plus we certify each one to be 98% maniac free!
5) When you fall asleep and have to fight Freddy for control of your dreams:
- The iPhone, while left unguarded in your car, is totally gonna get swiped and sold on eBay.
- Nobody on eBay wants a Magellan Maestro 4200 Portable GPS. Well, maybe that guy from Nigeria.
