Magellan support is non-existent
Flimsy internal battery carrier snapped. Found one on that E site for MUCH less than Magellan would cost. Magellan support offers friendly people who want to help you, no really they do. But wanting to, and actually being able to, are entirely...

I should have saved my money
I bought this as an impulse buy when I saw it on clearance at Wal-Mart for $110, marked down from $199. I had been contemplating upgrading from my explorist 210 (which I still love).

Great device...not so straight forward software
I have absolutely no problems with the actual device. It's my first GPS and I had pretty much figured it all out in the first few days. What I do have problems with is the difficulty of the software. It's not as straight forward as you would...

Good unit for kayaking & biking. Used for over 1 year with no problems . Added a SD card & Loaded local maps from Mapsend Topo 3D. Also the battery Magellan sells for the unit works better than the 3 AAA battery holder. Best to print out owners manu
