Steer clear from Magellan Explorist 400

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Don't buy Magellan anything- customer service is lacking in many ways--
Review: My husband bought me a Geocaching Bundle package which included the Magellan Explorist 400 at the end of September 2006. I had many problems in the four months which followed, which were complicated by the extremely dissatisfying customer service I...

great GPS, awful customer service

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: GPS unit is solid. Easy to use (read the manual) Does the job for less $$. Support is just about the worse that I have seen.
Review: First unit I bought was bad. Had to send it back. I talked to support, did not have to hold long, but they seem rather inept. I got the feeling that they were just reading a manual. The unit would not power up all they way. I called support and they...

Does Not Work On a Network System

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Do not purchase if it is to be installed on a Network and be prepared to solve only simple issue with the Tech Support.
Review: As a Geotechnical Engineering Group We purchased two units as a start up. We want the GPS to log location (POI) and download to the computer then add to the GIS data base.
Will only work on the network system if administrator is logged on...

Do not buy this gps unit (or anything else from Magellan)

Date of Review:  May 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product (unless you enjoy frustration).
Review: I am entirely dissatisfied with my (brief) experience as an owner of a Magellan Explorist 400.

First, the user manuals sent with the Explorist 400 and the accompanying MapSend Topo Canada software are inadequate. The user manuals are...

Accurate, reliable GPS

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend for those who want a good gps without breaking the bank. It is reliable and accurate- thats all you really need.
Review: Before I bought the 400 I owned the Explorist 100. It was perfect, no problems but I wanted to upgrade. I am an avid geocacher and explorer. I went back and forth between the 500 and 400, even looking at the Garmins. I read a lot of reviews and...
