Customer Review: Not for travelling hiways and biways
Summary: 5 Stars
5 stars for trail use, 0 for travelling roads. while this gadget would work well for trekking offroad, its not great for roads.
Dont get this thinking your going to use it to navigate roadways.
While it does show interstates etc it does not map your route, so you better know how to get where your going already. It simply draws a straight line from point A to point B and indicates where you are.
The menus are also to slow to navigate, I drive for a living an need fast inputs, I need to put in street address's not just a city. I work long hrs and need an external power source as well. There is no connectivty to palm or laptop.
Customer Review: Explorist 200
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very pleased with this GPS unit.It's extremely sensitive, measuring your speed, direction and distance not only while in a moving vehicle, but even when walking which surprised me for an item of that price. While the map may not show your side street,I found that it shows the major freeways, thruways and main state and county roads. It even names airports (small and large} and creeks. It also lets you set waypoints and shows turns while plotting a route. Someday I'll have to read the manual to see what else it does.Customer Review: Explorist 200 is GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the explorist 200 as a navigation tool while out in the woods, primarly scouting the state lands of Michigan for hunting opportunities. The explorist has allowed me to go deep in the woods, that just wouldn't be possible with a regular compass. I know distances to and from locations and with 5000 points of interest, I will never run out of places to mark. :)
My only regret is not buying one sooner! This is a great tool for any outdoorsmen.
Customer Review: Good GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very good and accurate GPS unit. Sturdy and well made. Batteries lasted a long time and it found the satellites pretty quickly. Some of the functions such as setting it to coordinates you wanted to find was a bit awkward it worked flawlessly. I ended up selling it on E-bay as I wanted a unit with a more detailed map. The new unit has a better map but is not as accurate as this Magellan was.Customer Review: It does the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use the GPS unit for when I go out geocaching and it works great. The map detail is so much better compared to the 100 version, and I haven't noticed anything really lacking when compared to the 300 version. I've used it at my school to teach an after school geocaching program, and so far it has survived multiple encounters with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.
