Magellan eXplorist 500: Proprietary and Inconvenient

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
Review: The Magellan eXplorist 500 has a lithium ion battery and a non-standard proprietary power and USB connector. This makes it inappropriate for travelling because the eXplorist 500 cannot be recharged with a standard 12 volt vehicle inverter or a mains...

Great value

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: Great value in a full featured GPS.
Review: I have had this unit since it was first introduced 2.5 years ago, and it works great. The file management system if the best of any GPS. If you are an experienced user, you will like how you can save track, route and POI files, move them into...

Incredible Handheld GPS Unit

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Pick one of the new Magellan Explorist units and buy it. With all they have to offer, they are well worth the money. Very reasonably priced.
Review: I am new to the world of GPS so I did a lot of research into the different handheld GPS units. The primary two companies that appear to be at the forefront of the industry are Garmin and Magellan.

I investigated each company and its...

Does the basics well. Poor user interface and customer support.

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you're prepared to put up with a slow and clunky user interface, this unit works well. Beware that maps may be expensive.
Review: This is my 5th GPS unit and was bought for general use (hiking, skiing, occasional driving and as a backup for gliding). My initial impressions are that it has a very sensitive receiver, the display is adequate but the user interface is poor. PC...
