Customer Reviews:
Good enough to buy.......2007-08-15
I agree with other reviews. This unit is totally useless unless you buy additional mapping software...and a memory expansion card. So consider that in the overall purchase price.
My unit from Amazon came with a map software purchase coupon for $9.99 (this offer may be expired by now).
Battery life is excellent
Backlight is excellent. (has two levels of brightness)
Satellite tracking is excellent (I typically track 9-10 even in the woods. There has only been two times when I lost tracking and then I was in a deep ravine with almost total tree cover.)
Display is good. Grayscale...I keep on high resolution all the time. Makes for a slight delay in zoom speed, but resolution benefits outweigh speed issues.
For those of you who may chicken out and buy a model 200 or 100...buy this one. You will need the expansion card option.
My advice...download the entire owners manual from the Magellan web site (PDF format) and study it well. Then begin to play around with this unit. Get involved in Geocaching too. It will help you learn more of the features faster.
I have also used this unit for a travel GPS. Signal remains strong even inside a mini van.
I don't really have a "CON" to write about this unit. It is a great "first purchase" GPS. Durable, fits in pocket, and good controls.
Good but............read.......2007-08-12
Well i dint read very well the specs, but sometimes It become handy that the equipment provideds there own rechargebel batteries, but what happend if Im inside the woods I need to replace the energy? wao no place to put another type of battery...this is my only incovinent...Greetins from the Republic Of Panama!

I really like my GPS.......2007-07-19
I have had this unit for four months now and have not had any problems with it. Some of the things are not very intuitive so you have to read the manual from time to time, but after you get used to them, the unit works very well.
Accuracy seems to be very good.
I have dropped it on concrete and had it skid across the sidewalk and it came out unscathed.
I use my receiver for geocaching and it works really well for that. I have not tried using it for finding roads or addresses or anything like that.
difficult to use.......2007-06-28
The display is nothing like what is pictured on the web site. The sharpness, black and white, just isn't there.
It does not come with a printed use manual. It does have a manual on a CD if that's the way you like to study a use manual then go for it.
Ugh..........2007-04-11
Nice product. However, I haven't been able to get the thing to work with my Windows Vista computer. Customer service is based out of India... heavy accents but nice people.

Can't handle the cold weather.......2007-12-20
Interestingly enough, this may be the only GPS made for hiking and the outdoors on the market that develops hypothermia. If I leave my Explorist 400 outside overnight in my truck and start it when it is cold (cold being a relative term - I am in Georgia - we're only talking the 30's) it loses its mind. It shows that there are no maps loaded, and that essentially the SIM card is empty.
