I've had my unit for just over a year and have been fairly satisfied with it. My son's Garmin 340 is more user friendly, though. My real problem is with the tech support. I've made at least 35...
This is a great feature rich portable unit which is light and the use of SD card allows for saved data. BT functionality is very useful and easy to use. However, unit functionality is not easy to...
Magellan hasn't learned to keep its controls as simple as Garmin has, and using the 6000T's menus can be tricky. We dislike that you must exit the route screen to see the destination menu, which...
The screen is nice and after 3 Garmin failures, I purchased the 6000. The unit is slow to calculate, especially when changing screens while a route is active. The unit freezes often and the memory...
Works right out of the box.Got this for my mother to use.Very easy to use, text to speech,has AAA built in.If your a AAA member (and we are!)you can get discounts on Magellan products and an extra...
I purchased my Megellan Roadmate 1440 four months ago, I think that this is a very good system. For me, this is a good investment and am pleased with the 1440. It always get me to where I am...
If you want an extremely accurate mapping system to use while engaged in outdoor activities like hiking, 4 wheeling, fishing, hunting, or geo-caching, this unit is unbeatable when combined with the...
I almost bought this in late 2007, but found out about the problems. After consulting with a retailer I totally trusted, I bought one in May 2008, after they were allegedly "fixed". If Magellan...
"Nice flashlight and "easy to use", empty base maps."
I'm an infantry officer in the Army. We train out in the field a lot. That is one of the reasons I bought this unit. I have had so much trouble getting simple maps, which I had to purchase,...
I bought the unit in Vancouver at Canadian Tire for $400, used it at the airport for a while before a fishing trip, was very user friendly and worked well even without any extra software. I got to...
I'm surprised by the other reviews. I heard some early products were shipped without cables, but the company was pretty quick to send me a new one, and I don't see that as reflective of the...
This was my first GPS. A friend has the cheaper yellow Garmin, but she has to enter every character for each geocache, so I wanted something that could sync to my computer. This one does so through...
See my review/updates starting with the 200 (3 of them), 300 (2), 400..so far...All replacements for original purchase. I still don't have a working unit after original purchase over 1 1/2 years...
After 2 years trying to get this piece of crap to work I?ve given up and thrown it in a draw, eaten the $129 purchase price, and sworn never to buy anything from this outfit again. Firstly, if you...
At the bottom end of Magellan's Triton range, the Triton 200 offers only the most basic handheld navigation functions for hiking and other outdoor activities. Those features it does have are...
I think some of the Abysmal and Poor assessments here are due to user frustration than actually the product. I just got a Triton 200 from e-Bay for $77. The speed at which it boots up and locks in...
Seemed to be working properly out of the box. Firmware was out of date. Downloaded and installed update, and unit froze. Contacted Magellan and they replaced unit. Works fine. Warranty service is...
"HORRIBLE FOR PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
WOULD NEVER SUGGEST BUYING THIS PRODUCT! If you are a casual driver who doesn't care about going way out of the way to get to your distination, go for it. I'm a professional truck driver who makes...
Again this is great when it is actually working. However I am finding that it is not working more often than working. I tried to have Magellan replace/fix it, but you need to have proof of purchase...
Wife purchased the Magellan RoadMate 1412 for a gift for Father's Day. We live in Ontario Canada, and she purchased the unit at our local Canadian Tire, which had them marked down from $299.00 to...
This is my second unit, I'm still impressed with the ease of operation and user friendliness of the MAGELLAN MAESTRO. My only complaint is with the not so updated maps. I was told that these were...
The sound is great the directions are good. I just can't see the screen during the day time it's not the sun but the screen does not give good vision. The vision is foggie during the day. Night...
I really liked this GPS because it is not too big that it gets in your way, but is it also not so small that you have a hard time seeing it. The GPS never failed to get me to my destination, but...
There are just too many flaws to enumerate. Everything from what is included with the unit, how the unit preforms, to customer service. I am very dissapointed, would not recommend one, and will...
Larger screens may be nice for some people and are especially good for the manufacturers because they fetch higher prices, but I prefer the way the smaller screen looks in my window rather than the...
I've had other Magellan productw with no issues. I was really excited about purchasing this model based on my research on the web. I helped a relative purchase a 1412 and it appeared to work...
This is a much improved replacement to the original cradle that came with my Magellan 700 GPS. The original cradle developed a faulty power connector over time, probably from falling off the...
The little tongs you see there a extremely delicate and if one gets bent which it will you will lose connection to the GPS. A couple of years ago we had to buy a replacement cradle and at the time...
Considering the power pin in the mount appeared to be loose, I thought this would fix my issue. The power cord appeared fine. Sorry to say, this did not fix the problem and only when I bought the...
The internal spring is not corrosion proof, so use in saltwater is a short-lived event, about 1 year in my case, I am ordering my second one and will be sure to soak the spring with silicone spray...
The SporTrak GPS is very awkward to use with the data and power cable--unless it connects through this bracket. If you own a SporTrak (or other compatible GPS), you've...
This is a quality case and it fits my Magellan 2200t perfectly. Be very careful where you put the case, or with what you put on top of it. The magnet in the latch is powerful and has the...
I bought this from ANTonline. This product does NOT fit all Explorists as their advertisement says. It is not even close to fitting the Explorist XL. I returned it in perfect...
It fits the GPS well and protects it pretty good. But the belt loop instead of the clip is a let down. Most of the time I'm in motocross gear and don't have a belt. It would be nice to clip it...
Overall, the performance is good at long distances. Sometimes very hard to hear. Went to Charleston, SC and was repeatedly directed in a circle of about six blocks in area. Finally ended up looking...
The Magellan RoadMate 2000 is an entry-level portable navigation system that offers all the navigation basics, including text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, a comprehensive...

Why should I have to go through that hassle to get a current map for the unit. When I buy something new I expect it to already be updated with a recent map. Just don't think I should have to go...
This is my 3rd GPS all Magellans, since this one I bought a Garmin 200, and TomTom One 3rd Edition. All priced about the same. TomTom to me is the best. Best routing options, although the...
Magellan has chosen a very cautious specification for its entry-level Maestro 3100. The 3.5-inch touch screen has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, GPS lock is handled by the ubiquitous SiRF Star...
Very nice for finding your way around while bushwacking in the backcountry. I can put the whole state of Colorado TOPO! on one SD chip! Some difficulty starting up, but it all seems to be...
I purchased the Triton 500 prior to going on vacation in Kauai, HI. I wanted to go hiking on some of the many trails. After I purchased it, I found out that it had no topos pre-loaded. Why would...
Great sleek design, overall a nice product! Updated on Mar 11, 2009 The experience in boating and hiking are a little limited but pretty good at tracking your way and backing your way back home....
The good news is that the unit is small, portable, and has a decent battery life. The outdoor navigation feature (with very basic topo maps) seems to work, but the method of saving tracks is...
I had been waiting for a unit that would assist me in finding addresses, giving me turn by turn directions and then be usable for geocaching. I thought this was the one. However, the two features...
Satellite navigation is an essential gadget for many, but it's not just useful on the road. If you go hiking, camping, geocaching (see www.geocaching.com for more information), or even take to the...
