Some Good Some Bad

byjackson9000 Jan 16, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Signal reception and basic GPS position accuracy.
Cons Mapping, tech support, button ergonomics, serial interface, and screen.
Recommended it? No

Satellite reception is pretty good. I can get a signal in my house, car, and in a Boeing 737. Basic GPS position data is good as well. Under good conditions I get an estimated position error of 7 ft. Field tests have confirmed less than 10 ft. error in returning to a marked position.

Pros It floats ??
Cons Screen, Map software, slow serial connection - the whole unit.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this receiver at Costco because of the price. I shortly after purchased the Magellan Mapsend Direct Route. After loading the GPS memory full, which took almost 40 mins, I tried to locate some towns in the area I was planning to cycle that weekend. I found all of the roads were listed,...

Pros Low cost, fully configurable, easy to use, accurate.
Cons Extra cost for detailed map data, no expandable memory, hard to read in daylight.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Magellan SporTrak Color GPS Receiver at Costco in December 2004 for $200. Not having owned a GPS unit before, I based my decision to purchase on cost, accuracy, screen resolution, and size. Nowhere was I able to find another color GPS unit for less than $300; every posting on the... Read full review »

This is my second stint as a GPS user. I owned a map 330 (also by magellan) about 5 years ago and I enjoyed it. Recently I have been getting into hiking and wanted a good GPS unit to help me in the back 40! I knew I wasnt going to be hiking all thetime and so I also wanted a unit that would be good...

A good outdoors GPS with limited utility

bycpasque Aug 1, 2004
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good offroad reception, new lower price, lots of functionality
Cons Poor accuracy, useless without MapSend upgrade, small memory not expandable
Recommended it? No

I chose the SporTrak color because it meets several needs in one. My primary interest is offroad biking and hiking. Secondarily I use the unit for street navigation. Reviews of various GPS units say that the SporTrack has the best reception in the woods, and I agree that the signal remains strong... Read full review »

Good unit, but designers are lazy

Pros Easy to use, menu system is intuitive.
Cons No rechargeable battery, screen scratches easily, computer cord hard to attach.
Recommended it? Yes

This unit works well. I like the color screen, and the built in maps. The buttons and menus are easy to use. I have big hands and fingers, yet the buttons don't give me any problems. Seems to be a very accurate unit.

Uses two AA batteries. This keeps cost for use lower and reduces weight... Read full review »

Cons Pre-loaded maps are weak. Eats batteries quick. Screen hard to read in bright sunlight.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first GPS unit. I did alot of research before making a purchase. I found this GPS unit to have all the features that I wanted and needed. The color screen is clear and bright, and I have to admit that this was the final deciding factor. This unit is also sleek looking, compact enough to... Read full review »

New SporTrak doesn't live up to its potential

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great GPS satellite reception; broad set of features.
Cons Poor screen viewing angle; usually requires backlight; keys unnecessarily hard to use.
Recommended it? No

I recently took the Magellan SporTrak Color for an extended test drive, comparing it with Magellan's line of grayscale SporTraks.

The obvious advantage of the Color over the other SporTraks is its color screen. Unfortunately this advantage is also a liability. Compared with the grayscale... Read full review »
