A pleasant surprise
I bought this GPS crossover skeptical of purchasing a used one. It was just like brand new and my son has been beside himself with the quality and features of this model. I would not have been able to purchase this item new. It made Christmas for me and my son. Thank you. .... Read more

OK until it broke
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 awkward (rather than naming your track first, you need to remember to name it and stop writing to it after your hike).

I use it mainly for vehicle navigation, and it works reasonably well. It does sometimes come up with non-optimal routes (compared to Google, or my own knowledge), and the map .... Read more

Magellan GPS gets lost
About a year ago, I bought a Magellan Crossover to help my wife get around town (her sense of direction is 90%+ wrong, really quite amazing). I also wanted to use it for kayaking. I though I had found a great unit from a reputable company.

The facts:

The Magellan GPS gets lost. It frequently goes schizophrenic. The little pink line which indicates where to go is correct, but the directions on screen or issued verbally are wrong. The Magellan GPS has repeatedly announced .... Read more

Don't buy
Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they .... Read more

Finally a gps that does it both.
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 are not so well integrated. Works like all others for navigating the roads. But if you want to navigate the roads to get close to a geocache and then find it offroads, you must program a POI for driving and then program a Waypoint to find it. Not easy if you want to set up about 10 or more of them. .... Read more
